CONCORD, NC (WBTV) - A north Charlotte woman claims she captured images on her Flip Camcorder of a ghost at the Reed Gold Mine in Cabarrus County.
Harrington says the ghost appeared to be peeking out at her in this image
The Reed Gold Mine is a state park located at 9621 Reed Mine Road in Midland, NC, located about 40 miles east of Charlotte.
Sandy Harrington said she and a friend visited the mine on Sat., May 14. She used her Flip Camcorder to shoot video while inside the mine shaft.
"I literally saw the ghost jump out with my own eyes and thought it was a visitor who jumped down a mine shaft out of sight, no one never showed up though," Harrington said.
When she went home and reviewed the videotape, Harrington said she was amazed at what she captured.
"I was just amazed and tickled to death," she said. "There is just something about the paranormal that gives me an adrenaline rush."
Harrington said she was told by an employee at the gold mine about an unsolved murder which occurred there in 1895.
Harrington says she wonders if the image she captured is the ghost of the person who was murdered.

WBTV attempted to reach the Reed Gold Mine for a comment about this story, but their offices were closed on Monday.
The Reed Gold Mine was the first documented gold find in the United States. According to the park's website, North Carolina led the nation in gold production until 1848 when it was eclipsed by the great rush to California.
Harrington says this image shows only the head of a ghost

My only thoughts are that I can definitely hear other people with young voices just prior to the ghost being shot.
ReplyDeletevery impressive as it seems to be giving off a lot of heat, i would love it if you could please recreate this with a person perhaps wearing mining clothing to see how a real person looks compared to this,but i find it impressive,although i also agree with the comment about sound?? maybe a trick??
ReplyDeleteI heard the young voices too.
ReplyDeleteI heard a number of happy voices too. Very interesting. Are we sure there was nobody else there at the time of filming? The ghost image is intriguing though.
ReplyDeleteThere were others in the mine but far away. When I first saw the image in my camera I thought it was a tourist and was agitated about it. It wasn't till I got home and realized it was an apparition. He shows up twice or more at the end going in the same direction seconds apart. One far away one close. The frame by frame image you see above was authenticated. If you like this have a look at our FaceBook page to see our other Spirits Spotted.
