While I was in Gettysburg I had the opportunity and pleasure to meet and spend time with Carolyn and her mother Fran. They were quite sensitive to unseen forces and were a big help to me. Listen now to Carolyn's words as she shares a story of a startling wound to her back in the middle of the night.

Jim, after we said our goodbyes to you, my mother and I decided to go back to our hotel.  We had only been out on the battlefield with the Ghostmaster at night and we were not quite sure about how to find our way
around.  It occurred to us that  Reynolds's Woods was very close to our hotel (Larson's Quality Inn), so we decided to drive there to see where the the highest ranking Union General was killed only 20 minutes after going onto the battlefield that first day on July 1, 1863.  We parked our car and walked over to the monument that was placed there in his honor.  We took some pictures, said a prayer for him, and drove back to our hotel.  We were both tired from our late night investigations with the Ghostmaster and decided to turn in early.  I had a dream that night about Union soldiers in our room.  At 4:00 a.m. I woke up with an incredible sharp pain in the middle of my back. The pain was so bad that it brought tears to my eyes.  I laid there in bed for two hours in pain until my mother woke up. I told her that I couldn't sit up and could she help me.  She helped me to sit up but when I tried to stand, I couldn't straighten up.  She then lifted up my T-shirt to see if there was something there.  It was then that she saw that I had a bruise in the middle of my back over my spine approximately the size of a half dollar.  I did not remember hitting my back at all the day before and I did not have any pain when we went to bed the previous evening.  It suddenly occurred to us what Mark Nesbitt had written in his "Ghosts of Gettysburg"  book.  Karyol Kirkpatrick (the psychic) had accompanied Mark to the very same site and she had experienced a severe, sharp pain in the middle of her back.  In Mark's book, she described the fatal wound that Union General John F. Reynolds had received in the back of his neck which generated down his spine.  Was I experiencing what happened to General Reynolds?  Was there a rip in time that we walked into? And why did I experience it? I only know that I have never experienced pain like that before.  I couldn't move until I was helped and then I couldn't straighten up for quite some time. 

On a side note, I find what I was wearing on our visit to Reynolds Woods that previous day interesting.  I had on my navy blue wool sweat pants and top and my navy blue down jacket.  I was wearing a solid black baseball hat (no insignia) on my head.  I also had my black backpack-style purse on my back.  Did I appear as a Union soldier to a Confederate sharpshooter who still haunts the fields of Gettysburg? 

The picture my mother took of the bruise on my back and my mother witnessing the excruciating pain I was in are the only proof I have of what happened to me that day at Gettysburg. I only know what I experienced is something I will never forget.
