Laura Casey's Page
On the evening of October 4, 2008, Andrew Lake and Steven Nelson of Greenville Paranormal Research teamed up with their good friends Carl Johnson and Laura Casey of New England Anomalies Research to investigate the ruins of the Ram Tail Factory and the stretch of the Ponagansett River where the ghosts of Peleg Walker and Betsey Grayson haunt. On the way out of the forest, Laura asked Andrew if she could write an article for G.P.R.'s web site. He thought that would be a great idea, not even knowing what she planned to write. Sadly, we shall never know what she had in mind for her article. Forty eight hours latter, Laura died in her sleep. We all miss her very much. In honor of her memory we offer this page as a place for anyone to post a paranormal article, story, photograph or video. E-mail your material to

Laura Casey: "The E. V. P. Magnet"
Anyone who teamed up with Laura Casey on an investigation would learn that the lady was an E.V.P. magnet. She seemed to have a knack at bringing out the spirits. If there was activity in a home or place, she would get a comment! Here are some E.V.P.s she sent to G.P.R. from a home N.E.A.R. was investigating.
"Bitch, was her name."
"Make a video."
"(inaudible...) Get another tattoo."
"You guys are right on."
Black Mass in Burillville, Rhode Island
This photo was sent to G.P.R. by Carl Johnson. After giving a talk at a local library, Carl had a man named John tell him about something freaky that he caught with a trail camera mounted to a tree in the woods near his house. John wanted to catch shots of the wild animals in the area and he did. But he also caught two shots (within the same minute) of this black mass. A shot taken a little earlier shows nothing (not even wind moving the foliage) and a shot taken five minutes after the two black mass pictures shows nothing as well. These cameras need movement to be activated, so the shots with nothing are strange too. What made John feel a little spooked is the fact that there is an historic cemetery very near to this spot in the woods. Thanks again to John and Carl for this strange photo and story!
19th Century News Paper Accounts of Ghosts
These news paper stories were found and sent to us by Rhode Island historian, Jim Ignasher. Jim always passes along information to those who he thinks would be interested.
This story was found on the back of another news story that was originally clipped out. That's why it is incomplete.
Orbs Seen And Photographed Near Mercy Brown's Grave In Exeter, R.I.
These pictures were sent to us by a guy named Gary. He and his friends decided to take a legend trip to the Chestnut Hill Baptist Church one night in October, 2009, to visit the "vampire's grave". As they entered the graveyard, they saw what they first thought were little electric lights glowing on the ground in front of some of the headstones. As they approached, the lights faded away. Soon after, they noticed the lights had reappeared, but this time they were further away in the night air. Gary began to take shots in an attempt to capture what the five of them could see. The larger, transparent orbs could be dismissed as moisture or dust, but the little blue lights were seen by everyone who was there. The large pink orb is very interesting. For many years people have talked about seeing phantom blue lights in the cemetery. Gary and his friends had never heard that fact. A big thanks to Gary and his friends for these fascinating pictures and story!
A Strange Tale From Anawan Rock
This account comes from a young man named Chris R., who had something very disturbing happen to him after visiting Anawan Rock in Rehoboth, MA. It was sent to G.P.R. by a student from Emerson College named Jordan. Andrew Lake had helped Jordan and two of her classmates with their short film on strange tales from the Bridgewater Triangle. This is an excerpt from that film. Remember: leave only footprints and take only photographs when visiting sites in nature. Especially when they're haunted!
Ghost Standing By An Old House?
This photo was sent in by Katie from Acushnet, MA. It was taken by her mother who likes to check out old buildings and photograph them before they are gone for ever. Later, the two of them noticed what looks like a heavy set man, wearing a cap, standing by the side of the old house.
