In my last post I began with a description of our recent trip to SAVANNAH, GA and BEAUFORT, SC, two of AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED CITIES. And I purposely left you with a "CLIFF-HANGER". Get ready, because I'll end THIS post with another one!
Originally I thought we would take a GHOST TOUR while in SAVANNAH, but because half of our group was skeptical, we nixed that plan.
On our own, we DID spend part of one morning at SAVANNAH'S FAMOUS BONAVENTURE CEMETERY. Our intent was to merely visit JOHNNY MERCER'S resting place (noted in "MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL") and wander around a bit.
I LOVE SCULPTURE, so I personally enjoy visiting cemeteries and have been lucky enough to take some of my most favorite photos there - particularly in Europe.

Here are some from BONAVENTURE -
From the MERCER plot, we all started walking down a path leading to the water - the WILMINGTON RIVER.
We later learned that near the end of this path, just before the river, had been a PLANTATION to the right with its SLAVE QUARTERS to the left. JOHN MULLRYNE and his son-in-law JOSIAH TATNALL together had purchased 600 acres of land there in 1771, where they built the BONAVENTURE PLANTATION - which in Italian means "GOOD FORTUNE".

We were all walking around taking photos. MARIANNE headed off alone toward the water (bearing right at the end of the MERCER path) to take a photo of the water thru the trees. Nothing special, just a peaceful shot with the eery SPANISH MOSS hanging from the trees.
We all headed back to the cars to drive back into town for homemade ice cream at Savannah's famed LEOPOLD'S.
MARIANNE looked back at the photos she had taken and in the one of the river, there is a PERSON IN THE PHOTO that WAS NOT THERE when she took the photo!!!
I immediately called a PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR in SAVANNAH and left a message about this PHENOMENON. I called a second one who was not available to meet us, but said we could email the photo to him for his reaction.
I then called a friend in NYC whose partner is a member of the PENNSYLVANIA PARANORMAL ASSOCIATION. She asked me to text them the photo. They got right back to me with some impressions.
MARIANNE had already texted the photo to her sister, who has PSYCHIC ABILITIES and her comments mimicked those of my friends.

SOOOOOOOO, it seems that MARIANNE captured a FEMALE SPIRIT in her iPhone photo. Her name is MARGARET and her last name starts with a "D". She is from the 1880's - 1890's, is dressed in Victorian era clothing and is holding a gold-plated or bronze WALKING STICK (definitely NOT a weapon).
From what we were told from each of these two psychics, she is merely taking her daily walk. Her walking stick was made especially for her - not for her protection from animals. Walking is one of the few times she feels at peace. She is sadly looking toward the grave of a loved one, not her own grave.
She apparently came from money - her family owned a business nearby. She was a very healthy person who suddenly got sick with the Spanish Flu or Pneumonia and died right after WWI.

I have always believed that we live in a MULTI-DIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE, and therefore ANYTHING is possible. Until now, I've never personally seen evidence of a ghost or spirit and didn't expect to on this trip.
We are going to pursue more information from the SAVANNAH PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS, so stay tuned..........
My NEXT POST will include photos with potential evidence of "SPIRIT ENERGY" in photos that I took in BEAUFORT......
