Sightings Third Visit (continued - page 2)
Report by: Debra Pickman
It was then decided that we would retire to the dining room to discuss some of the feelings that Peter was feeling, as well as the historical records that we and the researcher had uncovered. Peter reported that through his communication with the young spirit, he felt difficulty breathing, something with her lungs, perhaps pneumonia, and some pain in her foot. My research was looked at and from the list of Sallie’s that I had found, that had died during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Peter focused in on a Sallie Hall that died in 1905.
At some point, someone noticed dried blood on Tony's forehead up into his hairline. Because it was not fresh blood, we had no idea at what point he had been scrathed.
Later, we were all back on the second floor and as Peter stood in the doorway of the master bedroom, he reported feeling a lot of resistance. He was able to discern that there was a female presences who’s name began with the letter “B”, but that she didn’t want to communicate with him and didn’t want him there. He continued to move into the room and challenge this presence, making it clear that he wasn’t scared of her.
All this while Tony and I stood just behind him in the doorway as he entered the room. At one point, when peter demanded that the entity identify itself, I felt a breeze of cold air rush past me. Tony felt it seemingly go right through him. Afterward, and unbeknownst to the rest of us, Tony also began to feel a stinging sensation on his lower back.
Being familiar with the cold sensation and what usually followed, Tony retreated from the bedroom area while the rest of us and stood in the hallway as he spoke of the stinging he was feeling. The whole time Peter tried to calm him by telling him there was nothing to be frightened by and that he (Tony) was in control.
It was at this point that I lifted his shirt and found the letters “MC” largely scratched into the lower area of his back. While the camera man walked away from Peter to film the scratches on Tony’s back we all could hear what seemed to be the release of an electrical charge (similar to the static charge after walking across a carpet, only much louder) near Peter.
Peter continued to address the female presence in the master bedroom, while Tony and I stood a few feet away in the hall. At one point, I smelled a slight aroma of smoke, which quickly became more distinct. It seems that, at the same time, one of the crew members noticed that smoke was actually coming from behind Tony. At closer inspection we came to realize that his shirt was on fire.
What was apparently a small fire quickly subsided to a smoldering and then reduced to nothing at all as we patted at it in order to put it out. The hole that was left by this phenomena was the size of about four or five quarters arbitrarily arranged in a small area.
Thinking that we had all had a long day with significant experiences, it was decided to call it a day and wrap up with a round table sort of discussion with Peter at the dining room table. Much of what was talked about was confirmed by the work researcher did at the library earlier that day.
At this discussion, Peter revealed that he felt that three people had died in the house. He also picked up a medical sort of feeling about one of them. The research records confirmed that there was a physician, by the name of Charles, C Finney, (also listed as a surgeon) who lived in the house in 1903 and move out in 1906 (1 year after Sallie Hall died).
Earlier in the day, the television crew had taken Peter around the town, and he was reportedly drawn to an old cemetery and a grave whose headstone was so old and worn you couldn’t read the name. Nevertheless, the cemetery records revealed that, plot 1, 4th row west, was the burial plot of Sallie Isabelle Hall.
