Historical

The Haunting of the White House

#Ghosts have been a part of myth and #history for an inordinate amount of time. Nobody can pinpoint when the first #ghost was spotted or felt. They are here to stay as far as people are concerned. Many people describe ghost as entities or the spirits of those who have died but have remained on earth whether by choice or force. Unbeknown to many citizens of the USA, especially those who reside on the West Coast. Most don’t pay much attention to the ongoings of the East Coast, the greatest house in the country is also known for being a #haunted house. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, we are talking about #the White House in Washington D. C. There have been countless accounts spanning the course of history of ghost sightings that have been tied to the White House. Not just sightings either, but the eerie presence of not being alone in that big house and someone from the past looking over your shoulder. From presidents to wives and servants, there is a lot of history in that house and some of it has stayed through the passage of time. At Your Service, Mr. President Seven score and fourteen years ago, a tragedy befell the great nation of the #United States when John Wilkes Booth snuck up behind the 16th President and ended his life as well as any further good he could have done the country with a single bullet. Although #Abraham Lincoln may be gone physically there have been rumors and sightings of Honest Abe wandering the White House. Abraham Lincoln died in 1865 and if rumors of his ghost remaining in the White House are true, he has #haunted the place for over 150 years. People have reported seeing Lincoln standing by windows overlooking the White House grounds and if he was watching or waiting for something, while others have been awoken to a knock on their door from the esteemed President himself. #Eleanor Roosevelt never saw Abraham Lincoln herself, but she told stories about how she was able to feel a presence in the room with her and she believed it to be Lincoln due to the melancholic air that the President was rumored to be constantly surrounded by since the life he lived was a tragic one. At Ease, Mr. President One of the #theories behind the presence of ghosts is that they have unfinished business to attend to and only after that is complete can they move on and rest in peace. So what would be the unfinished business President Lincoln has hanging over his head making it impossible for him to find peace in the afterlife? One of the reasons people believe Lincoln is not ready to move on is that he is still watching over the country that he loved so much. The timing of Lincoln making himself known to the guest of the White House is when the United States seems to be nearing a disaster of some sort. It brings a little comfort knowing that he is still watching over us even in death. Another possibility for the continuing presence of #Abe Lincoln in the White House is the death of his son Willie. Lincoln’s son died when he was 11, inside in the White House, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln never recovered from losing him. His parents have recorded sightings of him when they lived there. Abe Lincoln may not want to lose his son again and chose to remain there with him

Hell Unearthed: The Dozier School for Boys

If you should live in the Wiregrass region, you live mere miles away from the location of the former #Dozier School for Boys, incorrectly described as a reform school, a little more accurately described as an abhorrent prison for young boys, and, in more realistic terms, a virtual hell on Earth, full of physical, mental, sexual and psychological torture and abuse for poor little boys, some of whom had committed petty crimes, and many of whom were #orphans who had committed no crimes at all. The black and white little boys were separated, and, not surprisingly, it was the young African-American boys who suffered the worst torture and abuse during the Dozier School’s heyday in the 1900s. As more and more is discovered about what went on the grounds of the Dozier School, the truth becomes more and more violent, #depraved and unimaginable. Yet, the evidence is there. Rooms devoted to physical torture. Bloodstains still evident on the walls. And the #unmarked graves, spread everywhere across the school’s vast property, still being unearthed. Compelling evidence Perhaps the most compelling evidence and all is the testimony of the few surviving former inmates of the Dozier School for boys, who have just begun to share the true horror of the experiences they suffered and endured at the horrid, brutal, disgusting, hellish and #deplorable Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, #Florida. Perhaps one day the WEBB Paranormal Group will have the opportunity to visit the cursed former premises of the Dozier School to see firsthand a location where compassion was abandoned, morals were shirked, and #children were abused and destroyed, even those who survived. Some scars never heal.

