The New Orleans Great Secret Civil War Mystery
Sub
Paranormal Investigator
David Falcone of New Orleans Ghost
Chasers, says his studies of the area
often tell of ghosts leading people
to buried treasures and scientific
finds. One group believes that King
Tut's ghost lead Howard Carterto his
hidden tomb. He had worked in Egypt
for 31 years before he found King
Tut's tomb. One school of thought
is that Carter was lead by many ghosts
until Tutankhamun 's ghost found him.
Many beleieve that is the same for
modern archioligist and paranormal
investigators.
Many believe that lone
ghosts will stand near or close to
where their bodies have fallen when
they died. On many of America's haunted
battlefields or unmarked
graves. The same applies to those
killed on major highways or public
places.
Ghost over the years
have said to sometimes guard treasures.
Such is the story of Piriates killing
the men who burried their tresure.
A hole was dug on a lone island the
large chest dropped in. Then the men
who carried it their were killed and
their bodies weere burried on top
of it.
Founded in 1976 by David
Falcone, the group has had it's share
of a few great notable members one
of which was the Late Witch Queen
Of New Orleans, Mary Oneida Toups.
"When Oneida was with the team,
says Falcone. "We found a few
great pysical discoveries that the
ghost lead us to." We Found a
old tin Can with confeferate money
and a rosary inside." "
Several Musket Balls, and a Civil
War sword." And Yes, the actual
ghost certainly lead us to them states
Falcone. The team has never found
anything really valuable other then
a few diamond earrings, and asssort
turn of the century rings and hat
pins. The many things ghost will lead
you to was, or certainly is, still
valuable to them alone.
Here below is a recent
ghost photo from Spanish Fort in New
Orleans. Could the ghost be trying
to lead us to something lost, a new
mystery or valuable treasure?
Spanish Fort Ghosts?

Ghost at Spanish Fort
have been known to warn of dangers.
The old Spanish for on New Orleans
Bayou St. John has suposedly been
haunted for many years. The Colonial
era fort protected the Lake Pontchartrain
entrance of Bayou St. John. The first
small fort here was erected by the
French in 1701, before the founding
of the city of New Orleans, to protect
the important trade route along Bayou
St. John. After Louisiana passed to
Spanish control, a larger brick fort
was constructed at the site of the
neglected old French fortification;
this was known as "San Juan del
Bayou". Louisiana passed back
to France and then to the hands of
the United States. The fort was decommissioned
in 1823.
The land was bought
by private developers, and became
a popular amusement park, known as
"Spanish Fort" or "Old
Spanish Fort". It featured restaurants,
a casino, a resort hotel, dancing
pavilions, an alligator pond, and
in its later decades amusement rides
such as the "Scenic railway",
a roller coaster. A steam railway,
and later an electric streetcar system,
connected the lakeside resort with
the center of the city. It was especially
popular during the summer for the
cooling breezes of the Lake. It was
billed as the "Coney Island of
the South".

submarine of the 1860s, New Orleans.
Submarine on display at Spanish Fort
amusement park about 1895. (This same
submarine was on display at the Presbytere
on Jackson Square for most of the
2nd half of the 20th century, and
now is at the State Museum in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.) A bit of Bayou
St. John can be seen behind the submarine.

