On Saturday, December 5th, I was invited to investigate the Legacy Museum on Main (LaGrange, GA) with Georgia Paranormal Investigations, https://georgiaparanormalinvestigations.com/. I arrived the day before in order to give myself time to settle in–it’s a 6 hour drive from Florida–and visit the LaGrange Art Museum, https://lagrangeartmuseum.org/. Gee, I had a blast, and the investigation was very successful.

First, let me gush about the art museum. The museum is housed in the former jail. The sheriff and his family resided on the first floor separated from the male inmates. The second floor housed the females, children, and mentally unstable. There were at least 4 hangings conducted inside the jail. You wouldn’t know it from walking around. The interior is modern and appealing. Further, the current exhibit is from the permanent collection. There are excellent pieces of artwork on display. There’s an Annie Greene yarn artwork piece (https://anniegreene.com/). A couple of Reverend Howard Finster pieces (http://www.finster.com/). And a few pieces from Andy Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians series (1986), https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-andy-warhol-enthralled-wild-west. Admission is FREE! If you go, please consider making a donation. For $10, you get a button. I’m still wearing mine on my purse.

Instead of writing about the investigation, I’m going to link to reporter Shiann Sivell’s article, https://www.lagrangenews.com/2021/12/08/do-you-believe-in-ghosts-paranormal-team-finds-possible-hints-of-spiritual-activity-at-legacy-museum/?fbclid=IwAR01-vJM4MkzFPp2jWOG-dnUp8Z5XydmQ0zB1CfxYMrsgqSoUwFfCEdkEqA.

You can watch one of the several pieces of evidence that was gathered here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV-BVHOapaY.

And be sure to check out the clips uploaded to the Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaParanormalInvestigations. While you’re there, click “like” to follow. The group has some incredible investigations scheduled for 2022.

There was a lesson in our investigation: Never judge a location before watching and listening to the evidence. One might have thought the location was quiet Saturday night. It wasn’t. All in a good, non demonic way.

Some images I took from the museum. I am such a museum nerd!

Just like the art museum, the history museum is a gem! If you get the chance, stop in and visit. Make sure to have your digital recorder on!

Haunted Georgia: Henry Greene Cole House, Marietta, Georgia

Henry Greene Cole was a Union sympathizer living in the Confederate South. He was also wealthy. He built a small house on Washington Avenue just outside the Marietta Square. It is told that his father-in-law urged General Sherman not to burn the Fletcher House Hotel because of his relation to Cole. Cole donated the land adjacent to his home for the Union National Cemetery, where over 10,000 Union soldiers are buried. Cole endeavored to build a larger home a block down from his small house. Although he died before it was completed, his family resided in the grand house for many years. Today, the house is a commercial building; however, it still boasts the architectural elements of a Georgian home.

It is also haunted. A local resident whose grandparents lived down the street spoke of walking past the house and seeing a woman in the upper left-hand corner. She saw this girl many times over the years. For several decades, the house was home to several law firms. Attorneys and their employees reported feeling cold drafts and hearing voices. One attorney experienced her clock running backwards. People walking past claim to see curtains shifting and lights turning on and off at night. The house sits directly across from the National Cemetery.
