FLORA COLEMAN ANNIS-DIED AUG. 23, 1892 HELP ME TELL THIS LOVELY SPIRIT'S STORY

A couple of months ago I posted several pictures from Roswell, GA of a very bright PINK orb.  I have been doing this for many, many years and have NEVER seen one that looked like this one.  I posted it on my Facebook page and was contacted by a very nice lady that told me the PINK orb was a young girl, in her twenties with dark hair and a curl up toward her face.  So she and I have been trying to find out who she is and what happened to her.  Below is what we have found out so far, so I thought I would ask for you guys to help us.  My friends on FB are also trying to research and see what we can find out about this lovely young spirit.  I fell she wants her story told....we just have to find out what it is.

Ok....Let's find out Flora's story. For those of you who are helping me find out about this lovely spirit... here are the pictures that Laura Creslaw drew. She did an AMAZING job!!!! Here is the information we have at this time...any additional "feelings" or information you can find out about our Flora please let me know...you can message me or post here whichever you prefer. And if you can draw her as Laura did that would be wonderful to!    Let's tell Flora's story....She may be gone but is not forgotten.  FLORA COLEMAN ANNIS WIFE OF B.F. ANNIS BORN SEPT. 27, 1872 DIED AUG. 23, 1892 AT THE AGE OF 20. SHE IS BURIED AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY IN ROSWELL, GA. SHE HAS DARK HAIR AND IS WEARING A BLUE SHAWL.  HER MOTHER'S NAME IS NANCY COLEMAN ALSO BURIED AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ROSWELL, GA.  SHE WAS BORN OCT.16, 1854 AND DIED AUG 29, 1898.  HER FATHER'S NAME IS WILLIAM COLEMAN AND WE DO NOT MUCH ABOUT HIM.  WHEN FLORA WAS BORN HER MOTHER WAS 16 AND HER FATHER WAS 20.  SHE MARRIED A MAN NAMED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ANNIS ON AUG.23, 1891(WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE CORRECT MARRIAGE DATE) WHICH MEANS FLORA DIED EXACTLY ONE YEAR TO THE DAY FROM THE DAY SHE GOT MARRIED!  May have a young son maybe around the age of 3 or 4. Possibility was hit by horses and carriage on a busy street-could be they were both run over by horses? Her husband lived til old age.

Below is an amazing sketch done by Laura Creslaw of Flora.  And the original photo she saw.

DO THEY....OR DON'T THEY???

One of the questions I get asked a lot is "do ghosts or spirits PROTECT us?"  My first response is YES!!!  But here's the deal....spirits can act as that "little voice" in our heads that tells us to THINK TWICE sometimes when we normally wouldn't.  Kinda like.....I NORMALLY would take my dogs out every morning to go potty and never look down.....I would just open the door and let them out and step out right after them......been doing it the same way over and over again for years........BUT........on a particular  morning I got up and started my NORMAL routine as always to let the dogs out.  I opened the door......the dogs ran out.....and for SOME REASON.....I have NO idea WHY.......but this morning that "little voice" in my head.....said I needed to look down.  So.....I looked down before stepping out and thank goodness I DID because there was a BIG SNAKE laying right where I normally would have stepped.  Just Good Luck?....Intuition? or SOMEONE watching out for me!!!  I bet you can guess which ONE I think it was!!!

On Facebook, there is a group from Salem, Mass that is always posting the coolest pics so it made me think of a photo I took..... that I think shows spirits or ghosts whichever you prefer to call them...protecting a young boy.  Oh....I have to throw this in......if you don't follow me on Facebook please do!   It's Becky Vickers-Becksgh.  OK....back to the story.....

I went to Salem back in 2005 and I can tell you it was AMAZING!  For someone that is interested in the paranormal I can't think of a better place to be!!!  Anyway, I had taken a ghost tour around the city and of course we walked by an old cemetery where most of the "accused" witches where buried.  Around the cemetery was a rod iron fence with spikes on the top. You can see them in these pictures.




The above pics show the fence around the cemetery.  As we walked around listening to the tour guide, there was this young boy that wasn't at all interested in what was going on.  You know....he was just doing his OWN THING.  Anyway, we stopped in front of the cemetery and the little boy jumps up on a stone ledge that was around part of the cemetery.  I was trying to pay attention to our tour guide but I was sooooo uneasy about this little boy on this ledge!  He was hoping back and forth and his parents weren't paying any attention at all!  I remember thinking to myself......there are a lot of spirits here.....could you PLEASE watch over this young boy because IF he falls......one wrong move....he will fall straight onto those spikes on top of the fence!!!!  Well, below is the picture I took of him on the ledge..........and well......you tell me........do you think anyone heard me???  One on each side....