From about 1880 to 1908
the small iron submarine now in the
collection of the Louisiana State
Museum was on display here, identified
as the Confederate war submarine "Pioneer".
(Recent investigations have called
the traditional identification in
to question, making the curious early
submarine even more of a mystery.
Many said it was haunted as it sat
in front of the The Presbytere Museum
for many years. Some reported seing
a ghost pop his head out. Many believed
it was the ghost of the man inside
that lead to it's discovery.
The Bayou St. John Confederate
Submarine is an early military Submarine
built for use by the Confederate States
of America during the American Civil
War. The submarine is constructed
of riveted iron, 20 feet (6.1 m) long,
3 feet (0.91 m) wide and 6 feet (1.8
m) deep, with a hand-cranked propeller.
No period documentation
for the submarine is known to exist,
and its original name and many details
about it remain unknown. The submarine
was rediscovered in 1878 during a
dredging of Bayou St. John at its
intersection with Lake Pontchartrain
in New Orleans, Louisiana, where the
submarine was presumably scuttled
to prevent it falling into Union hands
after the U.S. capture of New Orleans
(see: New Orleans in the American
Civil War). It was put on display
beside the bayou at Spanish Fort Amusement
Park as a curiosity, incorrectly identified
as the Confederate submarine Pioneer.
(The traditional identification as
the "Pioneer" was not called
into serious question until historical
research in the late 20th century
showed the "Pioneer" to
be of different design than the one
rescued from Bayou St. John.) The
Bayou submarine and the Pioneer may
have undergone trials at about the
same time and confusion between the
two may date back to contemporary
accounts; it is not clear which of
the two was constructed first.
A Civil War-era submarine
-- which was long thought to be "Pioneer,"
but is not -- was discovered and raised
in 1878 and is on display at the Louisiana
State Museum. True origin? A mystery.
Over the years some
reported that a solitary figure of
a mans ghosts haunted the spot where
it was found. When the lost sub was
discovered the ghost was never seen
again.
In 1908 the submarine was moved to
the grounds of Camp Nicholls Confederate
Home on Moss Street beside Bayou St.
John. About this time, the interior
of the submarine was filled with concrete
in an attempt at preservation that
later generations of conservators
would find questionable.
In 1942 the submarine was acquired
by the Louisiana State Museum and
moved to Jackson Square; after being
in various displays around the Square
it was placed in the shelter of the
arcade of the ground floor of The
Presbytere in 1957, where it would
remain until 1999.
In 1999 the submarine was transported
to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the
old concrete was removed as part of
major restoration work, after which
the submarine was placed on display
at the Baton Rouge branch of the Louisiana
State Museum. But tales of it being
haunted has not stopped yet.
The actual sub is said to be still
very active and is hard to photograph.
If you try to snap a photo with out
asking the guy insides permission
strange images occur. Similar to the
effects that occur with Key West's
famous haunted doll - Robert
The Doll.
Robert, sometimes known
as Robert the Doll, is a doll that
was once owned by Key West painter
Robert Eugene Otto. The doll, which
is reportedly haunted, has become
a fixture of ghost tours in the Key
West area since it was inducted into
the Martello Gallery-Key West Art
and Historical Museum. Please
See More: Real
Ghost Photos of Robert the Doll
Here.
The Cult Classic "Chucky"
movies are said to be modeled after
the tale of "Robert The Doll."
Robert remains a popular display
in the museum to this day. He is annually
rotated to the Old Post Office and
Customshouse in October, with museum
staff claiming that strange activity
in the museum increases during such
times.
Robert made an appearance at Taps
CON, a paranormal convention held
in Clearwater, Florida in May 2008.
This was the first time the 105 year
old Robert the Doll left his home
town of Key West, Florida.
Tourists attempting to take pictures
of Robert have claimed to have horrible
consequences afterward. Many have
written letters to the doll apologizing
for not asking his permission for
the photographs. Some have reported
losing all other vacation pictures
except for the ones of Robert, and
others even blame the doll for disease
in their immediate family. Letters,
cards, and returned pictures are posted
on the wall behind the doll's display.
Many have noted that their camera
batteries were inexplicably much lower
afterward. It has been speculated
that Robert, in fact, drains the cameras
to sustain his own life; according
to a investigating psychic, Robert's
ghost is slowly dying to frighten
you. Psychic Mickey of Miami though
states further that. " Robert
is only goes dormant until the right
antagonist with a camera comes along
to haunt." " I also believe
Robert is a ghost that likes to protect
people." " And in his haunted
stuffed head he thinks he is guarding
the Museum." "Well Robert
lets you know that he, is with photographic
proof to prove it." " Ghosts
Guard Memory's, TOO!" Said Mickey
Of Miami.
So the next time
someone tells you they are haunted
consider what is the ghost trying
to lead you to? A lost Rembrant? A
million dollars in cash? Or their
forever lost lost soul!

