A certain resident of the United States bought an old house in 2004. Beautiful, multi-storey. Built in Victorian style. This was very fashionable in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By the way, quite a few similar houses were built in the USA. So the New World took over part of the traditions of old Europe. Now all these houses have become the permanent symbol of slave-owning America, in the period before the outbreak of the Civil War. It was in such a house that the famous film "Gone with the Wind" was filmed. Reference: Gone With the Wind is a film directed by Victor Fleming and produced by David Selznick, based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Mitchell. The world's first full-length color motion picture, filmed using the technicolor three-film technology. The premiere of the film took place on December 15, 1939 in the city of Atlanta, where its main action takes place. So this American lives in such an unusual house. He bought it in 2004 from a married couple. They complained that the ghost of a man sometimes appears in the building. The owner's wife had seen him many times, so she happily sold the house as soon as possible. The new owner of the house is a creative and American entrepreneurial personality. While doing renovations in the house, he retained all the elements of the Gothic, Victorian style. In addition, he installed 20 video cameras, which are online, 24 hours a day, broadcasting images from the rooms of the house, as well as showing the old garden. Thus began the great American ghost hunt. The site was very popular at one time. And the author of the project was seriously carried away by mysticism. However, the owner himself never got to see that ghost. And numerous site visitors did not find anything worthy of attention. Until March 25, 2016. Apparently I'm lucky for everything inexplicable and very scandalous. Therefore, I managed to record the appearance of that very ghost. I will say right away that I do not really believe in mysticism. Into mysticism as such. But I believe in science, technology, progress. Therefore, I know very well that digital camcorders sometimes shoot something unusual. This time I recorded the appearance of a tall and thin man in a small room. Wearing a blue shirt. The man approached the fireplace several times and then suddenly disappeared. The piquancy of all this is that the pattern of the carpet on the floor is clearly visible through the person. And his reflection never appeared in the large mirror on the mantelpiece. The owner of the house was at work at that time. In addition, according to his words, no one lives in the house except him and the dog. And this ghostly visitor looked much older,than the owner of the estate. So who was it? There are two very tragic secrets in the house. I'll tell you about them now. Robert P. Prager 45 years old because of disloyal statements against the United States and President Wilson was captured by a crowd of townspeople and hanged at this very tree house. Prager was an immigrant, German by nationality, he worked at home. Was waiting for US citizenship. In April 1918 he walked the streets with a red flag. So he welcomed the revolution in Germany. For this he was arrested, and on April 5, 1918, a crowd of fanatics snatched him from the hands of the police. 300 people literally tore the unfortunate German to pieces, hanging his corpse on a tree at the gate of the house. This is how what is now called "democracy" happened. The second story is related to the death of a soldier. There was a brave and worthy man living in this house. His name was Harry Lepp, years of life 1908-1942. At the age of 34, he volunteered for England. He fought there against fascism. Killed during the war, November 19, 1942. Hit the train in Oxford. In the USA, he worked at the Ralston Purina plant as an assistant chief accountant. He was fond of basketball. He was a member of the Masonic lodge, secretary of the Evangelical Church of St. John's. It was his ghost (in their words) that the former owners of the house saw. It was noticed that he most often appears in the fireplace room and in the library. I do not know which of them accidentally ended up in the fragment I recorded. I don't think it was young Harry Lepp, since the man at the fireplace is much older than 30. I'm not sure if this is a German executed by the crowd. However, one thing I now know is that sometimes the dead return to the world of the living. Especially if during their lifetime they had some kind of secret. Well, my materialism did not suffer from this. Since I noticed long agothat in the world, pretty well, the most inexplicable and mysterious things coexist.
