  Lady Belle: The Doll That Still Waits in the Hall By: Tammy Mitchell Summers KY. Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places | Facebook     Lady Belle: The Doll That Still Waits in the Hall Deep in the moss-cloaked hills of eastern Tennessee stands the remains of the FairHollow Orphanage, a building long surrendered to rot yet known to whisper when the wind crawls low. Paranormal investigators call it “unremarkable on the surface,” but what lingers inside has drawn more than silence—it has drawn footsteps. And they all lead back to a doll named Lady Belle. The Discovery Lady Belle was unearthed during a 1993 exploratory sweep by a local ghost-hunting crew investigating EVPs in the orphanage’s nursery ward. Beneath a moth-eaten quilt in a cobwebbed trunk, they found her: dressed in yellowed lace, her porcelain fingers chipped, and her music box intact. When gently wound, she played a melody none could identify—high, lilting, mournful. Audio equipment picked up a curious p...

Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places   Exploring the haunted edges of real-life mystery On a cold January morning in 2020, 20-year-old Keeslyn Noelle Roberts walked into the Pilot Flying J truck stop in Resaca, Georgia—and was never seen again.

  The Shadow Doll: A Cursed Creation That Haunts Your Dreams By:  Tammy Mitchell Summers      KY. Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places Where feathers mask malice, and sleep is no escape. In the dim corners of the Warren Occult Museum once stood a figure that few dared to photograph. Not porcelain. Not cloth. But a grotesque fusion of bird feathers, bone fragments, and a human tooth —a doll crafted not for comfort, but for curse rituals . Known simply as The Shadow Doll , this artifact is said to be one of the most dangerous items ever collected by Ed and Lorraine Warren. Origins of the Unholy Doll The exact origins of the Shadow Doll remain shrouded in mystery. Some claim it was created in the 1880s by practitioners of Caribbean folk magic or obscure European occultists. Others believe it was assembled more recently by a skilled witch or warlock for one purpose: to harm from afar . Constructed with black raven feathers for hair A human tooth embedded in its mo...

  Whispers in the Garden: The Haunting Legacy of Barnsley Gardens By:  Tammy Mitchell Summers     KY. Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places Nestled in the quiet hills of Adairsville, Georgia, the ruins of Barnsley Gardens whisper a story of love, loss, and lingering spirits. Beneath its manicured paths and blooming camellias lies a Southern gothic tale that has captivated historians, romantics, and paranormal seekers for generations.   A Mansion Built on Grief In the 1840s, Godfrey Barnsley—a wealthy English cotton broker—began construction on an opulent Italianate estate for his beloved wife, Julia.

 La Llorona of New Mexico: The Wailing Woman Who Haunts the Rio Grande   By:  Tammy Mitchell Summers  La Llorona of New Mexico Beneath the desert moon’s pale glow, a sorrowful cry drifts across the Rio Grande’s still waters. Locals shudder at the echo—La Llorona, the Weeping Woman. In New Mexico, her legend weaves Spanish colonial lore with indigenous memory, ensuring her mournful lament never fades from the Land of Enchantment.    THE WEEPING WOMAN According to one of the most enduring tales, Maria was a beautiful young mother who fell deeply in love with a cavalier soldier. Betrayed by his unfaithfulness, she drowned her two children in a fit of grief—then took her own life in remorse. Denied peace, her spirit rose from the riverbank, cursed to wander as La Llorona, forever seeking the lost souls she claimed beneath the waters.

The Crying Lady of Pine Mountain

 The Crying Lady of Pine Mountain By: Tammy Mitchell Summers,    KY. Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places She is not a ghost in the traditional sense. She is grief given form. A memory that refuses to be buried. Locals call her The Crying Lady of Pine Mountain—a spectral figure seen near the abandoned coal mines that once pulsed with life and labor. She appears at dusk, when the fog rolls down the mountain like a shroud. Her sobs are soft, almost indistinguishable from the wind. But those who’ve heard them say they carry something deeper than sound: a sorrow that settles in the bones.   A Spirit Born of Collapse The mines of Pine Mountain were once the lifeblood of the region. Men descended into darkness each morning, chasing wages and survival. Women waited, prayed, endured. And when the mines collapsed—literally and metaphorically—they left behind more than broken families. They left behind stories. Some whispered. Some wept. The Crying Lady is said to have lost her ...

 The Devil Made Me Do It: Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Final Case By: Tammy Summers    KY. Sisters Exploring Forgotten Places  A LEGACY OF THE UNSEEN For decades, Ed and Lorraine Warren stood at the forefront of paranormal investigation, delving into hauntings from Amityville to Enfield. Their final—and most legally controversial—case emerged in 1981 in Brookfield, Connecticut, when a murder trial claimed demonic possession as defense for the first time in U.S. history.  In early 1981, 11-year-old David Glatzel began exhibiting bizarre behavior: growling, speaking in unknown tongues, and violent fits. His family enlisted Ed and Lorraine after exhaustively consulting medical experts. Multiple Catholic priests performed an exorcism over several days. Each session followed the Church’s ritual: 1. Recitation of prayers from the Rituale Romanum 2. Sprinkling of holy water and use of blessed oil 3. Invocation of St. Michael the Archangel to banish the demon Witnesse...
