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.
