[@Suebee1988]

Perhaps things go bump in the night occasionally because a large portion of the floor is missing, allowing for critters to come in and investigate. P.S. Be careful with armadillos as they can carry and transmit Hansen's disease, aka leprosy - not only from handling the animals but from the soil they burrow and poop in.

I copied this from the Find a Grave website. Thought it might be of interest to you (the little girl passed in the master bedroom on the floor): A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE HANDY PISTOL GETS IN ITS WORK A LITTLE GIRL KILLED Another household has been thrown into the deepest grief by a pistol! News reached Talbotton of a terrible accident that happened at the home of Mr. Henry Byrd, 10 miles from here on Sunday evening last. Mr. Byrd, who is a well-to-do young farmer, took his pistol and loaded it with and went out and fired two or three shots into his watermelon patch to frighten thieves, coming back home he left the pistol on a bureau in his room and walked out. In another moment he heard the pistol fire and rushed into the room to find his little nine-year-old daughter, Willie, the idol of his heart, in the agonies of death, with a ball from the horrible weapon through her head. After laying the pistol down his little girl and her cousin, aged 11 years, and daughter of Mr. G. A. Byrd, both went into the room and began to play with the pistol. They had been playing with it in the forenoon and then it was unloaded. The now unhappy father saw them where they went after he came out of the room and he cautioned them not to trouble the pistol as it was now loaded. It was scarcely a second before the fatal shot was fired. The eldest girl killed her cousin. Just how it was done is not known. It is of course supposed that the elder one snapped the pistol at the younger one as she did in the forenoon, not thinking it was loaded. Talbontton, GA. Herald --transcribed by Kerry 48011981

Robert, if there is any lingering spirit energy in that house, I am sure they admire and welcome you. You are the best thing that has happened to the old farm; you have brought it back to life and shared its history with many viewers. I'll bet the spirit energy of the past protects you.

It would be fun helping you go through all the old stuff and helping you clean up stuff. I just love old houses.

[@cindys.9688]

Well, if any spirits were out and about Blue would have been sensitive to them, and he seemed cool as a cucumber, so I'd take that as a good sign.🙂 Thanks for taking us along! That really was fun. Glad you slept good. I'd be sleeping with a/c (I'm a wimp🥵) but you wanted to rough it, and that you did! Proud of you!🥳 So that particular room gives y'all the eebie jeebies?? There's probably an "energy" left behind of someone who maybe died there?👻 It doesn't have to be unfriendly. In fact, if that's true, then it seems pretty tolerant of you and Blue. Probably likes the restoration you're doing. And Blue's a good boy and everyone loves a good boy!🐶💙

[@marilynhoward4561]

My home was built in the 1870s. We had it blessed after some scary situations. No more issues since then.

[@CountryLifeEngland]

I used to live in a house that was built in 1865. It creaked, cracked and banged day and night. Lights turned on and off, so did the taps. It was scary at first but eventually became home for 4 years. I must admit I was quite happy when I left. 👻👻👻

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy watching your videos. May the lord bless and protect you Robert in the 140 year Byrd house

[@carolparrott1994]

Blue seems very comfortable in the house, so that's a good sign, right? I don't usually disagree with you, but I have to this time - you've never had a paranormal experience? In an abandoned place? Didn't you crawl out from under a house backwards one time because you heard footsteps above you in an empty house? I would rate that paranormal, since it really couldn't be explained. I am proud of you for investigating the noise of the metal detector falling over this time, especially in light of your priceless reaction when it happened. Glad you made it through the night!

[@JB-zo7ln]

If the dog is relaxed that's always a good sign. If they are visibly worried or barking at things that's when you need to be concerned. I stopped doing doing things like this several years back after I had a very bad incident happen at one of the places. I never used to be afraid, I never was worried for my safety, and I never felt uncomfortable in the least but until something pretty crazy happened to me. But that's a long story and for another day.

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

Bare in mind, when changes are made in any place, spirits are checking it out. You're never truly alone. When I ended up living alone, I felt my parent's come & go.

