The Octagon House, located in Simpson County Kentucky just north of
Franklin, was built in 1843 by Andrew Jackson Caldwell. During the Civil War,
Andrew Caldwell offered shelter to many Confederate soldiers being a
confederate sympathiser. The Caldwell's owned 62 slaves and many were
buried on the property inside a circle of trees. The Caldwell's daughter Mary
Elizabeth, died from burns suffered from catching her dress on fire in the
winter kitchen at the age of 5 or 6. A confederate soldier who was wounded in
the lower leg and was being hidden in the attic from visiting federal troops
bleed to death when he removed his boot to help ease his pain, he also haunts
the attic and house. The COPRG investigated the Octagon hall for ten hours,
and bellow are some of the evidence we captured there.

Here Rick is reading a sign on the
back of the Octagon house and a
female says "need some rest".
A confederate soldier died in the
attic while being hidden away by
the Caldwell's from Union soldiers.
It is said he doesn't like anyone
coming up there, so investigators
Jesse and Bruce climbed up to find
out. Here as they're getting into the
attic they captured a male voice
saying "not good now".
Here Rick and Nancy were begining
an investigation of one of the
bedrooms when they caught this
creepy breath.
While at the slave cemetery, Nancy
and Rick caught the voice of a little
girl saying "sleepy".
Again in the dinning room Rick is
talking about a display of a civil
war fort and a female voice
comments "that's funny?".