Discrepancies of the Evidence at Pauly Jail

Bullock County Jail aka #Pauly Jail in #Union Springs, AL What mystery involves previous the inmates of the infamous Pauly Jail aka Bullock County Jail Museum in Union Springs, #Alabama? Do they linger on there? Discrepancies of the Evidence With two inmates that are rumored to have been executed in the jail, I would like to offer something for the reader to think about when reading over the evidence that is presented by others in their investigations of the old jailhouse. “One of the oldest surviving jails in the state, the Pauly Jail, was erected in 1897 and used, as a film set in 2004, is a three-story red brick structure.” http://www.unionspringsalabama.com/Pauly-Jail.html #Pauline McCoy Many have reported seeing or finding evidence of a Pauline McCoy at Pauly Jail. Pauline was convicted of the murder of a young woman of 14 years old and accused of doing this over a coat. How can this be when she was hung in 1888, which is 9 years before the erection of Pauly Jail? This is my source: The Daily Picayune, October 13, 1888 (page 3) The Daily Picayune had supplied a scanty few additional details from Pauline’s supposed jailhouse confession a few weeks before (September 5, 1888) Also, you will find this statement on the website for Union Springs: “The Bullock County Jail of 1897 replaced the jail of 1868, which stood on West Hardaway Street” http://www.unionspringsalabama.com/Pauly-Jail.html #Aberdeen Johnson Aberdeen Johnson is another of the inmates of Pauly Jail that met his death but was it at the jail or somewhere else? He is also said to use the name Walker too. #Webb Paranormal Group has some doubt after being at the jail for the last two seasons searching for evidence and many trips to the libraries. Let’s look at the discrepancies of the evidence below. Read this Excerpt: A shot rang out as the mob marched along half a mile south of town and it was found that a young man has wounded the #negro in the right hip with a double-barrel derringer. He managed, however, to keep moving and was marched on for over two miles. A halt was made at the railroad track and a discussion had as to whether to take the black criminal on to the scene of his crime, where the object of his lust could see him, or whether to hang him at once.  The negro was getting weak from the wound and there was a rumor that soldiers were on a special train sent out from Montgomery, so it was decided to hang him to a tree on the outside of the road. A dozen men took Johnson to the tree. Then an old man, probably 65 years old, climbed the tree and hauled away on the rope which was soon made fast. The order was given for everyone who wished to take a shot at the negro to line up and when the old man got out of the tree probably 150 shots were fired into his body. As far as can be learned the negro did not confess.  http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=86347 This newspaper article states he was marched “along half a mile south of town” One mile is 5280 feet divided by half is 2640 feet. I have marked a black line on this map from Pauly Jail to an area a half mile south of the Pauly Jail which is way past the train tracks area that was removed. You will see it is way past the City Cemetery, which is where the red arrow is pointing too. I do not see how he was hanged in the cemetery. He is not even buried in this cemetery either. He is buried in Beat 3. I am not sure where it is but it is not in the old City Cemetery just a few feet over from Pauly Jail. There have been many tales over the years of the happenings at the infamous Pauly Jail. It is our duty to search for the truth and report the evidence that we each find ourselves. We do not rely on the rumors of others. Webb Paranormal Group seeks to go beyond just listening to rumors by performing in-depth research using many techniques. Good research is just the beginning of dispelling such Discrepancies of the Evidence.

Columbia Manor-One of Alabama’s TOP 10 Haunted Places

A Haunted House in Columbia, Alabama Columbia Manor is a famous #haunted mansion that was built in 1864. Originally the manor was meant to be a college, #Columbia Institute; later becoming a hospital, which housed patients that were being quarantined due to having the physical ailment known as #Pellagra. Pellagra is an illness that is caused by a deficiency in nicotinic acid (tryptophan). Patients with Pellagra have an over-reliance for corn as a staple in their diet; they are also depicted with severe dermatitis, diarrhea, and mental disturbances such as dementia, which ultimately lead to their untimely death. #Columbia Manor later became a private residence; it is currently one of the #top ten haunted spots in Alabama. This article is going to be about what the mansion was like preceding the time it became a haunted mansion. Dying from Pellagra was not the only thing the residents of the Columbia Manor had to fear. There were several cases of death by suicide; one case of which was that of a Dr. John Yarborough, in which he committed suicide in the living room of the manor after his wife confronted him regarding an extramarital affair he had been having with a nurse. The nurse was also said to have hung herself from a chandelier that was in the vestibule located in the front entrance. It is believed that when there is an unwanted death, what remains behind is an unwanted presence. It has also been rumored that when the manor was sold and refurbished to its original Victorian splendor, a few of the previous residents and guests wanted to make others aware of their presence. These have become increasingly active with every renovation that is done. Many strange #paranormal events have occurred at the Columbia Manor, such as tools or other items disappearing and then mysteriously showing up in the very spot in which they disappeared from. There have also been indications of odd feelings, cold spots and even foreign scents. There has even been the unexplainable sound of footprints creeping up the old, staircase.
