As
you know on May 25th there was a slight possibility that comet fragments
could have hit earth. Of course every year we are told this is the year of
the apocalypse. Being the founder of the organization I have a pretty
open-mind for the inevitable to occur. For millions of years planets have
been bombarded by asteroids, comets, space debris, super novas etc and
when such cataclysms occur its total annihilation. This has been proven
like when Jupiter was hit with a bunch of fragments a few years ago.
If a comet or asteroid hit the planet tsunamis would wipe out states
like Florida so I took my family up to northern Alabama where I was at a
much higher elevation and could bring all of you some haunted stories from
the Birmingham area which was at one time an all white town turned to all
blacks after the Civil War was lost. So the history to the area is
extremely old.
It has been a really crazy week with me driving for two out of the three
days and spent each day at different places. We did visit quite a few
places Day 1: Sloss Furnaces, Bass Cemetery Day 2: Birmingham Zoo, Oak
Hill Cemetery and Dixie Railroad Day 3: The Whistle Stop Museum. It was a
lot of fun just getting out of town. Some of the investigations were
during the day so you will not see many ghost pictures but then a few
investigations we got some really nice paranormal evidence.
But it was also a rough trip while at the hotel someone tried to attack
Ariel I had to chase the guy but we got the guy then two hours later some
person tried to pick a fight with me at the police station. Then I had
some pimp approach me at a gas station coming home from an investigation
at 3 different prostitutes. So the city is a very dangerous place and many
of the people around the town are honestly not all their. So if you are a
paranormal group and eventually plan to visit some of the historical sites
in Alabama be very very cautious. Ariel told me after one of our
investigations she said sheesh the cemetery is safer then the hotel we are
staying at lol. As a paranormal investigator over the years you start
to understand inner peace and serenity when it comes to dealing with the
unseen.
All in all it was a pretty nice get away I mean the end of the world
did not happen and I pulled off some damn good investigations. So we
left about 5am Wednesday Morning pulled in around the afternoon and our
investigation begins here.
Sloss
Furnaces
We drove down into downtown Birmingham where we entered into the
industrial section of the city. Off in the distance we could see the smoke
stack, towers, and dim lights surrounding the property. It was a gloomy
area lots of high grass, railroad tracks, run down buildings, cracked
sidewalks then the gates leading on into the area.
We seen right away 4 to 5 houses on the property. The first one bothered
me the most and the floors were so rotted we could not go inside. I sense
being watched here and it was cold. The next couple of structures did not
have that feeling. There was one restored home called the Duncan House
that one we could not peep our heads inside or walk around in.
We did walk into a field found some giant concrete slabs and a few large
pieces of construction machinery. We were having some fun with this
sitting on the old bulldozer which was out of commission. Then we walked
under this bridge which was so eerie with the dozens of concrete pillars
and pitch darkness. I did not bring my spotlight so we were sort of in a
bind.
I approached various gates leading into the factory when my batteries
strangely when dead. So I popped them out of camera and both of them fell
down onto the concrete. Then something came from behind and touched
Ariel's back stroking her. She got pretty startled and turned really
quick. I turned on my light only to find one battery on the ground
and trust me I spent about a good half hour looking on the concrete my
battery was taken like something did not want us their but then I pulled
out a bunch of new ones and was back in business.
We walked along the factory and water tower looking through the fence.
There was a brick building to our left all lit up about 3 stories high. It
almost felt like their were people working inside. We entered some gates
leading into the factory. I seen my first set of furnaces, metal stairs,
railings, and brick buildings surrounding us. We were in now and the whole
sense of comfort changed. They knew we were here the temperature
decreased, I heard noises, felt watched and things started to stir.
We came up to a tunnel and to our left was furnaces and halls into the
plant area while to our right was many brick structures with ladders
leading up. The tunnel went for a couple hundred feet and when we got
about halfway things became all the more clear as to why its haunted. It
was the site where many men died here its also has one ghost that shows
himself pretty often. I did my thing calmed the activity a little to make
it more comfortable for Ariel. I also gave her a knife and about 30
seconds later something grabbed her arm pushing it downward. Was this a
sign that the entities felt threatened or perhaps they were trying to tell
her it was not necessary since nobody was hiding in the factory. But she
said it felt more like a child grabbing her arm and pulling it.
We came out to per say what you would call a court yard perhaps where then
men took their lunches. I walked right under the water tower and near the
smoke stack. There was a brick building with windows overlooking the yard.
There was many chairs and tables out in the yard too for tours. There was
also a well of some kind and a few other things.
We walked out of the yard along the factory where there was many old
rusted pieces of machinery, cranes, construction equipment etc. It was
just a giant yard of debris which we eventually crossed as we
visited a brick building. I believe that building may have been the office
for the Sloss Furnaces.
The grounds were odd there was many pieces of art made out of iron like we
seen this one thing with spikes, then another made to look like a human
figure etc. I walked us down to the pond where pillars were built into it
probably the cooling area. I am not sure I will have to do further
research. But the grounds here were more relaxed. I was tempted to go into
the warehouse area but at this point we had already covered a lot of area
and it was nice a nice part of town. There were parts of the factory like
buildings, towers, platforms that were dimly lit while other parts were
pitch black.
We started our hike back we almost felt chased out. Ariel and I could
envision, feel and speculate that many of the ghost were following us. You
could feel them on ladders looking down, down long pitch black halls, up
above on platforms etc. It really became intense and after we hiked on out
of there we could smell flesh burning. Not to mention that in one area
near the factory I smelt some kind of perfume. Every half hour there also
seemed to be a train that went by screeching and squealing making it hard
to hear anything.
All in all we had a pretty intense investigation. I felt the same
mass of entities follow us all the way off the property. Its a pretty
creepy place just as I imagined it would be when reading about its dark
history. With that investigation conquered we celebrated our feat with a
relaxing haunted cemetery called Bass.
