What is the history of Sulphur Wells?
Any untimely or sudden deaths in the past?
Sounds like a very angry spirit resides there and still considers the place his/hers.

That's wonderful that you keep files on them! Hopefully you find them.

Oh my gosh, that poor woman. What a horrible thing to go through, for both yourself and her -- I hope that she has managed to find peace now.

This is from the 1st attack (same lady, different day) and occurred on the same grand staircase. As with the other, the claw marks drew beads of blood and were described as 'burning'. They did, in fact, gloss over as when skin is burned. Victim experienced violent vomiting immediately after.DSCI1560.JPG phone 327.jpg

Day...early evenings. No circumstances other than walking up the stairs. This is a broad staircase. No loose boards, nails, etc. And, as I said, I personally witnessed the 2nd attack. The 1st attack, I was in the House but didn't see. I responded to her screaming that something had grabbed her. I rolled up her sleeve and found this.

Was there any sense or indication before the attack of feeling threatened or that something was there with you all?...

All but two of us remained at the hour (one person had to remain until 7 am to return key to owner). My friend and I were sitting on the a bunk downstairs just talking. We were tired and had already finished up investigating. The jail was completely silent. Then a very loud woman's scream came from upstairs. We both jumped up off the cot. My heart was racing. There was absolutely no mistaking what was heard...and absolutely no reasonable explanation.

Was there a sense at times of someone watching you?...The scream would make me jump too lol...A house I used to live in almost 9 years ago had a lot of activity, for instance, shoes were moved from a bedroom with the door closed to the living room not but 10 minutes after I placed the shoes in there and closed the door...I was the only person in the house at the time...

Yes this was an ongoing situation that escalated in intensity every day...from November move-in until March. Events were witnessed by many people. Mediums came out. Clearings were done to no avail. Animals died. Family members became sick. Two were diagnosed with cancer and one has passed away. Family was forced to leave due to the haunting...losing money and leaving belongings.

The was the second family to have vacated the premises because of the haunting. The first tenant was an older man who lived there with his adult son and a few dogs. The adult son moved out because the house scared him. The older man stayed on until, one night, something frightened him so badly that he left in the middle of the night and refused to return even to get his things. He would not speak of what frightened him so. His son obtained as much of his belongings as he could but several old cars had to be left. Several months after this and after the 2nd family moved in, the son was able to return after the antique cars. It was learned that shortly after the old man fled in the night, he had later passed from a heart attack.

The grand piano pictured here in the parlor is a player piano that is original to the house. It is worth a great deal of money. It was bought new in the 1800's as a gift to Mr. Hemphill's daughter (can't confirm who it was bought for but it did belong to the Hemphill family). Curiously, the owner stated that when he came to inspect the house after the old man fled with his dogs, the piano's music scrolls were in a box in the basement cellar and the foot pedals to the piano were flung carelessly into the front yard162.JPG 10940594_767986703255410_863979344485809943_n.jpg . Why would someone put valuable music scrolls in a damp cellar or remove a player piano's foot pedals and cast them out of the house? :Sneaky:

Pictured are the antique cars abandoned by 1st tenant and the grand player piano in the front parlor.

Angry spirits of dead slave or slaves perhaps.
I wonder if a Negro family could live there undisturbed?

Difficult to say. The medium said there were many spirits there that were trapped in their memories...but, at times, became aware that they had passed on. She also said that some children had been treated badly and that any young children coming into the house were protected by these trapped sprits. She said that there was an evil presence there and that it moved about the house through the vents. Another medium stated that there was an evil female presence there who lived in the small room under the stairs. It was understood that these were two distinct entities but that the one in the vents was likely to have never been human and was drawing its power from the lady under the stairs. The slave spirits communicated to the first medium that because of all the suffering that had happened there, no one would ever be able live in that house happily.

I have the feeling that whatever happened with the older man fleeing with fear, the piano was involved in some way...For many people being in a creepily frightening place is one thing but add some randomly played music that shouldn't be playing and some people will snap lol...

The situation you described I have heard of happening before, about a negative type entity feeding off others, all involved get locked into a repetitive cycle and lose awareness of the situation or not aware of it from the very beginning and this entity freely able to do its work...

One of the clues which leads me to consider maybe the piano was the trigger that snapped the older man and his refusing to go back in that house...

