Historical Pocahontas Haunted Walking Tour Saturday June 6, 2013

Black Diamond Paranormal Society in cooperation with Historical Pocahontas Inc. will be hosting a Historical Haunted Walking Tour located at Pocahontas, VA on Saturday June 15, 2013 starting at 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. each tour will begin at the top of each hour tickets are $10.00 per person $5.00 for 12 and under.

Join us for a historical haunted walking tour of the past as we guide you through the Historical Pocahontas Cemetery that was created due to the March 13, 1884 Pocahontas Mine explosion that claimed the lives of over 114 miners and children known as “door tenders, mule drivers”. The Pocahontas Presbyterian Church had reports of shadows being seen, the Pocahontas Fuel Building were a man was shot and killed for reasons unknown today, Dr. Ballard's Building where he treated many of the townspeople, and reports of unspeakable acts have been reported, but never confirmed in the upstairs apartment above Dr. Ballard's office. As we walk you through the
history of this once bustling coal town of over 12,000 in its heyday, we will
also share BDPS’s previous experiences from investigations of each location
from a time long forgotten.

Bring your cameras, video recorders and audio recorders and don't forget your flash lights!

Weather appropriate dress.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

I would like to thank all that came out to Pocahontas VA today and help make the Historical Hunted Walking Tour a success. It was an amazing day for the walking tour, and an honor to meet all that participated. Thank you all for sharing your photos and your personal experience on the tour like I’ve said many times to many people that have asked the question can you have any paranormal experiences during the day and my answer has always be “yes” and today everyone that walked the tour had some type of experience whether it be in your photos that your captured something that we was unable to explain or your personal experiences of being touched everyone experienced something special today and it is always a great feeling when we are able to share these experiences alongside all of our new friends.

I also would like to thank the Historical Pocahontas Inc. board members and members that agreed to Black Diamond Paranormal Society (BDPS) to represent the towns amazing historical sites for giving us the opportunity to show case such fantastic historical sites during the tour. This event could not have been possible without one man’s belief in BDPS and that man has always had the best interest of the Town of Pocahontas and without his hard work and dedication this tour would not have been possible. Thank you Tom Childress from all of us at BDPS for trusting in our organization, being our historical guide and friend of Pocahontas VA.

Special thanks go out to the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office for their ongoing work with the Labor of Love.

Saying thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough for the BDPS Members their hard work and dedication to BDPS and our local communities surpasses all expectations of any group. Time and time again these people never let me down they are more than members of a local organization these people are my family and without them there would be no Black Diamond Paranormal Society. I would like to thank each one for your sacrifices to making BDPS what it is today and doing an amazing job with today’s Historical Haunted Walking Tour: Mike Brown, Jason Kwun, Michele Crigger, Robyn Dalton, Jeff Dalton & Scott Osmundson along with the BDPS Family Amy Shortridge, Dakota Shortridge & Dallas Shortridge.

We look forward to next year to give you the opportunity to experience the Historical Haunted Walking Tour.

Thank you,

Rodney Shortridge