Lisa
Lee Harp Waugh asks...
Have
The Dead Spoken To You Lately?
Lisa Lee Harp Waugh
The American Necromancer
The first lady of conjuring the Dead.
The ancient art pf Necromancy is still
alive today with Waugh at it's main
investigator. LISA LEE HARP WAUGH
Is a necromancer in the 21st century.
She is by what may call a real conduit
to the world of the dead. She dressers
in ceremonial robes, draws magical
circles on the floor and commands
spirits from Heaven, Hell and all
places in between to appear before
her and communicate with the living.
As a teenager she studied heavily
The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish
and The Grand Grimoire by A.E Waite,
the Malleus Maleficarum and anything
she could get her hands on by the
great by Eliphas Levi, John Dee and
the great beast, Aleister Crowley.
www.ghosthuntersofamerica.com
A professional Necromancer and founder
of the Sorcerers Guild of greater
Houston, Texas. Waugh has been practicing
and conducting rituals for many paranormal
investigators for over 20 years. Waugh
also paints many spiritual and common
murals and lives in a small Texas
town with her three dogs. She also
over the years makes ceremonial candles
and is active in ghost hunting in
the deep South. Summoning the dead
to communicate with the living is
a natural daily occurrence for Waugh.
"I have been doing this since
I was a child." " When I
lived in Galveston, Texas about 15
years ago, I was introduced to the
ancient rights of ceremonial Necromancy
as a ritual by a great shaman called
Freebird, and because of him and his
diligence to the art, I still practice
it until this day." "However,
if a spirit has something vital to
impart to you, they will call upon
you, not vice-versa and no ritual
is needed".
She then Got involved with the local
Hoodoo Voodoo's of the area and new
doors where opened to her concerning
communicating with the dead.
Waugh was baptized and trained in
the secret dark religion by Bianca
The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Waugh
lived in New Orleans for 3 years until
she learned all about spells, hex's
and how to hoodoo voodoo people as
she says.
Waugh also owned and managed the
fantastic Candle Making Company in
Galveston, Texas for many years that
catered to the eclectic patrons taste
of many of the states visitors and
just curious. She then moved to Houston's
Famous Vodoun area 5th ward. This
now where she resides to this day.
Her home today is a testimony to Necromancy
and her new found religion of Voodoo
Hoodoo.
Necromantic practitioners such as
Waugh conducts, and entails respect
and reverence not only for the spirits
of the dead, but for the spirits of
Hell, Heaven and all places in between.
Waugh has a large home one room she
has painted black where she calls
the good spirits. Another painted
all black where she calls the infernal
spirits.

Waugh is often compared today in
her facial features and many similar
practices as being a modern Dr. John
Dee. He of course was one of the most
fascinating characters of the Elizabethan
period just as Waugh is recognized
as such in modern times. The events
of Dee's life are filled with science,
experiments, astrology and mathematics
which he aligned with magic, the supernatural
and alchemy! All of which is Waugh's
personal passion and driven honest
beliefs. These are also stead fast
traditions she does and true in practicing
openly. A few of her select followers
say she is the actual reincarnation
of John Dee. Waugh also practices
astrology, and is very continuously
studying the Black Arts.
Waugh, a real big hearted Texas gal
does not comment on any of this privately
or publicly ... for she is humble
in her paranormal studies and research
to the core. Gina Lanier a close friend
of her's relates: "Waugh is a
very outgoing friendly, charming and
a downright loveable person, and gets
along equally well with the living
and the dead." Lanier and Waugh
once investigated a real Haunted Texas
Federal Prison together for close
to two years in the early 1990's and
had many startling paranormal adventures
while there.
Lisa Lee Harp Waugh's accomplishments
have been achieved through hard work,
persistence, and a goal-oriented attitude
required to overcome obstacles and
reach difficult goals. Waugh shares
her approach to communicating with
the dead's success in this motivational
performance that's sure to inspire
Paranormal Investigators to excel
in their life.
