Subj: [ParanormalFlorida] Last Night's Investigation Report   Date: 4/24/2005 10:42:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time  From: AngelOfThyNight@aol.com   To: ParanormalBuffalo@yahoogroups.com,  paranormalghostsociety@yahoogroups.com,  Paranormalflorida@yahoogroups.com,  ParanormalGhostSociety@groups.msn.com   CC: parapackboy@hotmail.com,  rasolas@gmail.com,  pits_of_twisted_roots@yahoo.com   The Witches House We had to drive down a dark swampy road to get to the house but thanks to Amanda she gave me some pretty good directions to find this place. We parked outside this hilly driveway with these wood pillars and metal rope blocking it. We walked on up the driveway which was very overgrown until I seen a white wall. I knew this had to be it and when I walked on up to this house it was what it was a big twisted pile of metal roofing, wood frames, a few walls and debris. It looked like the house was blown to pieces by some force of nature and I spent a good deal of time climbing on the rubble. It was pretty rough climbing because some of the roofing wanted to give I remember stepping down on some metal roofing and it just gave way. But nothing was out of the ordinary here although their was alot of energy as Lee described it their was no discomfort or even feelings of being watched. We then walked out and followed the driveway and came back to the house again. I felt we were missing something so I backtracked and found a little shack hidden in the woods. The guys said it could be a chicken coop but to me it looked like maybe part of a laundry shack. Their was some beer bottles and spray paint around here. One of the vents on the outside of this structure looked blown out similar to the condition of the house debris. What happened here that was my question? I smelled a perfume in the general area but angel smelled a heavy urine odor maybe from an animal its hard to say but it really struck me as odd. I took off and went up a hill hoping to find other interesting structures in the woods but instead it became real cold and I captured some ectoplasm. It was not a very advanced manifestation just what it was some energy and perhaps my only Ecto shots of the evening. But everybody felt how cold it was in this area. Maybe at one time some other structure stood here its hard to say that was my impression. Lee said that if you were to look up the hill a certain way he could see how you could perceive how you could see a phantom house. We then went back to the rubble I felt like I was missing something but it was getting late roughly 5am so it was time to head on home we were all so tired from hiking miles in the woods. We fooled around at the entrance taking a few photos joking around as Lee stood up on one of the wood pillars.  Eventually we got into the car and went down the road and ended up back on that road we walked on. I drove fairly slow cause I seen alot of animals running around. Then Angel, Lee and Aaron got fairly excited because they seen a lady in a blue stress standing behind a guard rail near the swamp. I thought this was odd they said she was smoking and I caught her out of the corner of my eye but I did not actually see her it was more like I seen her with my third eye without having to look. I told the team I think it was a ghost but they were convinced this was a real person. But lets face it their was no houses just swampland and woods in this area of the road. I stopped and was getting ready to put it in reverse. I at first felt maybe this girl was hurt or left on the road I had no idea why a lady by herself would be on the side of the road like this.  But imagine going down a woodsy road in the middle of nowhere and just seeing a person standing their looking at your car that would kind of make you wonder. I did not stop but their are alot of stories of disappearances in this area especially the one about the husband and wife who broke down never to be found again. So was it a ghost? Was it the owner of the Witches House playing with us? Or was it just a crazy woman on the side of the road standing near the swamp? So definitely this added a chilling ending to a great night of investigations. In conclusion to the report we had many different types of activity between being followed, cold spots, strange noises, wild animals, giant bats, to even ghostly. Keep in mind what we do here is very serious alot of risk are involved when you are in the woods or swamp. Their are alot of entities and creatures out their that can physically hurt or kill you so in some ways we are fortunate to have such a solid team of investigators.  In some aspects you learn that being scared of what you do not know can hurt you more then help you. If you do not investigate what it is that is perhaps out their you may never understand what it is your dealing with. But as much fun as we have we also try and take a logical approach you learn to know what an animal sounds like, what a bird in a tree is, an owl hooting, a deer rustling around etc etc  Sometimes when you approach a place you have to look at it for what it is for example; the Fairchild Oak is just a very old tree just as a simple trail in the woods is a place where animals roam and you can hike through. What makes the difference with these places is that some of them are haunted or have occurrences we cannot explain.  Remember something safety comes in numbers and sure we get new investigators who are scared and quit. But remember that its not the paranormal that hurts people most of the time it is people that hurt people. With all rational decisions the paranormal has its rewards just as the Bulow Plantation and its woods had all kinds of activity or like the lady in the Blue Dress standing on the side of the road watching us drive by. These are experiences you never forget but with experiences comes a higher degree of knowledge which eliminates your fear.  I will be honest and be the first to tell you we did not capture many paranormal photos at these places. But they were about prologue investigations and follow-ups to further broaden our horizons about this area which is heavily covered by woods and three plantations which once stood on this land in the 1800s.  Peace Rick
