EVP Audio

This audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

Infrared Lighting Video

No anomalies detected in the spot check of the IRPOV video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Structured Light Sensor Video

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Possible anomaly in Philadelphia Alley, marker 28:30. This one caught my attention because it only appeared once during the time of the camera in this position. It also has three “points” for a head, signifying a nose and two eyes. (single dotted heads are debunked easily). If this were to appear several times in the same position, this could be debunked as the shape of the wall was picked up, but this one has me scratching my head a bit.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 10:26 “son”
  • 10:34 “how did he”
  • 15:36 “7:30” Granted, this was a “time” in the radio context, but I decided to look up July 30 in Charleston’s history. What I found was that two of Eliza Pinckney’s sons, Charles and Thomas, met with their cousin, Charles in Philadelphia on this day in 1781. I don’t find this a coincidence that we were near the Pinckney Mansion site at this time.
  • 20:30 “thirty-nine million pounds”
  • 35:40 “teaching first”
  • 51:04 “living, I’m able to do the things”

    1:10:27 “four”
  • 1:10:38 “Chapter three, verse fifteen”
  • 1:15:58 (odd laughter) Found this odd that it “echoed” itself via radio transmission.
  • 1:25:22 “next week”
  • 1:25:26 “save someone”
  • 1:31:09 “October 12”
  • 1:34:59 “female” It’s not uncommon to hear/see female gendered terms when discussing Anne Bonny who was often mistaken for a male pirate. 
  • 1:35:19 “stubborn like a mule”
  • 1:35:36 “my sister cared” 
  • 1:45:46 “he’s awake”
  • 1:51:13 “journey”
  • 2:00:13 “find”

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:45 “old”
  • 5:12 “beautiful”
  • 5:34 “I’m begging you”
  • 5:46 “be careful” This is very faint. Along with “I’m begging you”, we have a full sentence. 
  • 10:52 ‘I really hope you’ll love it”
  • 10:54 “at home on my birthday”
  • 20:46 “fifty-seven”
  • 30:32 “verse twenty” Big John Cannady’s first jersey number was twenty.
  • 30:55 “he made it”
  • 35:25 “insulate”
  • 50:40 “attendant”
  • 55:39 “big” Very vague, but we were still just one block away from Big John’s Tavern.
  • 1:00:16 “twenty-two, fifty”
  • 1:10:24 “stay with me”

  • 1:25:20 “something I teased”
  • 1:30:24 “the judge” We briefly discussed the judge at Anne Bonny’s piracy trial. More is needed to confirm this is a clue about Judge Nicholas Lawes.
  • 1:31:03 “keep your head above water” 
  • 1:45:10 “one of the co-authors”
  • 1:45:34 “seventeen point lead” The Powder Magazine was established in 1713. Quite possibly the same “seventeen” that was heard in real time.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:14 “ten A.M.”
  • 0:36 “you will make a difference”

  • 1:55:17 “find me”
  • 1:55:26 “old school” I would soon be asking Henry Timrod how he met his wife, Katie. This is a common question I ask of Henry. He was her schoolteacher, she was only 16 years old when they met.
  • 2:00:29 “royals” I was LITERALLY saying we were among royalty around this time. See EVP Audio.
  • 2:05:13 “not quite done yet”
  • 2:05:24 “the good people” Along with “good” on the digital word list below, this is Henry Timrod’s wife’s maiden name: Katie Goodwyn.