I DO believe spirits can PROTECT us, maybe not in a physical sense...but they can give us CLUES to help protect ourselves. They can come to us in a dream, we can hear a tiny little voice, see something we may have not noticed before....but they TRY to get our attention...the best way they can to help protect us and guide us in the direction that God intended us to go. :)  We can't have the mind set that our loved ones WILL ALWAYS protect us from harms way....but when they can.....THEY DO!!!

I just wanted to post a couple more pics that I thought were so cool that I took at the same cemetery.  I don't think they were protecting anyone....but I think THEY definitely wanted to be seen.

Look how thin the headstones are.

Haunted Mills Cemetery "Smiley" Grave, Garland, Tx) July 27, 2013-Re-Post

I was asked if I would show this video again.  It is of me communicating with the "Smiley's".  I'm not going to re-write it, just read the information under the video and it will tell you the story of a devastating lose to the Smiley family.  I will say that there are SEVERAL stories relating to HOW this family died...the father murder them all......a tornado took the family as they slept... among others. I want to go on record saying that I DO NOT believe the father killed his family and I do not feel that there is any evil spirits here.  My encounter was with a loving family.   Hope you enjoy.  Just for the record....I really enjoyed my visit with the Smiley's.  :)

 

WHAT ARE GHOSTS REALLY?

Are they sugar and spice and everything nice?  I wish!!!  Most people tend to think of  a ghost as someone who has died and come back to "haunt" us.  Right??? Truly defining WHAT GHOSTS ARE can be a little complicated.  Defining a ghost in words is one thing.... but defining a ghost in reality is a bit more tricky.

First, you would have to determine what "ghostly" means.  Is it the TV that goes on and off by itself....is it that dark shadow that you seem to see every time you are in the basement?  What EXACTLY is a ghost????  Webster's dictionary defines a ghost as "a disembodied human spirit".  I would agree with that.  Now, even though everyone THESE days seems to be an expert in seeing and hearing ghost.....I do believe there are investigators out there that have TRULY experienced and documented unexplained occurrences that force US to pay attention.  And here is the BIGGEST thing we have to contend with when trying to identify exactly what is a "GHOST" is ....... the INTERPRETATION of the witness!  The person that saw the GHOST!!!

So many people believe that you can only BECOME a ghost if you have had a soul!  Created by God and put on this earth to live and breath until HE calls you home again.  I agree with that statement to a point.....GOD did create us and intended on us to have a life here on earth....BUT how do you explain all the OTHER things that we consider "ghostly" sometimes.....you know....a car that is seen with no driver, the plane that people see in the sky over and over at the same exact time of the day, a motorcycle that runs up and down the road?  What about those?  So, for me, ghosts can be the presence of something that at one time DID have a soul or something that at one time DID carried a lot of energy.

Is EVERY shadow, every transparent figure a ghost?  No.  Sometimes there aren't any easy answers when you are talking about the paranormal.  So, you know me....I'm going to try and give you "Beck's two Cents"....on what I believe a ghost is.  A ghost can be residual energy....that is played over and over again in a particular location or event site and this type ghost has no interaction with the living.  A ghost is someone that has left this world suddenly or unexpected and may not know they are even dead.  A ghost can be something that has such a STRONG connection to someone or something in the "Now world" that they have a hard time letting go or FEEL that they are STILL needed here on earth to complete a task.  These type ghosts ARE interactive with us, the living.    Bottom line.....See, a ghost cannot be defined by one particular sentence or statement.  Do they exist???.....YOU BET YA!!!  But until we can TRAP one(lol)...and study it over and over we cannot say FOR SURE exactly what a ghost is........we can only INTERPRET from our finding and know that there is something that keeps us ALL needing answers about the afterlife.  We may never have those answers...but I will continue to search.......you can count on that!!!! :)

  

Happy GHOSTLY Valentines Day!!!!!!

 

 

 

Ok....where's your shoebox???  When I was in school on Valentines Day we used to have to decorate a shoe box and bring it to school and everyone would drop their Valentines cards in a little slot cut out of the top.  Remember that?  Or am I showing my age and out here all alone!!! :) LOL

 

Either way......HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to each and everyone of you and I hope today brings lots of "hearts" your way.  You know what I'm about to say.....................YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  PS.....Don't forget about those who have passed before us today, blow them a kiss...and wish them Happy Valentines Day to.

