The Ferry Plantation House
EVP PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Port City Paranormal has returned to investigate the Ferry
House plantation five times since our first vigil.  The
plantation house is not only the source of award winning EVP
and Photographic evidence, but  the continues to amaze us
with it's many talkative spirits.
PCP and five other paranormal teams have contributed to
The Ferry Plantation EVP Project headed by Dr Mark Leary
in 2009. Final results will be posted when the project is
completed.

Port City Paranormal first visited the Plantation house and grounds on
February 21, 2009, for a private investigation.  People call the house
"chatty",  we think that is an understatement! Although our investigation
was months ago we are still  listening to evidence!  The Ferry Plantation
is not only the "House of Many Voices", it is also  the home of many spirits
and we have the evidence
to prove it!

As the PCP team arrived, we turned on our  voice recorders and went in
to set up.  Volunteers, walked us through the plantation house and told us
some of the stories of the home and surrounding areas.

This land was the home to native Americans as early as the 1500's and
was named for the ferry that ran the Lynnhaven waterway in 1642. The
Princess Anne Courthouse, built near by was the location of the trial of
Grace Sherwood [The witch of Pungo], who was tried by water and found
guilty of witchcraft in 1706!

Our team Doug, Jane, Tony, Jess and Rebecca set up quickly and went
to work. Doug and Tony set up 4 IR cameras with sound, we had two
Sony video recorders, 4 still cameras, 6 audio recorders, EMF meters
digital thermometers and  various other equipment.
Split into two teams to explore,  we began asking questions and
photographing the site. Some of the rooms felt welcoming, some empty
but the Best Parlor had a totally different feel. Colder than other rooms, it
felt that women were only tolerated in this area.  An EVP recorded  in the
Parlor sounded like a giant heart beat!  We had static interference with
video in the dining room but were able to record sounds of a little girl
giggling. There were the usual loud bumps,crashes, whispering, humming
and whistling, that may have been residual events.
Some questions were answered with "uhuhhuh" and when asked to "tell
us your name", we were quite plainly told "NO".  I was startled when I felt
a prodding touch in the small of my back.

Our best  EVP evidence came when Doug asked if I had a battery. The
recorded response was," JOHNNY GOT IT".  On video, we recorded  one
of many ornaments begin to swing while in the upstairs bedrooms, along
with the response" Yes, I do ".  The best evidence of spirit activity that
evening was caught quite by accident on Doug's Cannon camera.
We routinely photo-document areas we investigate for later reference.
While photographing the Parent room ( Green Room), we noted
something unusual in the photograph. When enlarged, the door and the
light colored dress hanging on it is clearly visible.  An apparition appears
to be about 5ft tall, wearing a  dark dress with white apron, she was
apparently standing between the camera and window as Doug took the
photo. Some see a small dog to her left.   Because we did photograph the
entire room we were able to rule out the possibility of a mannequin being
mistaken as the source, as none were dressed in the same fashion as the
aspiration.
