The Ferry Plantation
Port City Paranormal visited the Plantation 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!
The PCP team arrived around 8pm, we turned on our voice recorders and
went in to set up. Two of the many 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 of 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, who was tried by water and found guilty of witchcraft in 1706!

Groups may also visit the museum or schedule a spirit tour for a small
donation ! Please contact Miss Teddy at SuprTeddy@aol.com.
Our team Doug, Jane, Tony, Jessica 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 small toys.
We split into two teams and explored, asking questions and photographing
the site. Some of the rooms felt welcoming, some empty but the Parlor had a
different feel, and it was clear that women were only tolerated in this area.
Some Evp sounded like a giant heart beat! We had interference
with video in the dining room but caught 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".
Our best EVP evidence was when Doug asked if I had a battery we heard "
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 document the setting of each room for reference, and while
photographing the Parent room, we noted something unusual in the
photograph. When enlarged, there is a reflection of the door behind where
Doug was standing. There is a light colored dress on a hanger on the door,
but there was no other mannequins or team members in the photograph. The
apparition appears to be about 5ft tall, wearing a dark dress with white
apron. Some see a small dog to her left. Sounds of puppy whines and yips
were heard and recorded more than once upstairs!
YES, We are going back !
Five teams from The Paranormal Resource Alliance have contributed their
EVP evidence to Mark Leary of CHAPS. The results of his analysis will be
presented at one of our monthly meetings when completed.
