Investigation Overview:
This Investigation took place inside the Jenkins Plantation
House. overall The evening was mostly uneventful. We had some reports from
various odors, several different aromas such as pipe smoke,
A popcorn scent was noted in the basement, nuts, fresh baked bread also
noted in the basement and the scent of roses out in front of the home were
reported in and around the house. one investigator
heard what we thought sounded like a bowling ball striking a bowling pin, and
this was captured on audio. We were told by the historian that General
Jenkins once had his own bowling alley in the attic of the house and would
go up there and bowl quite often. upon reviewing our evidence that was
collected in the Jenkins house we stumbled upon some rather interesting audio.
