"Grave Yard & Ghost Hunter

About me:

Hi this is Sonny, and this is a little bit about me. I am a GAVER HUNTER PHOTOGRAPHER & GHOST SCENE INVESTIGATORS .... I started tombstone rubbing in early to mid 1970s with my sister. But now I love driving through cemeteries with my camera. It is so relaxing,I could do this for hours and hours or when I run low on gas. I love walking though cemeteries big and small in the city or in the country out in the woods I have heard gun shots and backed right out of the cemetery, I have been ate up by jiggers, hunreds of ticks hanging on me,I have gotten lost for a short time in big cemeteries I have been stuck in the mud, rained on and There is nothing prettier on a spring day with song birds singing and dogwood and redbud trees blooming or on a hot beautiful sunny day or in the fall colors of the laves are awsome and in the snow it looks like a black and white photo. I am a volunteer photographer for findagrave.(@ www.findagrave.com) My cause and i are the founders of Ghost Sceane Investigators(GSI) Poltergeists, Spirits & Ghosts(OH MY!) Who you gonna call? ****************************************************** .......................................................................................................................................................................................................... William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 – February 14, 1891) was an American soldier, businessman, educator and author. He served as a General in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861–65), for which he received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of the "scorched earth" policies that he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate States.[1] Military historian Basil Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was "the first modern general".[2] Sherman served under General Ulysses S. Grant in 1862 and 1863 during the campaigns that led to the fall of the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River and culminated with the routing of the Confederate armies in the state of Tennessee. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the western theater of the war. He proceeded to lead his troops to the capture of the city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman's subsequent march through Georgia and the Carolinas further undermined the Confederacy's ability to continue fighting. He accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865. When Grant became president, Sherman succeeded him as Commanding General of the Army (1869–83). As such, he was responsible for the conduct of the Indian Wars in the western United States. He steadfastly refused to be drawn into politics and in 1875 published his Memoirs, one of the best-known firsthand accounts of the Civil War. ....................................................................................................................................................................................

WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY JEEP, I FLIP ON MY K-2 METER AND WHEN I GOT ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY FROM THIS STONE (BELOW) MY K-2 METER WHENT OFF BIG TIME FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, THAN IT STOPPED. I WALKED AWAY BACK TO MY JEEP, AND TURNED AROUND AND WALKED BACK TO THE STONE, NOTHING HAPPENED. I SAT THE K-2 ON THE STONE AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS, SAID MY NAME, 1 SPIKE IS YES 2 SPIKS IS NO (FOR K-2) AND IF THERE IS SOMEONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME, AND A LOT MORE AND GOT NOTHING. I KNOW THAT THE ONE BIG SPIKE I DID GET WAS ENOUGH TO TELL ME THERE WERE A LOT OF UNHAPPINESS THERE. NOW I AM GOING TO TELL YOU A HORRIBLE BUT TRUE STORY...................................................... .. THIS IS THE REMAINS OF 43 ADULTS AND 53 CHILDREN THEY WERE DUG UP FROM A OLD CEMETERY IN ST. LOUIS, TO MAKE THE CITY BIGGER. THEY PASSED A LAW IN THE MID 1800'S, WHEN THE CITY EXPANDED AND IF A CEMETERY BECOMES INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS THEY DUG UP ALL THE BODIES AND RE-LOCATE THEM INTO OTHER CEMETERIES, SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE 10 TO 30 DIFFRENT CEMETERIES. AND THAT WAS HARD ON THE FAMILIES, THEY HAD NO CARS JUST HORSES, BUGGIES AND DIRT ROADS. THAT WAS HARD ON THE LOVED ONES, PLUS IT WAS JUST AS BAD TO VISIT THEM ON HOT AND COULD DAYS. NOW LETS GET BACK TO THE TRUTH OF THE STORY. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STONE IT SAYS 96 BODIES ARE IN A MASS HOLE. AND IT TOOK 24 YEARS TO GET THEM INTO THERE FINAL RESTING PLACE, OR IS IT?. THAY DUG THEM UP IN 1848 AND BURIED THERE BONES IN A BIG MASS HOLE IN 1872. FOR SHAME ON THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS. THAT IS THE TRUTH BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN IN STONE.............. *******"BABIES OF MORRISON AND SARPY CRIBS."****** Captain James B. Eads 1820-1887 The Eads Bridge, completed in 1874, It was the engineering feat of the centurey and the first bridge of steel construction to span the Mississippi River, linkung east and west. This National Monument was but one of many accomplishments of this great engineer. During the Civil War, he built Iron-Clad gunboats at his iron foundries in Carondelet (Missouri). Gen Grant could not have accomplished the victory of Vicksburg without the help of eads boats.(Gen Grant was our Eighteenth President from 1869-1877) Eads also built a diving bell for salvaging boats submerged in the rivers.
