Fort Fisher, N.C.  
T      Fort Fisher was  one of the last state owned
battlefields in North Carolina open to paranormal
investigators. This site has now been closed to night  
visits due to the actions of a very small number of
thrill seekers and vandals who were unable to
respect the site.
 This has  prompted Port City  Paranormal   to
promote our "Investigate the investigator" program.   
  In short we encourage everyone to ask for
references before allowing anyone into your home or
property! Know who you're gonna call!

              Thanks, Port City  Paranormal
      Port City Paranormal was able to investigate the Ft.
Fisher Battlefield site two times in 2008.
   The  battlefield is well kept and  the local history is extensive.    
 
      
  We documented the  grounds with still photos before that evening
and we carried all the usual  equipment. I was filming with a Sony Ir
video camera, and  followed the  team past the museum to the river.   
   Faintly, we could hear the loading of a container vessel across the
river, the sound could  be mistaken for cannon fire! While filming on the
board walk,  I felt something coming up  behind me, I quickened my
step to catch up with the team and felt something surround and move
through me. That left me shaken. The boys noted a severe chill behind
me and thought they heard a voice. The same experience happened on
the second by another team member.

  
The   trees to the south of the main sally port seemed  to be the  
home of black shadows,  witnessed on both our visits. While reviewing
our video evidence we noted a white form spinning from the trees and
mover over  our heads as we filmed.  The parade ground  also proved
to be active during both visits.  Around 3 am Doug thought he saw two
of us moving from the barracks towards Shepard's battery. He then
realised the two figures  were dressed in grey and were only visible
from the waist up. Before he could speak, they vanished. On the
second vigil Shelia noticed what she thought to be a drunk or injured
man in the same area. The  same apparition was also witnessed by
Doug from a different location before vanishing.
   No EVP evidence was obtained due to sounds of the ocean and a brisk breeze.
No EMF spikes were noted, and our team was unable to document  the shadows or
the ghost like apparitions.
Every one on the team who investigated, had a personal experience  during  one or
both investigations.
We had planned to return with more equipment, static Ir  cameras  and a larger team.
      
Fort Fisher  is a  very active site and will need several extensive investigations to
completely document  and photograph activity
