P.S. for Charlie,

That rock you kept referring to on the property is a Corps./Division marker. With the hours I put in there, my mind sometimes blanks out. I remembered after you left. DUH!

Sorry for my delay….trying to get back in the swing of things upon returning from vacation really sucks.

I finally have some time so I thought I would sit down and upload 4 pics from our trip to Gettysburg…..not happening tonight either, I need to figure out how to compress the files for they are to large to upload. So, I guess I need another day or 2 to upload the pictures. /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I can't say how much we enjoyed this vacation and we are already trying to figure out when we can swing it to go back out. We know there are still so many places we weren't able to visit. We would also like to go back sometime when it isn't quit so busy so we can try to get some more pictures and EVP's from the soldiers.

We did do an EVP one night in the hotel office and there is a clear clink of glass…which surprised us cause there was no glass in the room and we were in a completely different area of the office when we had the recorder going. I haven't spent time yet listening to the recorder for I let it run all night long the night before we left, anxious to see if we caught any activity throughout the night.

Charlie and Kristy,

Sithy's suggestions are great. Try uploading them to photobucket. You can downsize them there for uploading here. If you need help, let me know. I'm off tomorrow (yay) and will be looking at them more closely. There is SO much going on in them!

I wanna share an experience that recently happened to myself and a few of my friends.

First, my best friend has been experiencing paranormal phenomena since he was very young and has many unnerving stories. I don't have many experiences and up until a few months ago nothing i could really share.

Just got a call so I'll make this brief.

My friend is living in a ginormous place left to him by his grandparents, the table in the kitchen is every bit of 10 ft long.

There are four of us huddled on one end of this table playing cards. We are very competent players playing for real money so the atmosphere is fairly tense. In other words we are extremely focused and you could hear a pin drop most of the time. Almost at the other end of the table is a common, bright yellow spray nozzle that was obviously new and unused. All of a sudden- i don't know if it was the sound or movement that initially caught my attention- i watch it slide in a not so nice manner slamming into an adjacent chair rattling around in the seat before coming to rest on the floor.

I instantly looked across to one of the other dudes- who i might add has no knowledge or interest in the PN- and asked if he did something. He looked at me bewildered and asked "how the hell could i have done that." He then looked right at my best friend and said "i think you have a ghost in your house."

Of course I had to survey the situation and can attest to no fishing line being present. There was absolutely no one else there and we estimate the nozzles starting point near the center of the table. It was truly unexplainable. They all seemed to kinda shake it off but i was bewildered to say the least.

I spend a lot of time at this place and so far can report no EMF abnormalities.

I would estimate the closest person being at least 8+ feet from the nozzle.

Imagine a table designed for multiple families to eat on Sunday, extremely long and wide. One side of the table has fixed bench type seating and the other has normal chairs. It would take a couple of men on one corner to make it shift and I don't know what it would take to tilt it in a manner where things begin to slide off. A very valid question MK, though if you saw the tables sheer size you would soon realize that four stoic poker players within arms reach of each other had nothing to do with this movement near the other end.

So was it focused brain power and emotion that triggered this movement or simply another instance of the unexplained revolving around my friend?

I don't get the urge to post often( be glad guys:) so I'll share one more of his jaw droppers. I need to share this one because if it's left up to my buddy he never will.

Well, there is a girl that comes to visit my buddy from out of state 2 or 3 times per year. And when she's around/leaves things seem to escalate in terms of the unexplained around Bud. Bud has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. He's the type of guy that could be bleeding to death and wouldn't complain for fear of inconveniencing someone. If you had to, you could leave your naked wife and 2mil cash with him and never have to worry. The ultimate dude, also very private and would kill me if he knew i was writing this. Just wanna be clear of his credibility. I would probably consider his word over something i was fairly sure of.

So he's laying in bed one night(it may have been the night of chic leaving or the next) "very awake" he says. What he told me gave me a chill like no other and there would be no doubt of his coherence. He's laying there and all of a sudden he feels a 'bug' or something hit his covered feet. He said "I heard and felt the impact." As he lays there wondering what it could have been he realizes that it's the dead of winter and a bug is unlikely, this spooks him enough to not investigate immediately.

After getting the will to get up and turn on the light, examining the foot of the bed, nothing appears to be there.

The he see's it.

It makes him instantaneously begin a search for 'someone' playing games. Much to his dismay the house was empty. Besides, none of our friends are silent ninjas.

Something obviously didn't like Bud and Chic sharing a pan of cinnamon rolls because there in the floor as bright as day was a 'hunk' of cinnamon roll. This was impossible. Not only because cinnamon rolls don't throw themselves but also the fact the food NEVER left the kitchen. The very first thing i asked was if he was eating in bed. Negative. I saw the pan and it was almost untouched.

His room does adjoin near the kitchen but the creepy thing was after we went over all the facts and the 'hunks' final resting place, it was nearly impossible for it to be lying in it's position and been thrown directly from the kitchen. It was thrown from behind his head and glanced off near his feet. That means it would have had to of worked it's way through the living room and back around behind him.

If it wasn't Bud in question and I not seen the evidence myself… I wouldn't believe.

Let me try these pictures again… I hope this works.

YEAH!!!!! I got it!

Here is a brief description of the location each of these pics were taken:

Corp Marker…was taken standing in front of our room 156 looking towards the marker. Mind you as sitting out on our little patio my wife kept saying "I see movement over by that "rock"!" So she decided to snap a picture…this is what she got.

Fireworks:

Fireworks were being let off clear on the other side of Gettysburg, these are some of the images that we caught. Carolyn explained ectoplasms to us. (my wife kept saying….it's just the fireworks, but have other pics that we took that look just like a firework going off????)

Ecto:

I kept feeling like someone was behind me, smelt cherry tobacco and hearing noises so I shot this pic towards the railroad cut…this is what I got. It was a gorgeous clear night…so if not a spirit what is it?? No fog or mist was around at all.

Enjoy!!!!

cperkins, thanks for posting the pics and description.

I have no idea what it is, but enjoy looking. The light trails are quite long.

Thanks for sharing.

I think these are AWESOME shots! When Charlie and Kristy showed me these (and others) they took on their camera, I was stunned. When they said they took them during the fireworks that were taking place on the other side of Gettysburg, I was very excited. To me, they showed that the soldier spirits on the property were agitated or excited by the sound of the fireworks that almost duplicates cannon or artillery fire. This is especially telling since the suite where they were staying sits on approximately the same location where 4 cannon sat and were heavily engaged during the afternoon of Day One of the battle. It is also the location where there was spill over fighting between the 6th Wisconsin vs. the 55th N.C. and 2nd and 42nd Mississippi on the morning of Day One of the battle. During the retreat of the Union on the afternoon of Day One, many different Union regiments were also pursued through the property, on this ground, by the advancing Confederates.

That last shot shows the tree line which covers the infamous Railroad Cut. On the morning of Day One, the Union successfully engaged Confederate troops. After that part of the battle, there were 1,000 Confederate rifles picked up from the Railroad Cut. In the afternoon, the reverse took place and many Union troops were trapped and killed down in that Railroad Cut.

I can't wait until we have another fireworks exhibition in town. I'll be bringing my camera and taking pictures in this same location and all around the property to see if this agitation or excitement due to the similar sound a cannon would make is displayed again.

I have never been given spirit energy in this form before, but I have seen shots like this from other locations.

Thanks for sharing these amazing shots! There is so much going on in these pictures!
