Brief Home and Property Description:

? A tract of land consisting of 120 acres located in the heavily wooded area in the hills of Northwest Arkansas. Campground area consists of 3 pop-up campers and a shed. The land has been in the family for over 50 years.



Current Owner Reportings:

? Landowner and daughter began noticing that rocks were being thrown or dropped behind them in an area that later became called "The Twilight Zone." The "Twilight Zone" is located on a path that leads to the top of one of the hills. Eventually the rock throwing seemed to follow them all the way back to the current campground. They actually saw a rock drop in front of them. The landowner said that it appeared that it was dropped instead of thrown.

? While sitting in the camper that they often stay in, the landowner and her daughter heard something "wham" the door of the camper. They turned on the lights and saw nothing but a dent in the door.

? Landowner and daughter were inside the camper when they heard something hit the back of the camper. The next morning they found the awning bent.

? Landowner left a denim shirt on the back of her chair and left the campsite for a short while. When she returned, she found her shirt wadded up, wet and muddy.

? The area called the "Twilight Zone" would sometimes give them the willies. Unexplained lights have been seen in this area.

? Landowner and daughter sent MPR several pictures that had been taken both inside the camper and around the area which indicated that paranormal activity may be occurring.



Reported Findings and Experiences:

? 4 EVPs were recorded throughout the evening. The 1st EVP was recorded as MPR was going up the hill to set up their camp. Misty was carrying the tape recorder and asked, "Does anyone here want to talk to me or say anything?" A response was given by a female voice asking, "I am invincible?" followed by "I forgive you for the feudin". When this statement was shared with the homeowner, she thought that it was her mother, as her mother often used the word feudin'. The 2nd EVP was recorded at the MPR campsite. Misty again said, "If you have something to say, please say it into the recorder. The same female voice responded with a moan followed by "I'm so sick of this". After this comment, Misty said, "I'm so sorry that you're sick." Again the homeowner confirmed that this was a phrase her mother used often. The 3rd EVP was recorded after Misty thought that she saw a soldier standing at the edge of the woods. Misty, Dee Ann and Brenda all went up into the woods in the direction that Misty thought she saw him go. An EVP was recorded during this time of a man saying, "Are you looking at me, are you looking at me" followed by Misty responding, "I'm not looking at you now, I want to take a picture." Two photographs taken at this time showed ghost mists. (See below).  The 4th EVP was also recorded at the MPR campsite of a female voice saying "I'm warm". It is unknown rather this was the same female voice recorded previously. Video footage ruled out any of the team members making this statement.

? A photo taken of Misty while she was offering a gift of tobacco to the Indian spirits that were present revealed several orbs surrounding her during this ritual.  (See below).

? Photos taken toward where it is believed an Indian burial ground exists, shows several orbs coming in during the time that Misty was performing a drum ceremony on their behalf. One orb was captured multiple times by multiple cameras. Also during this drumming ceremony, the video audio picked up what sounded like someone walking through the leaves. The camera was located where the orbs were photographed. This rustling of the leaves took place several times. Misty felt that the Indian spirits had come in to dance to her drumming.

? Once during the night, Dee Ann who remained in the tent while Misty and Brenda went down the path, heard someone walking around the tent and also stated that she heard breathing sounds. She thought it was Misty and Brenda and called out, "I know it's you guys and you're not scaring me." The video audio picked up the noises that she was hearing. The video camera validated that there were no animals or people outside the tent when these sounds were recorded.



Psychic Readings:


? The underground railroad ran through this area. I see them taking the slaves to the creek and one of them tells me that the water was deep. They would follow the creek to the river. A family named Garrett or Granite helped them.

? There is an Indian burial ground located on the ridge. Research indicates that the entire town was once a Cherokee Reservation and that the "Trail of Tears" ran through this area.

? The ghost of a general walks up the path.

? There are two people here that need to go into the light. One gives his name as Jonathan Walker and the other gives only his last name, which was Grayson. I think they were soldiers. The landowner revealed that the name of Walker was a prominent family in the community who had been there for many, many years.

? There were 4 soldiers killed in a skirmish that took place in the "Twilight Zone." That is what you are feeling. Two of them were Privates and one gives his name as Talbert. During the investigation, Misty and Brenda felt that this area was extremely energized and could not walk into it after dark. It felt as if something was coming out of the trees from both sides of the path. A big black shape was seen in the flash of the camera. It may have been walking down the path. History research indicated that a post of 92 Confederate soldiers occupied this area and that several skirmishes occurred. There were also some skirmishes with Indians. The exact locations of these skirmishes have not been found.

? The owner's mother is here. She stays mainly in the camper. She says to tell her daughter that she understands why she had to sell some of the land but doesn't want her to sell any more. She's also upset about the people who were brought here. She feels the need to stay around and protect her daughter.

**NOTE: This was a very interesting area for an investigation. MPR hopes to return in the Spring with the full team in order to be able to cover more area and collect more evidence.
