Investigating A Private Residence

11/27/2013

Many people ask me why I don’t talk about the private investigations that we at Historic Haunts Investigations conduct.

The reason I don’t post them, write about, or talk about them often is because they are private and we respect our clients. I don’t want people judging them or showing up on their lawns looking for specters.

I believe in privacy for our clients unless they state otherwise about website blogs, or other writings. But, I would never put them in the books because people want to read about locations they can explore on their own in hopes of capturing or having their own paranormal encounter.

If you are in need of an investigation done at your home or business feel free to contact us at historichaunts@yahoo.com We do NOT charge in any way to investigate a location and we will respect your privacy.

Jamie Pearce's First Ghostly Encounter

11/25/2013

Many people as me what got me interested in the paranormal. Was it my first encounter with something? Well, yes it was and I will never forget it.

My first paranormal experience is always a fun one to share because it is what got me started on this grand adventure.

When I was about 5 years old my mom had tucked me in one night and I went right to sleep. A little while later, I woke up and there was an elderly transparent woman standing there looking down at me. She smiled very peacefully, knelt down and kissed me on the forehead, stood up, then vanished.

I wasn’t scared, it was all so calming but it made me wonder who she was, where she was from, and what else is out there that we don’t know about.

As I got older, I read more about ghosts and experiences others have had and then started into genealogy research. This was an eye opener when I learned that several of the women on my mom’s side of the family are sensitive or psychic.

I guess you could say that the paranormal runs in my blood.

Jamie Pearce Recalls Her Worst Post Cognitive Experience

11/19/2013

My mom and I decided to go antiquing and hit all the junk shops one day. We stopped at one we had never been to before. It was a very old building full of the smell of musty and dusty old antiques and all around junk. We started roaming through the building; it almost appeared to have been an old warehouse at one point and time. The building had a strange feel to it but we just chalked it up to being old and musty smelling. My mom decided to go off in one direction and I headed for the upstairs.

As I made my way up the steps and through the first room of the upper level I noticed all the vintage clothing, which I love! I headed in to the back room of the upstairs and immediately started looking at a clothes rack. I was only there for about 30 seconds or so when I started smelling this horrible stench, it smelt like blood. I started feeling very nauseous and as if something was behind me. I turned around and to my surprise there was a woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood around her head. She was obviously dead but her eyes were wide open and she was focused right on me. I could see her in complete detail. She was not transparent; she appeared to be in her 60s and looked as if she had been mugged. She had been bashed on the head and her handbag was old and was avocado green with a broken hand strap. She looked like she might have been mugged. She was wearing a cream colored sweater torn and tattered with a stripped dress.

I got so sick and immediately ran downstairs. As I started down the steps I got the tunnel effect feel and felt so sick. I went and found my mom. She took one look at me and said "What did you see? Your color is completely gone and you look like you’re going to be sick!" I just told her to go upstairs and see if she saw or felt anything.

She wanted me to go upstairs with her and I didn't want to. Finally I decided to face my fears and go back up there. Mom started through to the back room and I stopped at the door. I told her I wasn't going in there. She headed toward the back of the room and then over to the area where I saw the woman. There wasn't anyone else up there at either time and she shouted over to me that she didn't see or hear anything but her chest really hurt and felt very tight. She came back over to the doorway where I was standing and asked me what I saw. I pointed to the area and explained the entire event. She went back over there and was standing right next to where I saw the woman and asked if she was still laying over there. I stepped around the rack that was blocking my view and saw the woman still lying there. I felt like I was going to pass out and started crying. Mom came over trying to comfort me and all I wanted was out of there.

We left the building and when I got home I immediately started doing research trying to find the history of the building and turned up zilch. I even contacted the newspaper and still ended up with a goose egg. As soon as I get a chance I am going to head down to the court house and see if I can find the rest of the pieces to the puzzle.

One reason I believe my mom didn't see anything is because she is precognitive and I am post cognitive. That could have a lot to do with it. One thing about being post cognitive is, it isn't a very pleasant thing sometimes. You never know what you might see!

