Talking to Ben
As mentioned in my previous post we were able to use the "ghost box" while in Gettysburg with some results.
Of course being a true ghost hunter I wanted to wait until night to get out on the battlefield and choose one of my favorite spots. Sach Bridge
Sach Bridge ws used by the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to retreat into Virginia after the battle. It has also been report that three Confederate hangings took place from the bridge rafters. The area around the bridge was also used as a field hosptial and rumor has it that unclaimed bodies are still buried in the woods there.
We arried early just before dark and took a look around
As dark approched we met up with a friend of mine from Facebook who lived in town. Mary had been investigation the area often and we enjoyed meeing her. It was also nice to have a third person along. This way we felt like if three of us heard the same thing on the ghost box that it wasnt our imagination
As we began walking around we took some photos
We also started asking questions.
First we ask if we could get a name...crackle...gibberish, then clearly we heard BEN
How old are you ben. 22 came the answer
Where are you from Ben,, more static..then JOHNNY REB, MA'AM
We ask things like are you trapped here YES
Do you have any brothers or sisters..SISTER
I ask do you know what year this is? We got the number FOUR, which confused me, because the battle was in 1863, I then said "Ben the battle was July 1863" I got answer FOUR, it then cccured to me that the Confederates crossed the bridge JULY FOUR,
We then ask..Ben are you tired, do you want us to go..NO WALK
so we walked..I wasnt about to argue with a ghost ha ha.
We went to the other side of the bridge where we took more photos, walked around ask a few questions. Just look how big this orb is between my husband and I in this photo that Mary took of us.
Then once again ask. Do we need to go. YES we got this time.
We thanked BEN for talking to us..Told him to stay there (you should always do this so they dont follow you home) and left. We went back into the bridge itself and took some more photos. Here are some of them
All in all it turned out to be an interesting night, and I am looking forward to going back to this location again.

Wow, Patty! That is such a cool experience!! Thank you for sharing it!! Very exciting. And good for you for knowing to protect yourself from attachments. (hands full just now ... typing with just one hand; apologies for not writing more).
Cheers,

Wow, you got incredible results!! "Johnny Reb, Ma'am" give me a touch of the chills! Have to confess, I had a dream a while back that while standing in Sach bridge it completely collapsed. I was too nervous to walk through last visit to Gettysburg.
Hey Patty. I'm going to do blogs too but I've a different sight. I'll let you know when I get a round tuit. lol The top photo of your 'orb' is a reflection of a car. Great photos though. ttyl

Patty were those answers vocalized or in print? How freaking cool! Dangit I just have to go back this summer.
The answers were spoken via the radio...We ask a question while the radio was scanning..Then a word would clear speak out amoung the interferance and stations scanning
The voice always sounded the same that spoke
Ooooo! This is neat to see the night pics. And you on that covered bridge...LOVE IT! Such atmosphere!
Interesting read. Makes me want to take my Frank's Box out with me next time.
what a cool bridge! I'm pretty sure we have a ghost upstairs. Seriously. Everyone thinks I"m nuts when I say that. It took me awhile, but once I finally experienced it, I believed. FREAKY!
Beautiful photos ♥ Thanks for sharing your 'ghosting...