[@barbaraaly6186]

[@robertburns3014]

I'm glad you spent the night there in your farmhouse, Robert. You have a real jewel in the property, and getting to know every nook and cranny of the house will help you in the rehabilitation process. Personally, I don't think you have anything to fear other than human beings bent on doing something they shouldn't be doing there at night to avoid detection. Anyway, thanks for the interesting video!

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

Wow Robert. What a night for you .

[@karenchilders2449]

So you're saying, when you were under the house in the woods and we heard footsteps, you didn't think that was paranormal? Lol!!!

[@debranelson1987]

The Old Byrd Farmhouse looks warm and inviting in my opinion and with the care and renovations you are providing it will be more so.

[@judytaylor4133]

I'm very open minded, I believe our life does not end when we are put into the ground or cremated, the person we are moves into our spirit form, I have seen my Dad the day before the anniversary of the 5th year of his passing he didn't speck, he was setting on my couch across from me, and I said hi daddy you ok, I love and miss you, he stood up and I said thank you for visiting me, he walked right pass me I could feel the movement of air as he walked by, walk into my kitchen and disappeared. I wasn't scared, I felt love and it was very comforting to me.

[@genevarobles-su3vx]

For those who have given their lives to Christ who are truly saved redeemed and a true child of god soon we shall see god face to face there's a heaven and there's a hell!

I live in a 109 year old house. My house has no ghosts. But, the house across the street does. Her name is Mabel. She turns lights on and off. She fell down the stairs and died in that house. She never married, and had no children. She's fun. I have a friend whose house was part of the underground railroad. That house has a poltergeist.

[@debk9889]

Lol, for not believing, you were scared of ghosts😅. No, just kidding, most are afraid of the dark. Just so you know, spirits exist all around us. Not that they'll show us. Goosebumps can be a sign of a presence, too. You have a great friend in the dog, they sense spirits much better than us. If there was something there, he would bark or show fear, neither happened. Also, you may have residual sounds that repeat like footsteps. It's in the products of the building. Especially if you have any lime in your cement or elsewhere. It's like a tape recorder. It will take the cries, screams, laughter, footsteps, etc., of the past and repeat over and over. That is not a spirit. Well, this was fun. Good luck and God Bless!

[@robertb4881]

I recall you and Mr. Dan had a paranormal experience with someone walking on the floor you were under. Yes, looks like you had a lot of fun at the Old Byrd Farm.

[@MichaelNelson-xs4oq]

Your house definitely looks spooky at night but nothing I would be afraid of. The only thing I would worry about is an animal coming in while sleeping but usually animals stay away from humans. I like old houses with the history and the beautiful architecture and craftsmanship that doesn’t exist today. I live in a house that is almost as old as yours. Mine was built in 1883 and only had one small addition in the kitchen back in the 1920’s. My house looks spooky at night too. My girlfriend refuses to sleep overnight because she says old houses scare the daylights out of her even if I turned on all of the lights. She has watched too many horror movies. I’m glad that you sleeping in your house went well. In your situation it’s more like camping.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I love that fireplace mantle in your ‘spooky’ room. It reminds me of folk art. This is going to be a fine house when you get it sorted out and restored. Keep up the good work, Robert!

Hey Robert you need to get a couple of those cellular game cameras and set them up inside to detect motion and see if over long term if anything odd goes on at night!

[@candacedolan4857]

I keep my mind open to the idea of an afterlife and visits by family members that have passed. I have hoped over the years to see one of my family members but to date it's never happened. I show respect by not denying their existence and welcoming a visit. You are very lucky Robert to own the farm. I would just caution you to keep an open mind. Love your videos.

And I had friends tell me it was haunted cause we had a long driveway, from the road you could see a light. It was a night light my aged grandfather had. I couldn't believe people thought we were haunted from that! Course they never heard the window banging in the wind that sounded just like someone walking in shoes outside my bedroom door.
