"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle |

White Ghost Horse Legend In March of 2009, CSI got the opportunity to investigate a local "haunted" spot near our base of operations. Members Terry and Dwayne were very familiar with the spot, as they had investigated this area years ago, before forming CSI and without any equipment. This time they would bring in all of the gadgets, as well as new member Stacey. The crew would spend three separate nights investigating the area, over the next three weeks, then go through all the evidence to see what was captured. |
| The
claims and the stories- The
location is a former Revolutionary battle site, as well as
thought to be near former slave quarters. Artifacts found on the
property include ball and chains to help support this idea. Many claims of the
paranormal have been passed down through stories from the family
and friends that have had strange experiences over the years.
Some of these are as follows. A gentleman was cutting timber in the area, when his chainsaw shut off. He tried over and over to crank it, but it would not start. Then he suddenly heard a horse and someone or something charging towards him. He jumped into his vehicle, tried to close the door, but the door would not close. He was so frightened he drove out of the woods, with door still open. When he got to the highway, he got out, checked the chainsaw. It started on the first pull. In addition the door would now close with no problems. He vowed never to go back. Another person was cutting trees in the area, when his chainsaw likewise stopped running as he finished the last cut. He heard what he thought to be a horse whinny, and the tree he was trying to down then fell uphill. In the 1970's, another gentleman was hunting on the land near sunset, when he saw what appeared to be a white horse in the distance. The only problem with the horse was he was transparent. He glimpsed the horse briefly, and then it was gone. Lastly, in the early 90's, the founders of CSI Dwayne and Terry, were walking the property late one night when they were suddenly startled by a rustle in the woods. Both stopped, and tried to look into the dense wood line. Suddenly a horse was heard. It whinnied, then blew. The sounds came from less than 20 feet from their location. Immediately the two bore their flashlights on to the location, but nothing was seen. The two walked over to the source of the sounds, but no movement was heard, nor was the horse sighted. Other incidents included several sightings of a white, translucent horse, hearing a bugle call, feelings of being watched, and footsteps following people through the area, that would stop when the person would hear them and then stop. The Investigation- We broke the investigation down into three separate dates. One per week, for three weeks- 3-3-09, 3-12-09, and 3-19-09. Each investigation began at app 7:30 with a meeting and checking of equipment as well as reviews of the claims and analysis of what had been collected previously, then the actual investigations began at or around 9 pm, as sun set. Each investigation was wrapped up at 1am, and information was gathered for review. The Team- Dwayne Sims, Terry Thomas, Stacey Balckmon The Findings- Two of the the three nights were very eventful, while the third and final night was quiet. On the first two nights, we caught a few interesting pictures, recorded a strange EVP, and had a few personal experiences. (The pictures and EVP's are in the evidence section below.) The Evidence- Here is what we collected over the three day investigations.
