We went there today Sunday July 7, 2013. It was very enjoyable and were all over the place there. Our first stop was the visitor center
where we stretched our legs after an hour drive. We disembarked got something to drink, used the amenities and took pictures. Our next stop was George Scruggs old cabin where we did EVPs and photographs in between visitors popping in and around. We stayed there for a couple hours then moved on to the battlefield itself where there were benches here and there to rest. We spent an hour and a half there, we heard cannon fire during the investigation it startled us and figured it was a re-enactment going on. We left there and went back to the visitors center to ask about the cannon firing and was told they didn't have a live firing cannon on site. when we explained what we heard they tried to brush it off as fireworks. This was no firework it was louder than the test pattern the cities put off to test wind direction and nobody seem to hear it but us, nobody even flinched that was on the trails walking. We did catch it on an EVP and you can tell it sounds like a cannon. some of the other EVPs were louder and clearer than anyplace we've been so far.It was Brittanees turn to be drained of energy this time.We made our way back to the cabin for another session and something drained the battery on my camera completely, but not before we got some more photographs and EVP's. We didn't get much as far as visual, a few things but the EVPs are everywhere on the recordings. As soon as we listen to all of the EVPs we will post them.

The EVPs so far here have blown my doors off, on the battlefield we caught sounds of a manual typewriter with the carriage being slid across to start a new line, there was one spirit that said I'm Bill. We heard a growl similar to that of a cougar or Bobcat just before draining Brittanee's energy. there was the EVP of a cannon being fired and confirmed by park rangers later there is no live fire cannons there and when it happened no one else seem to hear it that were near by. Towards the end of the EVP sessions battle sounds could be heard in the distance. This place was very active for EVPs and not so much in visual, a few mists were captured on print and the last photo shows a pulling a cart, a soldier against the tree and a soldier running up the battlefield.
