Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs, Bullock County, Alabama

Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs Pauly Jail is one of the oldest established correctional facilities in the state of #Alabama, the #Bullock County Jail, was erected in 1897. It was utilized as a film set in 2004.  Gothic Victorian Architecture The three-story red brick Victorian Gothic style of building is almost square in its design plan. Cement covers the foundation and the lower courses of the brick. The finished wall with rough masonry stone lintels located over the door and windows give the building a castle-like facade featuring four small projecting square brick turrets with witch’s hats (spiked metal caps) at the corners. The building has a metal-hipped roof. A single door is the entrance on the ground level which leads to the women’s area and the jailer’s office. Also you will find what is left of a kitchen that was add later to the old jail so the inmates could have hot meals. On the second floor is the bullpen, where the inmates shared a metal table and benches that served as their eating quarters. To the right of the table was a commode and an open shower for bathing. On the third level, a trap door is set in the floor. The door, which could be opened by pushing a lever, could have been used for hanging condemned prisoners in the early 1900s. It sits behind the 1871 Second Empire Style Bullock County Courthouse, adjacent to a beautiful landscaped park and gazebo. In 2000, a restoration of the jail was undertaken but funds soon ran out before it was completed. Pauly Jail Building Company, Inc. The #Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company was founded in 1856 by Mr. P. J. Pauly, a German-American born in 1832. The company was incorporated in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1885 and is the predecessor of the corporation as it presently exists. The company was the first to succeed after discovering the advantages of steel jail construction. #Pauly Jail in Union Springs http://www.unionspringsalabama.com/Pauly-Jail.html Watch this video to learn more about our Pauly Jail in #Union Springs in Bullock County, Alabama investigation that took place in November of 2016.

Investigation of the Dancing Ghost “Grancer” Harrison

On Saturday, October 22, 2016, Webb Paranormal Group assisted another local paranormal group, Rip Investigations, in researching and investigating the rumors told over the last 200 years about the Dancing Ghost of William “Grancer or Grand Sir” Harrison in the Harrison Cemetery in Kinston, Alabama. The cemetery is located in Kinston, AL on what was once the old home place of William Harrison who was affectionally called respectfully “Grand Sir”. Mr. Harrison was a prominent businessman and cotton farmer/planter in the early 1800s. He was married to Nancy Justice Harrison who lies next to him in the cemetery. The Harrison’s had ten children. Grancer Harrison was well known in the Kinston area for his horse races, Barbeques, and dances in a Dance Hall he had built primarily for his plantation. When he realized that his time was near to end, he began planning for his burial. His last wishes before he died was for his family to bury him dressed in his dancing clothes, clogging shoes, his fiddle in his hand while lying on his feather bed. He also wanted the dance parties to go on after he had departed this world. His tomb was to be located within earshot of his dance hall. Rumor has it that on a Saturday night during the midnight hour people can still hear the fiddle playing and a deep male voice call the dance out. Some have even reported to seeing the ghostly figure dancing and hearing the tapping of his shoes as he dances along. Another rumor was that he had slaves bury pots of gold near the dance hall or the grave. Vandals have tried and tried to find this but only succeeded in finding empty pots. One occasion the vandals blew up the tomb scattering Grancer Harrison’s bone fragments. Now are you wondering what the two paranormal research groups found? Some very interesting events happened while we were there. Around midnight, we decided to play some Scottish Fiddle music. What happened next was astounding. The K2 meters owned by both groups went off to the beat of the music. Then our cameraman, Chris Woods, noticed a strange light bouncing back and forth along the tomb itself. The cameraperson for RIP Investigations also moved in to get a clear shot of this phenomenon. There was an orb caught jumping from the side of the tomb too. When the music stopped then, the light stopped, when we changed the music to something slow the light slowed down, and when the music was fast, the light speeded up. Watch the video to judge for yourself. Is this the Ghost of William “Grancer/ Grand Sir” Harrison dancing to the fiddle music he loved so much?

Difference Between Ghost Hunting and Paranormal Investigations

Do you know the difference between #ghost hunting and #paranormal investigations? What exactly is #Ghost Hunting? What is Paranormal Investigation? The purpose of this blog is to give you a little insight into the difference between these two. Ghost Hunting Ghost hunting is the act of searching in a place that has no history of any sightings or any ghost. Then trying to find something using cameras, photos, etc. Paranormal Investigations Paranormal investigations are visiting a place that is known to be haunted for the purpose of recording new data (photos, audio, video, temperatures, etc.), taking notes, doing interviews, and gathering some other evidence to either prove or disprove a haunting or unusual activity. #Paranormal investigators can also include assisting the owners of the place in moving on with their lives. Perhaps by getting the spirits or ghost to leave the place for a better place, where they can be at rest. If this is what is wanted by the people living in the home or working in the business that is being investigated. However, some people just want to know that there is no danger to them and will just leave things alone. Assistance or Consulting Assistance can, also, mean directly assisting the owner with the situation, or putting the owner in contact with an experienced group or individuals who will help to resolve the situation. The Consulting can be something as easy as providing them with a little education on the procedure of the paranormal investigation, and what they can expect.