 

 



ATLANTA GA-PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY-HAUNTED!!!! HAUNTED!!!!HAUNTED!!!!

What the *!^? was that!!!! LOL
All good ghost hunters say that!!!


 

 
 
 
So.....I am sooooo excited to write this weeks post!!!  Just got back from Atlanta (thank goodness... we flew in the day AFTER they had that ice storm that shut down the city) and we found a cemetery purely by accident that I have to say was one of the most ACTIVE cemeteries I have ever visited!!!

Deak (my boyfriend) and I had scheduled to go on a ghost tour in Roswell, GA but because of the weather it was cancelled.(Little did we know this was a good thing!)  There was still a lot of snow and ice on the ground but Deak and I decided to go eat and just check out Roswell since neither of us had been there before.  While we were driving around we found this AMAZING cemetery kinda on the outside of the square called Presbyterian Church Cemetery.  It was awesome!!!

The Presbyterian Cemetery has over 200 graves in it many who were in the Civil War.   Among these are a couple that was one of Roswell's most outstanding citizen's.....

Archibald Smith and his wife Anne Margaret McGill Smith.  After researching the cemetery on my Ipad  we couldn't  stand it.....we JUST HAD TO GO IN!!!!  YES!!!  We were freezing.....and I could barely hold the recorder for my hands shaking!

We read that the cemetery was haunted and people had seen red glowing balls, mist, faces......you name it......and it didn't disappoint!  From the minute we

Look at THIS orb close....



Do you see what I see?

stepped into the cemetery you could just FEEL the energy of the place!  I have been to MANY MANY cemeteries and sometimes you don't feel anything but NOT THIS TIME!  I felt like there were "people" everywhere starring at me.  Crazy, I know, but it did.  Almost immediately we started seeing orbs in our pictures! We were the ONLY ones out  in this crazy weather but yet I felt like we were among many.

By chance, the first graves we came up to was that of Archibald and his wife Anne.  There was sooooo much activity around their graves!!!  I truly felt like THEY followed us around the whole night!  Maybe....just to make sure we weren't going to do anything to the cemetery or maybe.......they just wanted company.....whatever the reason, you can see from the pictures below, that it looks like they did!  The first person to be buried here was back in 1840 so the cemetery is very old and to me, some of the older headstones are more beautiful than the ones now.  Walking around here was right up my alley looking at all the old headstones and reading about the people buried there.

Anyway, check out the pictures below and I think you will see WHY I LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!
I am still going through EVP's and hope to post those soon.  So, if you are ever up in Roswell, GA DO NOT pass this one by!

Archibald Smith and Anne's graves.

This was hanging on the fence around their graves.
 Very Very Creepy!!!

It was a mask made of feathers!!! For some
reason I just couldn't get over this....I just thought
it was one of the strangest things I have ever seen
left in a cemetery.

Archibald and Anne following us???

When I would take a picture of Deak
I would ask the spirits to go stand
by him.

One of my FAVORITES!!! I believe this
is a Ecto-mist.( fog looking stuff
in the upper left corner.)  A Ecto-mist is a spirit
trying to manifest themselves.

A close up of the Ecto-mist.



hhhuuummm Archibald and Anne
keeping an eye on Deak.

Again, asking spirits to go stand by Deak
so they could be in the picture.

Is this someone trying to "photo bomb"
my picture?lol (you can plainly see that the orb has now
moved in front of Deak from photo A.

Who is this standing by Deak?(right shoulder
Photo A)



This is probably my NEW FAVORITE
PHOTO!!!  I have caught all different colored orbs BUT NEVER one like this!! A VERY BRIGHT PINK ORB!! 

I just think this is the coolest picture.  A little closer
of the beautiful orb.

Is this someone with Archibald and Anne?
(a close up of the picture to the right)

Here is the same orb in motion.  This was
taken back to back with the one above.

To my surprise another PINK orb!  Or
is the same one trying to get my attention?

Close up of the second Pink orb.

And the next you don't.......

One minute you see it....

See I knew we weren't alone.

I just thought this turned out kinda cool.
That's all.

Man it's cold out here!!!  Anyone else cold???



I'm going to take that as a "YES".