EVP Audio

This first audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:09 “watch out for flying”
  • 5:08 “I dare you”
  • 10:26 “not a crisis”
  • 19:32 “ninety-three” Eliza Lucas Pinckney died in 1793.
  • 25:38 “wait, how long”
  • 29:56 “stop you in your tracks”
  • 35:58 “restore damaged”
  • 40:45 “and married” (possibly disembodied, needs a full analysis) This could be in correlation to the “fourteen” that James heard. Eliza Lucas and Charles PInckney were married for fourteen years 1744-58.
  • 45:24 “1925”
  • 55:55 “outdoor court”
  • 1:00:36 “problems when you’re growing up”
  • 1:10:36 “fifty-two”
  • 1:15:46 “context”
  • 1:20:34 “SS”
  • 1:25:24 “my will” Anne Bonny’s father was William Cormac.
  • 1:30:33 “Nick” Though common to hear my name in spaces I frequent, this is more likely relative to the judge over Anne Bonny’s trial: Nicholas Lawes. There is a third relation and only a secondary clue could verify any of these, BUT, the Nicholas Trott House (first Chief Justice in the U.S.) sits on the other side of the Powder Magazine.
  • 1:35:35 “broke out” (song lyric)
  • 1:45:16  “auction”
  • 1:46:02 “seven fold” The number seven is often heard around this area due to Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd’s birthday of July 7 or 7/7 (it often comes in doubles for verification).
  • 1:46:05 “sandstorm” The Powder Magazine has sand under the red shingles to stop the “gun powder” from burning down the entire building in the event of an attack on the building. This, like the earthquake bolts, is a great idea, but also doesn’t work. The sand still sits under the shingles from the original construction between 1703-13.
  • 1:50:04 “join Mark” Mary Read’s pirate name was Mark Read.
  • 2:00:29 “questions”
  • 2:05:10 “my family and friends”
  • 2:05:26 “thermometer” We did discuss how it looked like Jon was getting warm and red in the face during the Estes session.
  • 2:16:11 “eight five”
  • 2:20:14 “I like that question”

Terms heard on the spirit box(es): Though an unsuccessful Estes session, the phrase “stop smoking” was said, and it’s noteworthy since “smoking” appeared on the word generator in the same location on the previous investigation. Scroll to the word list of September 22), “All alone” was also said several minutes after asking if Henry Timrod brough anyone else with him. And lastly, “friends” was said and also appeared on our word list above in close proximity of time.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

:

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:02 “that is right”
  • 5:34 “burnin’ for you” (song lyric) Big John’s Tavern underwent a fire in the mid 2010’s.
  • 15:28 “opening up”
  • 19:51 “I wrote”
  • 20:56 “I was always like this…as a boy”
  • 25;38 “five fifteen P.M.”
  • 30:36 “please let me drink” Still near Big John’s Tavern.
  • 40:05 “nobody walking around”
  • 50:31 “with me now”
  • 55:47 “last forty years”
  • 1:00;41 (whistling) Inside Philadelphia Alley where we discussed The Whistling Doctor.
  • 1:00:54 “here I am” (song lyric)
  • 1:10;46 “Sanders” Getting closer to the Powder Magazine which has sand under the shingles of the roof that was placed there during the construction of the building to help with any explosions in the event of an attack on the gunpowder inside. 
  • 1:16:06 “seventeen dollars” Part of the year that the Powder Magazine was finished: 1713.
  • 1:25:50 “if you’ve been there and you’ve done it”
  • 1:30:38 “with me”
  • 1:40:06 “give us new songs to sing”
  • 1:40:59 “Roger” Noteworthy that “Rog” was heard in real time. John “Calico Jack” Rackham designed the “skull and cross swords” flag we affiliate with piracy for the Jolly Roger.
  • 1:45:29 “hearing echoes”
  • 1:50:45 “October 5th” Entering Washington Park. I do not find it coincidental that Henry Timrod died on October 6, 1867. This is a very close, yet specific date.
  • 1:55:37 “two guys”
  • 2:00:28 “fiction” 
  • 2:04:36 “books” I asked Henry several times to tell us about his occupation. He was a poet.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn: 

EMF in milligauss: 7mG, 16mG, 32mG, 43mG.

Images created through SEER App: 

*Side note on the image of the 18th century living room/parlor. I looked into the words written in the bottom right corner: “amaje” means love in Spanish, and the word “line” is visible: “love line”.

