Background information & Investigation
notes
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INVESTIGATE THE BATTLEFIELD
WITHOUT A PERMIT FROM THE BATTLEFIELD MANAGEMENT.
G.H.O.S.T., Inc. received a
permit to conduct the investigation of the
battlefield. Permission for the permit had to be
approved all the way to Washington D.C. as the
battlefield is federal property and a National
Landmark. We highly discourage anyone from
attempting to investigate the battlefield without a
permit or to enter the park after closing.
As well known as the Chickamauga Battlefield is for
the Civil War battle which took place there (which
was the second bloodiest of the war), it is also
widely and popularly known for its legends of
paranormal activity as experienced by tourists and
locals alike. Numerous books, articles and web sites
include accounts of these experiences and theories
of their origin or cause, most of which is little
more then speculation. We investigated the Snodgrass
Hill area (cabin, rows of canons and field) as well
at Old Vitetto Rd. where many sightings of "Old
Green Eyes are reported.
INVESTIGATION NOTES
Arriving and meeting with our
assigned Ranger at 9:00 pm. We proceeded to the area
for which we were granted permission to investigate.
Although very cold (well below freezing) we setup
our equipment and divided into 4 teams. Each Team
was assigned an area and switched areas upon
rotations. Each Team was able to investigate each
designated area.
There were a couple personal
experiences worth mentioning (but not presented as
evidence). The experiences were the sighting of a
full body apparition at the end of the row of canons
next to the Snodgrass cabin. This was experiences by
3 of the 4 teams (teams did not know other teams had
same experience in same place). Also, 2 of the 4
teams sighted a what they described as a floating
green light. One of the teams attempted to follow
the light but was unable to keep up through the
brush and trees.
EVP's - There were 2 EVP's captured
during the investigation. The first was a Class "C"
EVP which was in an extremely low hertz frequency
and -85dB (both outside of human capability). We
could not make out what was being said but it sounds
to be 3 syllables. The second was a Class "A" EVP.
It was a very clear and loud (despite very low
frequency and -35 db) voice saying the name "Tim".
We had no one present with the name Tim or anything
similar sounding.
There was 1 anomalous EMF reading or
5.0+ near a monument. The source for the EMF reading
could not be found. This reading was received by 2
of the 4 teams during different rotations.
CONCLUSION
Since the only "evidence" we were
able to capture was the 2 EVP's, we cannot classify
our findings as "haunted". However, with those EVP's
being far beyond the voice capabilities of human
speech as well as the reported personal experiences,
we feel a conclusion of "Paranormal Activity is
Present" at the Chickamauga battlefield.
PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION
Our photographs, audio recordings and video footage
was lost in a hard drive failure. We are trying very
hard to recover the lost date. If we are able to, we
will post them here for all to see.
