CASE INFORMATION
South Jersey Ghost Research was the first group to ever conduct an
investigation at historic
Fort Ticonderoga
in Ticonderoga, NY. Built in the mid 1700s, and originally named
Fort Carillon by the French, the fort played an important part in the
Seven Years' War with England. The small French contingency
manning the fort managed to hold against the attack of 16,000 British
forces, which included the highly imposing 42nd Royal Highland
Regiment, also known as the "Black Watch". On May 10, 1775, Ethan
Allen, Benedict Arnold, and the Green Mountain Boys, in a surprise
attack captured the fort from its British garrison in the first
American victory of the Revolutionary War.
After learning of the loss of a Fort Ticonderoga benefactor, and a
great deal of funding for the Fort, members of SJGR contacted the Fort
Ticonderoga Museum staff to offer our services, free of charge, which
resulted in an overnight investigation of Fort and surrounding area
(Black Watch Cairn, French Lines, and American Cemetery).
Psychic impressions were plentiful. In the
American Cemetery, investigators felt chaos and confusion. Many
investigators experienced what they considered residual impressions
(men running or on horseback, feelings of being wounded,
etc.) These impressions were felt by different
investigators, separate of one another, at different times of the
night.
Investigators felt American Indians were in the trees of
the French Lines, and could see shadows moving and the flashes of
musket and rifle fire. Again, this was experienced by different
teams of investigators independent of one another at various times
during the night. One team, incluidng a fort staffer,
observed a horse and rider move across a clearing near the cemetery and
then disappear.
In the Officer’s Quarters, investigators felt the
presence of a male who seemed to move back and forth between the
Casement and the Weapons Room. Some investigators felt he had
been wounded in his right arm and later died from his injury, while
another had a psychic impression of him as a gray-haired male who
experienced compression in his chest, like a heart-attack.
In the French Ovens, some investigators felt they were
being watched from above, and others felt someone had either fell,
jumped, or had been pushed from the top. Some investigators felt
physical assaults had taken place there.
Some investigators felt the presence of soldiers on the bastions and
demilunes, and felt they were sentries.
Two individual groups of investigators sensed gallows
had been constructed as needed on the grounds between the NW Bastion
and the North Demilune, and the rooms under the North Demilune had been
used as holding cells.
The names “Campbell”, “MacPherson”, “Pierre Le Freete”, “Bull”,
“Angus”, “Charles”, “Parker”, “Benjamin”, and a name ending in "aniel"
were also picked up on, among others.
The physical evidence collected consisted of 28
EVPs, some of which appear to interact with
investigators and their questions, 57 positive
photos
with energy orb anomalies in them, and 1 positive photo of
Ectoplasm
Mist. 3.7% of the positive photos obtained falls below the
normal
range of expected percentages, so they don't factor into the
overall evidence. However,
the highest percentages of
photos were taken
in the Officer’s
Quarters, the French Ovens, and the French Lines. In
addition, some photos correspond to events investigators were
experiencing at the time the photo was taken.
There were an unusually high
number of 18 anomalous
EMF
readings, and 9 motion sensor
readings, which are highly significant. EMF readings
with no known natural source
which could be traced and were fleeting caused a quick and sudden
change in the electromagnetic fields of the Soldier’s Barracks, French
Oven, the Demilunes, the American Cemetery, and at the Scottish Cairn. The
motion sensor
readings were obtained when unseen object/s with the infrared heat
signature of something weighing 5lbs or greater passed within the
coverage area of the detector. 4 of these readings were obtained
in the American Cemetery after investigators obtained EVP audio
recordings and sensed the presence of soldiers around them.
2 anomalous temperature
readings were obtained during the investigation in the French Ovens and
the Officers Quarters.

CLIPS
7:35pm - Investigator M.
Carroll recorded these two male voices during the initial tour of the
Weapons Room of the Officers Quarters, as the guide speaks in the
background. The first male voice says, "Of course, of course",
followed a few seconds later by another male voice saying, "In the
circle". Click here to play

8:48pm - Investigator
Apostolico recorded this male voice saying, "Baby" in the same area of
the North Demilune where she had obtained a Mist photo. Click here to play EVP
9:14pm - Investigator
Apostolico recorded this spirit voice saying, "You got it" in the
French Ovens after Investigator DeLucio mentioned she sensed things
were thrown down from above. Click here

8:25pm - Investigator
Apostolico took this photo on the North Demilune after sensing the
presence of a French soldier near the cannon. (the small white
dots are NOT orbs, they are bugs)

9:05pm - Investigator
D. Perley took this photo shortly before hearing footsteps behind her
while on the path at the French lines.
|
9:28pm - Investigator
Apostolico took this photo in the French Ovens after the Trifield
Natural EMF Meter detected an anomalous fluctuation in the
electromagnetic field. |
9:42pm - Investigator
Apostolico took this photo at random in the French Ovens; minutes after
the MEL Meter registered a 12 degree temperature fluctuation, and
shortly before recording an EVP.
|
10:22pm - Investigator Juliano took this
photo in the barracks doing a walk through of this building.
|
10:45pm - Investigator DeLucio took this
photo in the Officer's Quarters shortly after the MEL EMF meter
detected an anomalous fluctuation in the electromagnetic field. |
12:13aqm - Investigator Bown took this photo at random in the Casement
minutes after obtaining three EVPs. |
12:52am
- Investigator Juliano took this photo while laying in the trenches of
the french lines. There were multiple motion sensors
detecting
movement in front of the trench and the team could see shadows
moving. |
