Kings Mountain

March 30th, 2013

There is nothing like an old picture of family member. A month or so ago two ladies came on my tour and one, the one who's sensitive to this stuff, had a great story from Kings Mountain. Her friends' grandmother was on her death bed and the family had all come to keep an eye on her. Well when it was this woman's turn, she sat in the room and saw a man at the foot of the grandmother's bed. Long old fashioned coat, little spectacles. She kept watch anyway.

When she was able to bring it up to her friend's mother, the woman ran and got an old photo of the grandmother's husband who'd died a few years before. The photo was not him as an old man but in his prime, looking like a fine country doctor.

The photo exactly matched the man she's seen at the foot of the bed.

Making Amends

March 30, 2013

Having issues with the dead is often considered explanation for a haunting. A month or so back, two men from Chattanooga, TN came on my tour and one shared a ghost story with me. Growing up in Delaware he had seen his grandfather four or more times in his room. This was over the course of several years. His grandfather would sit at the foot of his bed, or on top of his chest of drawers. As a child he remembered his grandfather's comb over, a telltale feature of the old man.

When the boy grew up he finally decided to make amends with his grandfather at his grave site. He hasn't seen him since that visit.
