Do you see anything?
Some of group can see shapes amongst orbs. Are they paranormal or are they dew spots, sun spots or just an abnormalty?

If you haven't read the blog entry regarding our "startle" the night of the investigation,  you might want to read this: http://rivertownparanormalsociety.net/blog/?p=52 Than come back here to listen to the following clip, which was recorded during this same time frame.
 
   
 
     

This is a shortened clip from the above. What do you hear? Let us know.
*It may be interesting to our readers that this audio recordering was captured on a digital recorder some hundred feet away.
 
 
 
 
This evp was picked up on the digital audio recorder left at the Townsend-Gray house.  It's faint but we believe we picked up "Captain", a named used with admiration for Colonel David Moore.

      The myth of the Hell Hound or the Black Dogs of Hell are well known. They surrounded British, Scottish and Welsh history since the 1500's. The myths themselves crossed the mighty pond and have existed in the US almost since the time of the Puritans.  Were we actually visited by the black dogs last September, we hope not for the stories are not favorable for ones who do meet up with them. Yet, we feel this is very important to note. The Black Dogs of Hell have often been associated with the Underworld. Their sitings have been often recorded near graveyards, near or on places that act like boundaries, like bridges, roads and old footpaths. They are also recorded as being seen near battlefields. These areas all fit the bill that night where we were investigating and the animals themselves seemed ghostlike wih no sounds what so ever.  
 
 
                
 
               This cropped photo is to show the distance from the Gray          home (far right) and the church (to the right of the middle pine tree). The audio clip to the left of this page was captured at the church.

            This clip isn't paranormal, but it is interesting. Listen to the conversation and   what is said, than listen closely to the response from the animals around. This happens just before the "startle" incident.           
 
 
 
         
           
 
 
 
 
           Groups response to the Creatures of the night.
This clip is the actual footage of what our team experienced  when the black dogs approached our group from behind us and from the direction of Grandpa's house. We did not capture the dogs on video but we did capture our responses.
