The Pros and Cons of Ghost Hunting in the Winter

One can go out at any time to perform a paranormal investigation, but to go out during extreme heat or extreme cold, takes a little bit more dedication than your average ghost hunter. Even to the most seasoned of spectral seekers think twice when the temperature drops below that which can make you think, should I go out and do an EVP session, or cuddle up here next to the fire and perform some research. If you do choose to go out ghost hunting in the winter month, we have outlined a few pro’s and con’s to consider before you head out.

Revisiting and Remembering Lot 17 Burial Ground in Damascus, Ohio

In a quiet patch of land just south of U.S. Route 62 in Damascus lie the interred remains of many Quakers, people who lived and died at least 150 years ago. When members of Damascus Friends Church decided to expand their church building, the place, known as the Lot 17 Burying Ground, was directly in the path of that expansion.

Established in 1804, Ohio University in Athens, Ohio is believed to be one of the most haunted campuses in the country.  Furthermore, there is a dorm room on campus that has had so much paranormal activity, that it is now closed off from the students.   This is room 428 in Wilson Hall.

GYY: The Great Johnstown Flood of 1889

Homes of the Rebel Sharpshooter

On our recent visit to Gettysburg, the DSGT team visited Devil’s Den and the Slaughter Pen, both two different areas of the battlefield which are considered to be “Homes of the Rebel Sharpshooter”.   Is it possible that a soldier could die in two separate locations, and be photographed in both locations, in 1863?  (Of course we had to go there and get our picture taken as well…)

Gettysburg Address - Reenactment

One of the things the group did while in Gettysburg during the summer of 2015 was to reenact the reciting of the Gettysburg Address.  Of course, we all had our recorders going at the time to see if we stirred anything up, and what most people don’t know, the Gettysburg Address was actually given within the confines of an established cemetery, not the Soldiers’ National Cemetery.

The Angel of Gettysburg

When people talk about women of Gettysburg, the most prominent resident that comes to mind is that of Miss Virginia “Jennie” Wade; however, there is a story that is even as compelling than that of Miss Jenny, and that is the story of Elizabeth Masser Thorn.
