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.

While walking from the slaves building
to the house we captured the voice of
a little girl.as you here us walking you
hear a little girl say hi,then she
says"I'm gonna get ya"
Could this have been Mary Elizabeth?.
While in the house Rick was trying to
get Mary Elizabeth to respond. Here
Rick asks what;s your favorite game
to play?,and you hear a little female
voice say "A haunting",
This was captured while walking to the
grave site from the house. Here you
hear a female voice saying "heres how
I'm gonna get people
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?".
