Hank's restless spirit by Haunted Knoxville Press

Hank's restless spirit by Haunted Knoxville Press

Some believe the phantom to be the restless spirit of country music legend Hank Williams who rested at the site only hours before he died. The Andrew Johnson Building was a hotel at the time Williams visited in December of 1952. Less than 24hours later ...

Unfinished Business in Knoxville: Skeletons in Our Closets

May 23, 2015

Bob H Boyd | Investigative Reporter ~ Knoxghost

If you’ve ever watched a horror movie, or flipped past the SyFy channel, you know that the personal baggage we leave behind has always been linked to paranormal activity. You shouldn’t trust everything you see on TV, but, in this case, there is truth in the myth. Many paranormal experts, including our own J. Adam Smith, agree that the kind of energy involved in unfinished human business has strong influence on hard-to-explain occurrences. Places in your everyday routine might be brimming with paranormal energy.

            Locations like this take all shapes and sizes. J. Adam Smith has had experiences in places that housed secret societies, and extensive Mafia activity. However, one of the most intensive paranormal sights he had to discuss was Waverly Hills Sanitarium, native to Kentucky. This building, once home to many mentally troubled and potentially haunted individuals, flows over with unresolved angst and trauma. Smith’s biggest warning about these kinds of sights is that they can reach out and affect your psyche. It’s imperative that you take necessary precautions to defend against these rouge energies. It seems that, when it comes to ghosts, insanity is catching.

            Keep in mind, as you traverse the rich historical and emotional landscape of Knoxville, that you may be sensitive to these traumatic imprints, and that there are ways to defend yourself. These kinds of spiritual sinkholes could be anywhere, and, in a city like ours, might be lying in wait for an empath like you. Paranormal investigators like J. Adam Smith are true fountains of knowledge when it comes to how these energetic warzones manifest in our day-to-day life, but, if one thing is certain, it’s that you should trust your instincts. If it gives you the wiggens, keep moving, and keep your eyes open for sites of unfinished business near you.

 

 

Fundraiser and Award Winning Film Release ~ Historic Hauntings: A Paranormal Study of Ramsey House

Saturday, February 28th, 2015

Historic Ramsey House at 2614 Thorn Grove Pike in Knoxville will be introducing to the public, for the first time, the results of the paranormal investigation by Haunted Knoxville Ghost Tour’s J-Adam Smith and captured on video by Patrick Watson of Mapletree Productions.

In this Award Winning presentation you will see the long awaited results that may put to rest all the speculation as to whether Historic Ramsey House is haunted. “For years,” said Director Judy LaRose, “there have been reports of spiritual or ghostly sightings by passer-bys, neighbors, visitors and even some of our own board members and staff. We felt it was time to put the rumors to rest by having a Paranormal Investigation.”

The half hour video documents the investigation along with the history of the home and family.  There will then be a half hour tour led by J Adam Smith discussing the details of paranormal investigating. We think you will find this as exciting and fascinating as we did.

This fundraiser will start with a VIP session at 5:30pm. It will include a brief history of Ramsey House and the Ramsey family. J-Adam Smith along with Lindsey Whatley will be presenting Ghost Hunting 101. You will learn the ins and outs of the Ghost Hunting business, the equipment used and how to interpret the results. You will view the film and tour the house with the Ghost Hunting team. Admission for the VIP session is $35 and includes a copy of the DVD for you to take home. The number of guests for this tour is limited.

Admission for the additional tours is $25 per person to include a viewing of the film in the Visitor’s Center and a tour of the home with J-Adam.

All proceeds from this fundraiser went directly to Historic Ramsey House so thattheir mission of preservation, education and interpretation of the historic home and  one of the founding family’s that took such a great leadership role in the development of Knoxville as we know it today.
