The Fireplace
My mom and I are really in tuned with after life. My grand mom whom died 2 years ago saw an angel right at her brothers crib when he died 3 days after birth. Also the the my great-grandfather died (in PENN.) and my mom  was in Ill. she knew the min. he died as she felt him put his arm around her while she was standing on the porch. Yesterday I walked out to the fireplace (old slaves quarter) in my backyard, I always feel as I am intruding into someone's house even though nothing is there. I felt like I should look at the trees and saw  that the trees had grown into the trees like it, like it was their property where their house use to stand. My husband keeps asking me why are all the blinds closed in the back of the house and I tell him all the time someone keeps watching me, and of course he tells me that if anyone is watching me they would have to be 6 and a half feet tall. But I know their is someone watching me but not of this world someone in the past. When I was on the porch looking at the fireplace I get the saddest feeling. I heard from allot of people here in Tenn. that slaves were usually buried by their houses. Something else that I wanted you to know when I was 5 we lived in Danville, Ill. on Walnut street in an old farm house if you went down in the basement it had a dirt floor, and a coal furnace one night as I was sleeping and I felt as someone was watching me and there was ,a spirit I ran as fast as I could with this spirit chasing me into my parents bedroom when my mom woke up she saw it to and put me under the covers. Finally it when away for the time being. 
  
There have been many stories of facts past down through my family. I could go on and on. But I do know that there are spirits that walk the earth that have died a terrible death or some that don't know that they are dead or some other reason but I do know that they are here and we should expect that and know that they are here. I have always heard some people say there are no such thing but what about the thing you see or hear. I think that your page is great. I do want to know about the old fireplace that use to be a slave quarters, should I try to take pictures of it put a tape recorder by it and start taping, my son every time he goes by the fireplace he gets dizzy and feels fuzzy. On the other hand my husband feels nothing and talked of making it a BBQ. pit. I put my foot down and told we already have a BBQ and don't need another, he thinks I am being silly. I think that it should be left alone. Also one other thing you ought to go to Stones River Battle field talk about spirits there are allot of them that you can see and hear. Last month we went there an saw the grave sights and walked the trails I heard lot of gun shots and saw a "REAL SOLDIER" standing by a grave he looked up and disappeared.
