I would again like to stress that this is private property and trespassers will be prosecuted. The owner caught four youngsters attempting to enter the house and after leaving for the night someone broke a window and entered the house.

I would like to inform anyone thinking about trespassing that the owner of the property is periodically staying at a cabin not far from the house. He will occasionally be hiding out at Hurst House and apprehending those who attempt to gain entry.

If that isn’t enough to deter you, I have another big announcement from the owner himself. IF vandals will leave the property alone so part of the work needed can be completed, he will operate a Haunted House inside Hurst Mansion during the month of October. Proceeds will be used to complete much needed restoration. More information will be provided on this as the time nears.

Hurst House Night Pics – Purdy, TN

Posted in photos, Purdy, TN, tagged a, acroos, and, are, around, at, backyard, bedroom, door, few, from, Here, house, Hurst, Hurst's, I, in, night, of, pcitures, pics, picture, Purdy, quarters, slave, street, taken, the, TN, to, took on May 19, 2008| 4 Comments »

Here are a few of the pictures I took in and around the house at night.

This is a photo of the backyard.

This is a photograph of the slave quarters across the street.

This was taken from the door to Hurst’s bedroom. Notice the orbs on the door facing and between the windows.

This is, of course, the front of the house. Note the large orb on the tarp.

This photo was taken looking down the road towards the New Purdy Cemetery.

This photo was taken in Hurst’s bedroom. The owner had just shut the small attic door and everyone else had left the room. It was completely dark and right about the time I snapped this picture, that door creaked open and scared the life out of me. You can see where it is slightly ajar and there are orbs on and around the door.

There was NO ONE smoking when this picture was taken. Two friends were standing nearby and I double checked with both of them to make sure neither of them had been smoking. If you look beyond the odd mist, you’ll also see a few orbs around the house. (The shiny spot in the top window is a bit of reflective tape of some sort.)

Look at the tarp on the roof.

Taken in the backyard.

This photo was taken from behind the house. This is not the moon. The moon was on the other side of the house.

The bright figures in these photos have a very odd shape.

Just in case you couldn’t see the one in the bottom of the picture…

And the one in the top of the picture…

This photo was taken behind the house.

This photo is of the old barn across the street.

This photo is of the kitchen. I’m not sure if you can see them but there are two small orbs on the cabinet doors.

I returned to Purdy, TN over the weekend and was fortunate enough to meet the owner of the Hurst House and his girlfriend. They are a super cool couple and we had a great time with them. I have tons of pictures to share but I probably won’t post them until tomorrow because there are so many.

I would also like to say this: After seeing the damage that has been done to this house by curious youngsters, it really saddens me. Because of this damage, if you attempt to trespass on this property you will be shot at. Several people have been taken to jail for trespassing. If you are lucky enough to find the owner at the property, ask for a tour but do not trespass on this property. They are attempting to restore this lovely home and vandals are making it very hard to do.

Back to the pictures…

I have some unbelievable pictures but it will take me some time to go through them. I will start adding them tomorrow.

Old Trinity Episcopal Church is located in Mason, TN. It was founded in 1847 in the place of Saint Andrew’s Church, which had burned two years earlier.

For many years, the church was not taken care of and the church and cemetery was vandalized by a small Satanic cult. They broke most of the gravestones, and vandalized the church building.

Behind the church there is a statue of the Virgin Mary which serves as a gravestone for a woman who died in 1912. It is said that this statue bleeds from the eyes and neck.

There are also stories that the church and the cemetery are haunted. People have reported seeing strange lights and hearing noises. Local legend says that the people buried in the cemetery are distressed over the vandalism of their graves.

I have only been to this cemetery once and it was during the daytime. Perhaps I will return some time, but be aware — I have heard that the caretaker has installed trip wires to keep people from trespassing.