EVP Audio

This first audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:54 “one verse”
  • 5:43 “left side of the line” Along with “legs” in the digital word list below, this could be a strong reference to Thomas PInckney who was shot in the left leg during the Battle of Camden.
  • 10;33 “made that decision with her”
  • 10:43 “indigo…my host” We discussed Eliza Lucas’s indigo crops.
  • 20:18 “fish”
  • 30:30 “California” (song lyric)
  • 40:48 “have you done this”
  • 45:57 “true love” (song lyric) We discussed how Eliza and Charles’s tale was a true love story.
  • 46:05 “wedding day” Close in time proximity to the previous phrase.
  • 46:13 “named Peter” Eliza Lucas Pinckney is buried in St. Peter’s in Philadelphia.
  • 50:41 “naked”
  • 1:05:32 “to the baby” We didn’t discuss this tale, but see “8-8” below.
  • 1:10:30 “twelve”
  • 1:15:06 “don’t stand” (song lyric)
  • 1:20:53 “have to bring their own”
  • 1:25:15 “eight eight” Along with “to the baby” above, we were near the grave of Sue Howard Hardy where there is a famous picture of her apparition near her grave. She died in 1888. The photo is cursed to females, so I’m leaving you with this safe link to open and read the details of her story.
  • 1:30:34 “shell”
  • 1:35:24 “out of control” Vague, but we were discussing a very ornery, female pirate, Anne Bonny.
  • 1:44:52 “bad medicine” (song lyric) Still near Philadlephia Alley where this could be a reference to The Whistling Doctor.
  • 1:55:40 “mask”
  • 2:00;14 “there was a loud noise”
  • 2:05:45 “that story”
  • 2:16:01 “good analogy” Vague, since we didn’t ask about her directly, but Henry Timrod’s wife was Katie Goodwyn.We’ve asked about her in previous Estes sessions and the word “good” is often said. 

Structured Light Sensor Video

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Markers 30:12 and 30:21, Pinckney Mansion site. This slight manifestation shows itself twice with quite a bit of time in between while the camera was steady. Use the slidebar to see a lightened version of the original screenshot to show there is nothing behind the purple mapping. The three “points” for a head indicate eyes and nose which make up the contour of a face.

Terms heard on spirit box(es): “thirteen, seven” (Powder Magazine was finished in 1713), “sin” (more religious terms), “true story”, “September 9”, “what are you trying to do”

Here are the images created by the SEER app through the VR Headset:

Washington Square:.

 Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy. 

EMF in milligauss: 3.1mG.

Terms heard on the spirit box(es): “twenty-two years”, “years”, “thumb”, “proud of something”, “ninety-eight”, “John”, (phone/bell ringing as I asked Henry to tell us the sound of the St. Michael’s church bells)

Here are the images that were created by the SEER app through the VR headset: 

*In reference to the “cave-like” photo, here is a short stanza written by H. Timrod: 

I hear a murmur as of waves

                        That grope their way through sunless caves,

                        Like bodies struggling in their graves,

                        Carolina!

–”Carolina”, Stanza IV; Timrod, Henry.

**In reference to the sparrow photo, Timrod worked and sold his work to a newspaper to gain his small fame and poetic title of laureate.

 We’ve created this Field Guide to help you navigate your media below. There are paranormal evidence examples to aid you in what to look/watch/listen for in your own data set along with a short tutorial of each device used in nightly investigations.