Jamie Pearce, Founder of Historic Haunts Investigations, Favorite Paranormal Encounter

11/18/2013

An occurrence that happens often happened to us while on a family vacation. We spent an afternoon on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. As we were driving over it started to pour something awful. We pulled in to an old house, well over 100 years old that is now a book and antique shop. As we went up to the porch the rain started coming down harder and the thunder and lightning got even worse. As we started roaming from room to room looking at all the cool stuff we learned that at one time was a sanatorium.

As we left the antique/book shop we decided to eat at a local restaurant called Blackbeard's which was right on the water. As we were having dinner, another storm rumbled through. Finally the skies started to clear and we decided to walk the beach. My mom and I were looking out at the water and saw what appeared to be an old pirate style ship way off the coast. We could clearly see 3 large masts and it was moving at a slow pace. We turned to tell my father and when we turned back around to look at the ship, it had totally vanished!! There was no way it could have just sailed out of sight. We even got in the car and drove around the island, with no ships to be seen anywhere.

We headed back to the car and decided to play tourist and head for some of the shops. As we looked through one of the shops we heard him talking about what the storms always bring to the island. I went over to him and asked if he had ever heard anyone report a ghost ship? He asked me what we had seen and I recounted the entire story and as I finished it up he took me over to some matted photos they had for sale and said, "Did it look like this?" I said, "Holy crap that is it!" He started telling us that after every storm many people report seeing a ghost ship off the coast in the area we saw it in. He said apparently in the mid 1800s a three masted ship lost its way during a horrible storm and wrecked.

Historic Haunts Investigates the Plaza Resort & Spa

11/11/2013

Historic Haunts Investigations had the honor to investigate the Plaza Resort and Spa in Daytona on November 9th, 2013 and was welcomed by the staff and some of the resident ghosts.

We even stayed overnight in Room #1111 and it was very active. Security guard, Craig Lew, told us that a man several years ago jumped from the balcony of our room and he still haunts the room. He even went on to say that is the only place in the entire hotel he gets creeped out. A few weeks ago, a guest actually checked out because he felt so sick and heard someone tell him to go to the balcony and jump.

We also spoke with Wilson and Craig both have experienced the little girl known as Penelope. She is often seen in different parts of the hotel, tugs people's pant legs, and giggles. One point during our interviews when Craig said that she followed him home one night the K2 EMF meter lit up.

The entire staff shared their amazing paranormal encounters that haunt these halls and the details of their stories and our investigation will be in Jamie Roush Pearce’s 3rd book, Historic Haunts of the South II. We hope to get back again for another investigation.

If you want to try and experience your own paranormal phenomenon at the resort you may book your room at www.plazaresortandspa.com or do an investigative tour with American Ghost Adventures. You may book one of their tours through their site www.americanghostadventures.com

Historic Haunts Takes the Haunted St. Augustine Tour

11/11/2013

The Haunted St. Augustine Tour brought to you by GhoSt Augustine starts out with being issued a KII EMF Meter and a temperature gun while on the tour. You hear some of the history of the city and of different locations from some of St. Augustine’s most haunted locations.

After stopped at several locations to hear the tales and explore a bit, you head towards the very impressive Castillo de San Marcos (which is featured in Jamie Roush Pearce’s first book, Historic Haunts Florida) and see the beautiful view of the bay and make a lap around the fort in hopes of experiencing something paranormal. When you leave the fort grounds you head to the most intriguing part of the tour, Wolf’s Museum of Mystery.

Inside this haunted building you see a collection of Ouija Boards from the last century, a Bible allegedly owned by John Wayne Gacey, and so many other intriguing artifacts. Spirits often attach themselves to objects so there is no telling what may be attached to what.

If you want even more paranormal experiences, you can upgrade to the Total Paranormal Tour which includes a haunted hearse ride to see even more of St. Augustine’s Historic Haunts.
