A LITTLE OF THIS AND A LITTLE OF THAT

JAMES AND I TOOK A TRIP TO WEST VIRGINIA FOR SOME PERSONNEL MATTER. JAMES, MADE A LIST OF THINGS THAT WE WOULD SEE ON THE WAY BACK. THERE WERE A LOT OF INTERSTING THINGS THAT WE STOPPED AND SEEN. ALTHOUGH, IT WAS ROUGH TRYING TO FIND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE ON OUR LIST. THE DIRECTIONS WERE NOT THE WELL GIVEN. BUT, WHAT WE MANGED TO FIND WHAT WE COULD.

THERE WERE THINGS FROM PLACES THAT HAD HISTERY AND PLACES THAT WERE SAID TO HAVE SOME KIND OF PARRONORMAL STORIES BEHIND THEM. IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME. I'D RATHER LEARN HISTERY THAT WAY THEN SIT IN A BORING CLASS ROOM. IT MADE IT FOR A TOTALLY EXCITING TRIP. THERE WAS ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO DANIEL BOONE AND MANY MORE.

I AM GOING TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT SOME PLACES THAT WE HAD VISITED. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY WHAT I HAVE WROTE FOR YOU TO READ.

I DO RECALL ONE INSTANCE WHERE WE HAD STOPPED AT A CEMETERY THAT HAS 3 VIRGIN MARYS' THAT WERE SAID THAT THEY HAD SPOKE TO PEOPLE IN THE PAST. WHILE WE WERE THERE OF COURSE WE HAD OUR RECORDERS GOING. I DO RECALL HEARING A VOICE THAT WAS AUDIUABLE. WE ARE STILL GOING THROUGH THE EVPS' THAT WE GOT GOT FROM A FEW PLACES

JAMES AND I STOPPED AT A PLACE THAT IS CALLED THE LINCOLN BOYHOOD NATIONAL MEMORIAL.


THIS PLACE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ALOT OF SNOW AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS OPEN WAS THE VISITOR CENTER. JAMES AND I WALKED THROUGH IT. THERE IS SO MUCH INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE THAT I DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN. FOR EXAMPLE THEY REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT ABRAHAM'S MOTHER LOOKED LIKE. SO WHAT THEY DID IS THIS. HIS MOTHER'S FAMILY PRETTY MUCH ALL HAD THE SAME CARISTRICS SO THEY USED THAT TO COME UP WITH A PICTURE OF WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE. THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF IT. HERE ARE SOME PICS OF ABRAHAM, HIS FATHER AND MOTHER.

FATHER AND MOTHER

ABRAHAM

ABRAHAM WAS BORN ON FEBUARY 12, 1809 TO THOMAS LINCOLN AND NANCY HANKS AND PASSED AWAY IN APRIL 15, 1865. ABRAHAM WAS A LAWYER AN ILLINOIS STATE LEGISTRATOR AND HE WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THEUNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THEN HE HAS A UNSUCESSFUL FOR RUNNING FOR SENATE TWICE. THEN IN 1860 ABRAHAM WAS THE FIRST REPUBLICAN PRESADENT. HE WAS PRESIDENT FROM MARCH 4, 1861 TO APRIL 15, 1865. LINCOLN HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY RANKED BY SCHOLORS AS ONE OF THE GREATEST U.S PRESIDENTS. IF YOU ARE GOING TO THE LINCOLN BOYHOOD HOME IN INDIANA YOU WOULD LIKE THIS PLACE TO. IT IS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE LINCOLN BOYHOOD HOME. IT IS CALLED COLONOL WILLIAMS JONES HOUSE SITE.

WILIAM JONES SERVED AS A WHIG REPRESENTATIVE IN THE INDIANA LEGISLATION FROM 1838 - 1841.MR JONES WAS AND HAD BEED CREDITED WITH STEERING MR LINCOLN TOWARD THE WHIG PARTY. HERE IS A PIC THAT WE TOOK. THIS PLACE SO BEAUTIFUL.

I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ALITTLE ABOUT A PLACE THAT IS CALLED THE VAILE MANSION.

MR.HARVEY VAIL WAS A UNIQUE KIND OF GENTLEMAN. HE WAS AS ENTREPRENUER, JOURNALIST, POLITICIAN, DIRT FARMER AMONG OTHER THINGS. HE HAD GOTTEN THE NAME " COLONEL VAILE" ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO RECORDS OR EVEIDANCE THAT IS SERVED IN ANY KIND OF MILITARY.

HARVEY MARRIED A WOMAN CALLED SOPHIA GRAHAM. AFTER THEY GOT MARRIED THEY MOVED TO KANSAS CITY WHERE THEY LIVED. THEY LATER MOVED TO INDEPENDANCE, MISSOURI.

HERE IS A PIC THAT WE TOOK BELOW OF THE VAILE MANSION.


HERE IS A LINK THAT SHOWS SOME INFORMATION ON THE VAILE MANSION.

THEN TROUBLES HAD ARRISED THERE WERE 2 TRIALS. IT WAS A TRIAL THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE POSTAL ISSUES. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A NEWS PAPER THAT STATES HIS INNOCENCE IT WAS HARD ONHIS WIFE. THEN A TRAGEDY SRTOKE. HIS WIFE MRS. VAIL HAD PASSED ON DURING THE SECOND TRIAL.. THERE ARE DIFFERANT VERSIONS OF HOW SHE PASSES BUT THE PAPERS PUBLISHED HER DEATH A SHE DIED OF CANCER. MR.VAILE DIED 5 YEARS LATER.

HERE IS LINK TO THE NEWS ARTICLE THAT IS ABOUT THE TRAILS.
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9501E3DE1430E433A25756C0A96E9C94639FD7CF
THE NEWS PAPER ARTICLE IS CALLED ONE OF THE BRADY RING.

THERE ARE DIFFERANT STORIES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THE VAILE MANSION WAS USED AFTER MR. AND MRS. VAILE HAD PASSED ON.

THE NEXT AND LAST ONE THAT I AM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT IS ONE THAT I WANT TO BACK AND GO THROUGH WITH A POSSABLE OVER NIGHT INVESTIGATION. IT IS CALL THE "OLD IDAHO PENITENTERY". THERE ARE RUMORS THAT LIGHTS COME ONE BY THEMSELVES, EXPECIALLY IN ONE ROOM WITH NO WAY THAT LIGHT COULD HAVE COME ON, THE HEAVY STEAL DOORS SLAM SHUT BY THEMSELVES, ETC. IT IS RUMOURED THAT A PARRONORMAL TEAM ALREADY HAS INVESTIGATED THE PENITENTERY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DEFENATELY WANT TO DO. SO IF THERE IS ANY PARRONORMAL TEAM THAT IS INTERESTED LET ME KNOW. IT IS NOT THAT LONG OF A TRIP. JAMES AND I ARE PLANNING TO GO. BUT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE CAN GET SOME FRIENDS TOGETHER FOR A OVER THE NIGHT INVESTIGATION.

THERE IS ROUMER THAT THERE IS A EMPLOYEE THAT HAS WITNESSED PARRONORMAL THINGS GOING ON IN THE PENITENTERY.

HERE IS A LINK TO THE PENITENTERY. SORRY OUR PICS ARE NOT THAT GREAT. SO HERE IS THE LINK.

THEY SAY THAT THERE WAS A INMATE THAT RECIEVED THE DEATH PENALTY FOR STABBING A WOMAN TO DEATH THAT HE MET AT THE BAR. HE HAD ALSO HAD HER BODY PARTS ON HIS BODY WHEN HE CAUGHT.

I AM GOIN TO TALK ABOUT A WALMART IN KENTUCKY. IT IS SAID TO BE HAUNTED. THE REASON IS THAT IN 2003 THERE WAS A SUIICED AND MURDER THERE. THEY SAY THAT THE ONE THAT COMMITTED SUICIDE WAS A MAN THAT WALKED INTO A ISLE AND SHOT HIMSELF. THE OTHER ONE WAS WHERE A MAN SHOT A WOMEN IN FRONT OF THE STORES DOORS. SUPPOSEDINGLY HE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS SEEING ANOTHER MAN.

IT IS SAID THAT YOU CAN FEEL A COLD RUCH RUN PASS YOU IN THE ISLE THAT THE MAN SHOTHIMSELF. THEN IT IS SAID THAT YOU CAN HEAR SOMEONE RUNNIONG AND SCREAMING AS FOR HELP AROUND THE FRONT DOORS.

HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE WALMART.


I WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT JAMES AND I LOOKED FOR WAVERLY HILLS. WE REA,LY WANTED TO GO THERE. COULD NOT FIND IT SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WE WILL DEFFIANTELY MAKE IT BACK TO THAT ONE!

THERE IS A OLD LIBRARY IN OWENSBORO, KY. IT IS SAID THAT A APPRITION OF A LITTLE BOY WITH HIGH RED KNEE SOCKS, A RED VEST AND VERY OLD SHOES WAS SEEN THERE. IT IS SAID THAT THE HE LOOKES LIKE HIS FASHION WAS EITHER IN THE 1920'S OR 1930'S.

HERE IS A PICTURE.


THIS PLACE WAS ALSO KNOWN AS SENETOR MCREERY HOME.


THIS WAS THE HOME SITE OF THOMAS CLAY MCCREERY. HE WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 12, 1816 NEAR OWENSBORO, KY AND PASSED ON IN JULY 10,1890. (INTERMENT IN ELMWOOD CEMETERY)

HE WAS ONE OF THE DAVIES COUNTY'S MOST DISTINGUISHED NATIVES, AN ACCOMPLISHED LAWYER, AND FARMER.

HE WAS A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR IN 1852,1856, AND 1860. HE WAS ALSO A UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM 1868-1871. HE WAS THEN ELECTED TO FILL AN UNEXPIRED TERM FROM 1873-1879.