EVP Audio

This first audio contains all the histories we discussed during your investigation along with any EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that may have slipped through.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 0:36 “everybody at home”
  • 5:02 “Yellowstone”
  • 10:37 “distant galaxy”
  • 15:46 “hey, mom”
  • 20:15 “September 13th”
  • 25:48 “wanna do”
  • 35:33 “won’’t you love me”
  • 39:59 “twenty-eight, fifty-six”
  • 41:38 “fifty-six”
  • 50:31 “his house”
  • 1:00:33 “she wanted men to”
  • 1:05;37 “going to hear a prayer” Common to begin hearing religious terms as we neared St. Philip’s Church.
  • 1:15:48 “wall of China” I’ve heard the term “wall” here several times. Cumberland Street used to be part of the original Charles Town Wall. We were walking up Cumberland to get to the Powder Magazine around this time.
  • 1:20:05 “in the woods”
  • 1:25:17 “Joe Biden” You would think I hear this name a lot on these sweeps, but I do not. We had just finished discussing Dr. Joseph Brown Ladd.
  • 1:30:23 “why doesn’t she go buy a tool” This one is odd: it’s the same voice over 5 radio station sweeps, and I had to slow it down to understand it. The first round of words is indiscernible even after slowing it down. I left a separated audio of this clip below.
  • 1:35:52 “literally”
  • 1:45;06 “material”
  • 1:50:10 “no…judgment” 
  • 1:50:30 “I don’t know where to start” We would’ve been getting ready for our Estes Session around this time.
  • 1:55:45 “ice cream truck”
    2:00:04 “go home” Very direct/distinct. I would’ve been asking Henry Timrod if he wanted us to leave around this time. 
  • 2:05:46 “he argued”
  • 2:10:08 “Christmas made Kevin” I want you to question why we heard the word “Christmas” in September. Henry Timrod’s son, Willie, had a birthday of Christmas Eve.

Thermal Imaging Video

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Marker 18:00 begins a very cold anomaly on the TriField Meter. The temperatures range from 26.9 degrees to 34 degrees. There is no reason for this device to be this cold after being held by Karen for over thirty minutes as well as having a backlit screen where the cold anomaly resides for a few seconds. 

Infrared Lighting Video

No anomalies detected in the spot check of the IRPOV video. This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Structured Light Sensor Video

This video can and should also be used as an EVP Audio.

Marker 7:21, Pinckney Mansion Site. Notice the three “points” on the face? Normally, I would discount anything without these three points that would be the contours of a face (nose and eyes). Odd catch. 

Marker 28:21, Washington Park. This figure flickered in and out several times and what caught my attention was the solo “dot” on the left. I can’t recall ever seeing this before. What also caught my attention was that nothing else in this image was mapped, including the Henry Timrod bust.

SBox Spirit Box Audio

These are the terms/phrases I discovered during my spot check of the SBox spirit box audio. Those that are noteworthy have an explanation and/or links in their description. Others are because they might be relevant to you directly or to someone else in the group.

  • 1:15:44 “cinnamon” Along with the word “pipe” found in the digital word list below, I asked Liz if the word cinnamon also came up.

Real Time Events based on Location:

Names of locations in Green are links to the original investigations conducted by Stories in the Cemetery and will hold extra resources of each location.

Big John’s Tavern/Big Red Barn:

No activity recorded.

Pinckney Mansion Site:

EMF in milligauss: 3.8mG, 7.1mG. 

Terms heard on spirit boxes: “eleven thirty” (see “smoke” in the digital word list above), “five seven”, “five ten” (can’t be denied that this is the birthday of Allee on the team), “lemon”, “seventy-thousand” (Eliza Lucas died at the age of 70 in 1793).

Philadelphia Alley:

No EMF recorded.

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: Plenty of religious terms as we neared St. Philip’s Church “Solomon”, “the Lord has come”, “three”, “two thirty-nine, fifty six”, “Vaughn”, “Jessie”.

Powder Magazine:

EMF discovery of 2.6mG.

Terms heard on the spirit boxes: “that’s when the cocaine kicks in”, “Kathy”, “Jane”. 

Washington Square:.

Complete works of Henry Timrod, Laureate of the Confederacy. 

An EMF reading of 4.1mG was discovered while at this location. 

ESTES Method: A slightly successful ESTES Method session performed while at this site. Two direct answers stood out when asking Henry Timrod if other spirits were with him: “that’s not so” and the word “trinity” was said right at the beginning whereas both Henry Timrod and his son, Willie are buried at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Cemetery in Columbia, SC.  

During the session, Allee, the outside spirit box listener, heard “the window”, then an image of a room with a large window appeared in the SEER app. 

Here are the three images that were created by the SEER app through the VR headset:
