Naw Z, we've got lots, just didn't want to be "greedy" last Winter. LOL


Who doesn't believe in ghosts? Come hang with me for a while.....you will have a different opinion than you do now...that's for sure! LOL

Okay, who has been to Gettysburg?

Connect the dots folks;
Youngest Daughter 8-10, bright imagination, bright red hair (& all that it entails-trust me)
Divining rods made from 50% pure silver...(Silfoss50)
Gettysburg at night

We used to go up often and went to the touristy places like the Jenny Wade house (she was the only civilian to be killed during the battle) and various tours and stuff. This is back when the Ghost Searching shows were still new and she asked me about ghosts.....I told her the truth, I believe there are things that we don't recognize or understand about death and that I keep an open mind.

These pics were from a 2008 trip that included an outdoor "ghost tour".....typically lightweight stuff...but during the tour, people started getting really antsy, then the whispers.....they were feeling "presence"; 1 woman broke out walking away saying she was being chased.....of course we couldn't see anything.....but the camera....well, you decide.

The 1st two pics are taken on the battlefield as you can see statues and cannons looming in the shadows


Again, I've read the various reasons for the possible "scientific" reasons for the pics...so just decide for yourself.

We had lots of visits where we struck out, no orbs, no answers to our questions, neither of us "feeling presence"....then there have been other trips that were so intense that I was thankful for the 2 hr trip back home so we could talk about what had happened and to help my child process it and not be afraid of it because they weren't answering my questions, she held the rods and they answered hers! She was pretty young for that kind of stuff so I was on the lookout for any signs that it may be a problem but she went through the "phase" after a couple years and really never discusses it except at Holidays

The TV shows are fabricated crap.....what do they expect, a written note? NO, you need to KISS keep it super simple.....

We ask Yes/no stuff, open or close the rods to answer please. Amazing things....she "talked" to a Union soldier that was early 30's so he was "old" for back then, married and never saw the shot that killed him.

She "spoke" with a Confederate soldier for 40 minutes one night and halfway through, asked him if it would be okay for Dad to continue cause her hands were sore, she transferred the diving rods to me and she asked and he answered.....opening and closing the rods in response, no matter the "levelness" of the rods.

This is the kind of trouble I was blessed with...this is when she was young, before she became dangerous!

Imagine those pretty blues rolling backwards, head spinning like a top and inhuman sounds erupting.....yup, her moms daughter!

LOL

I keep coming back to this picture. She's so beautiful. I'm partial to redheads. My younger sister and brother were redheads too. My sister was born with blue eyes and her hair was the color of a brand new penny.😘

I work a little part time job now at an auto parts store.
We have a motion sensitive alert that tells us when we have a customer.
For the last few weeks, it's been randomly going off when no one is there. And my co worker says it only goes off when I'm there. So I jokingly told him that it's probably just my ghost.
That was a mistake. Because he's so superstitious that he believes me and now has "Holy candles" in our break room.
He's a nervous wreck.

I didn't for over 3 years. I just tried to relax and retire. It made me very old.
I would too if I could. Especially in a parts store. They have tools 😁 I probably wouldn't take home a paycheck after shopping with a discount. Hopefully you get a big one yet still get a paycheck πŸ™πŸ€— sounds like fun to me.

I have cameras outside my house but not inside. My son got a picture one night with his phone. They look around corners and door ways. I've seen the lady in my son's old room and I'm my laundry room full on apparition. Kinda looks like a woman's reflection in glass. The wife and I got some good photos on the Galveston island tours. In the red light districts. I wish I could post them on here. I may have her send me them and I'll see if y'all can see what we see.