When the 2nd family moved in, they were told that this antique vanity must remain in the bedroom it was in and could not be moved under any circumstance. When the owner was questioned 'why', he simply remarked 'under no circumstance' and would not answer any more questions about it. The family's young teen took up residence in this bedroom and would be subject to several horrific experiences. She became severely depressed in the short time she was there, complained of constant headaches, terrible nightmares and stayed in her bed. On one occasion she heard a woman forcibly speak her name in her ear. The girl ran out of the room. She became hysterical and proceeded to attack her mother when her mother could not calm her down. When she finally calmed, the girl refused to go back into her bedroom. The mother put her to bed in her (the mother's) bed and noticed red scratches on her back. The girl's bedroom door was shut and the knob tied to the nearby banister so that the door could not be opened. Several days later, the grandmother commented to the girl's mother that the girl should not be going in the room in the middle of the night. She stated that the grandfather had woke around 2 am to go to the restroom and had seen the girl cross the large hall from her mother's room to her bedroom, enter the room and shut the door behind her. The mother remarked that was not possible as she had been awake on the computer in her room at 2am and knew for a fact that her daughter had been in her (the mother's bed...the daughter could no longer sleep in her bedroom) bed sound asleep. Without doubt the grandfather, a large, stolid man not given to fantasy, had seen someone go into that room but it was not the girl.414.JPG 415.JPG 315.JPG

Curiously, this bedroom stayed infested with large wasps and flies. Even in the dead of winter and with the windows sealed, the windows, the window sills and the floor below always had a mass of slow moving or dying wasps and flies.

Interesting and not surprising.
However I believe any haunted home can be calmed and spirits there sent onward.
Some are just more difficult than others.
Many angry spirits will resort to using religion and the belief in the Devil as a means to frighten.
They will go to great lengths to drive away unwanted residence(s).
Communicating with a spirit in any haunted place does not require any psychic or medium.
Spirits can hear thoughts.
Thinking out loud will draw their attention and they will hear them.
As such they know if one is fearful or not.
Good communication goes a long way.
Even the most troubling ones will listen....eventually.

Have you ever gone to a haunted battlefield?

Boonesborough and Blue Licks are both sites, I believe. I meant to get to Perryville but hadn't yet. And there may be some I've forgotten. I've been to many places. I just recalled Old Millersburg Cemetery in thinking about your question. Plus, there were many smaller skirmishes spread throughout Kentucky from the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Many Native American hunting lands too.

Sounds like some good places....I was thinking about Gettysburg and Antietam. A lot of odd things happen in the dark at each one. There is one place of Antietam where it was always very cold to camp.

There were more than human spirits here. I don't know your belief in the afterlife (and who can say about these things for certain anyway) but I suspect that there are entities which are not human spirits. Call them demons, elementals, energies or whatever you wish...they are malevolent. I don't mean angry, I mean evil. I believe that we would be naive to think that human beings are the only conscious energies that exist or to believe that other conscious energies can not be anything except benevolent. Wendigo, akuma, daemon, demon, jinn, et al...names or religions matter little (except as noted a tool to terrorize)...malevolent entities exist. Ask for proof and I can give you none. Ask for supportive evidence and I will do my best. One thing is certain and self-evident though, many humans go through life not angry or reasonable with persistence but as truly depraved, sadistic beings without any remorse or empathy. Now, if we presume their conscious too survived corporal death...what then? They are still going to be sick depraved bastards in the afterlife.

Of course, this is just my opinion as well. :)

I went through a badly haunted home (supposedly) that had everything except physical attacks.
Moans were heard from the basement and objects were seen to levitate and be thrown across the room. As I was shown the home I carried a quartz crystal in my hand and thought aloud that ANY and ALL spirits are more than welcome to follow me to my residence and welcome to stay there. I repeated this throughout the home. I said to the elderly couple that since most sounds and activity originated from the basement, I would like to spend a night or two there. They protested a bit over concerns for my safety. We settled on it and It was planned for a week later.
They called 3 days later and asked what I had done. I was not sure what they meant and they said that since my visit ALL activity had ceased!!
You see the back part of this large home was being rented to college students. They had trouble keeping them due to the haunting activity.
I asked them to call me should any of it ever returns.
They asked what they owed me...I said nothing. My services are always free.
Never heard from them again and never had any activity at my home either.
