I had an absolutely wonderful visit with Brian and Angel yesterday. Brian is from Nevada and had never seen the Lawson Family grave or Browder Cemetery so when he came to visit us yesterday we took him to see the famous Browder Cemetery and Lawson family tombstone. Another couple came to the cemetery while we were there and I sold the guy our Documentary!!! We also took Brian to visit Arthur Lawson's house, the ruins of the Old Germanton School and the old Germanton Bank building. We then went to Old Salem and had lunch at Salem Tavern. We had the best time!!!! While we were at Arthur Lawson's house both Brian and Angel had a very unusual and eerie thing happen to them. Brian heard someone whisper in his ear and Angel felt something touch her hair. I'll let them tell you more about it. Brian will not be in the forum until next week as he is in a place where there is no internet connection. We took a ton of really great photos. I really enjoyed meeting you Brian, you are a wonderful person.

That is wonderful Maria that you and Angel could meet Brian. It sounds like all of you had a great time. Looking forward to seeing the photos.

It IS wonderful that we got to meet Brian cuz it turns out he's a great person!! You never know about people you meet from the internet, but fortunately Brian turned out to be a genuinely nice person! It was a great pleasure meeting you Brian!! And thank you again for the wonderful lunch!
As for the eerie experience Maria mentioned above, I don't fully believe in ghosts, as I have to see it to believe it, and I've never had a major experience with the paranormal (although those footsteps coming straight at me at the lunatic asylum I explored overnight could only be described as paranormal..not to mention they scared the crap out of me!) I definitely try to keep an open mind. I'll let ya'll be the judge...
I was standing in front of the house that Arthur built (and which is on the property that was once owned by Charlie) and I felt something similar to what a branch feels like when it grabs your hair (I have really long hair). I immediately looked behind me to get my hair out of the branch and there were no branches within reach of me - even if I stretched out my arms. Next immediate thought.....bug! So I frantically started raking my fingers through my hair to get it out (I dislike bugs..especially in my hair!) and I didn't feel any bug. That's not to say it wasn't a bug, however it would'of had to have been a large bug for me to feel it so well and I never heard a buzz or saw a bug. I didn't even mention it until Brian said he thought he heard a whisper in his ear. That got me to thinking about whatever touched my hair and I told them about it then. Now we were outside and it most definitely could have been a bug - it's just strange that I didn't hear it or feel it with my frantically raking fingers. And it felt stronger than a bug, that's why I thought "branch" at first cuz a branch grabs your hair and lifts it and that's what this felt like.
I don't know. It was definitely interesting!! I'd love to go back out there and see if it happens again!!

Brian and I went to check out an old tobacco barn sitting on the side of the road that leads directly to the Browder cemetery. Brian opened the door to it and jumped when he saw a figure leaning against a table inside the barn. Turned out to be an old scarecrow dressed in cargo pants!!!!!!!!!!! We took some great photos of it. At least we know now what the tobacco barn where Carrie and Maybell were left inside looks like, assuming all of those tobacco barns back then looked alike.

Sounds like you guys had an awesome day!! Wished I could have been there too. That is so scary Angel and Brian. I wonder if Maria radiates a special energy? I had never had an experience like the one I had at the abandoned house either and Maria was with us there too.......that is so creepy I wonder who it was that whispered in Brian's ear? ?

That door tried to close on me in that old abandoned house and I still don't know what that was that I captured on my camera in that room with the rocking chairs. Other than that though I felt no vibes at either place I have gone to recently.

Maybe you just radiate the energy to others Maria???

Perhaps so. Maybe I should just go by myself to places like that and see if anything happens. Or perhaps my years of experiencing super natural phenomena have petered out. The years I experienced premonitions, residual spirits, etc. were strongest from age 15 to age 40.

Who would pick you up and put you on the porch squirrel woman? And who would hear you screaming in the house when the door opens by itself.....hehehe

Now that would be something to see, Maria. Most people would probably run if they saw it.
