Loretta Lynn's Haunted Mansion

I am not a Country Music Fan, but when I watched the movie, Coal Miner’s Daughter, I became a fan of Loretta Lynn. I initially watched this movie because I love Tommy Lee Jones.

Loretta did a television special called Loretta Lynn’s Haunted mansion. In this special I learned that she owned the town of Hurricane Mills, TN. Loretta Lynn believes her town is haunted by the Anderson family that lived in the mansion many years ago. She described incidents in which she, her family, people who work for her, and guests to her town experienced being haunted by the Anderson family.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I visited Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. We did not experience being haunted while we were at the ranch, but when I looked at the pictures I took, some really weird things appeared in at least one of them. I do not know if it is the sun, the angle, or…a haunting (I don’t believe in ghosts!), but something is definitely wrong with this picture.


I have used this camera in all kinds of lighting in many different places, and nothing like this has ever occurred. You be the judge…haunted or not…

I don't know about haunted but I see some mist, or cloud around the top of the building. And there are things reflecting that to me look like silos, and there are three of them ranging in size. So, now what is it I was suppose to see? Oh, and there is some of the mist coming towards the gate, at the gate, and coming through the gate. That is ODD! yikes Hmmmmmmmm... I don't believe in ghosts so I can't say if it is or isn't haunted, but I did state what I see, YOU DECIDE!!! bigeyes lol

No, I was standing in the driveway to the mansion. Are you talking about the large opening on the right. I enlarged the picture up to 400% and did not see a face in that doorway. It appears to be farm equipment. What I am referring to is the smokey stuff at the top of the barn and the two strips hanging over the roof on the left.

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, June 28, 2009 9:42:04 PM

I don't see any face either. I put on my glasses just to make sure I was seeing as clearly as possible.lol There is alot of the mist.confused

SummerAngel Sunday, June 28, 2009 9:48:41 PM

Yes, and it was a very clear, hot day. When I enlarge it, it looks like two legs hanging over the left side of the roof.

SummerAngel Sunday, June 28, 2009 10:03:39 PM

I see the face now. That is not anyone I know. I remember walking backwards in the driveway until I could get most of the barn in the shot.

SummerAngel Sunday, June 28, 2009 10:48:08 PM

Mystery solved by sherlock G. Evidentally I did take this inside the tour bus because it looks like I caught the image of our tour guide. She is unlocking the side door for us to enter the mansion in this photo. http://files.myopera.com/SummerAngel/albums/801104/100_0088.JPG -

SummerAngel Monday, June 29, 2009 8:50:53 PM

I don't remember taking any photos from inside the tour bus, and my friend says he didn't think I did either. But, if that is the tour guide's reflection, then the smoke/fog on the top of the barn is probably the same...

Suntana Sunday, July 12, 2009 9:08:51 PM

I was just going to start stating my educated opinion, but now the mystery is solved. Darn!

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:10:48 AM

A mystery isn't really solved until all other possibles are ruled out!sherlock happy

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:59:10 PM

up bigsmile

Suntana Tuesday, July 14, 2009 3:43:09 PM

Photoshop ... when all other explanations fail, chalk it up to Photoshop. lol Just Kidding! jester

The thing is now the crime scene ... Err, ghost scene has been compromised. Now Annette doesn't remember with 100% certainty whether she did or didn't take any Pics from inside the bus. We'd have to put her under hypnosis and have her recall for sure.

Look into my eyes, Annette --- bigeyes
You're getting sleepy ... sleepy ... sleepy zzz
Uh Oh! I overdid it. She really fell asleep.
Now how am I supposed to interrogate her? lol

SummerAngel Wednesday, July 15, 2009 11:18:40 PM

Photoshop ...funny Sunny lol Neither I or my friend remember me taking any photos from inside the bus, but I am almost positive that is the profile of our tour guide in the picture, so I guess I did...

We spent the whole day listening to ghost stories and hauntings in the town of Hurricane Mills, so when I saw something unusual in this pic, GHOST was what naturally came to my small, easily infulenced mind. sherlock Graham quickly came to my rescue and solved the mystery up

Suntana Thursday, July 16, 2009 12:51:05 AM

BTW, Annette, I forget.
DO you have Photoshop? Because I found out how to easily make any image Transparent on Photoshop. I installed it and started messing with it recently. I got my Photoshop 6.0 book that I already had. I looked up Transparency in the index and quickly found what I had been wanting for the longest time. You just use the Magic Eraser.

Okay, so sometimes, depending on the image, optimum results won't be possible. That'll happen if something on the edge of the image is way too close to the same color as the Background that you're making transparent. I found that out on the original High Heel image in Agneta's Blog Header that I was trying to make transparent. The heel on one of the shoes was too light grey and thus, too close to the surrounding WHITE Background. As hard as I tried and as careful as I was, the heel just kept getting wiped out too instead of just the surrounding white.

So, if you don't have Photoshop and need an image made transparent, just let me know.

SummerAngel Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:08:03 AM

Sunny, I do not have Photoshop. It is not something I thought to add when I purchased this computer, but I would like to have it. Did yours come with your computer, or did you purchase it separately?

Suntana Thursday, July 16, 2009 2:18:02 AM

Nah, it didn't come with my computer. A friend gave it to me several years back as he really had no need for it. He thought I might make some serious use out of it cuz I was creating a lot of Illustrations for Procedures at the time. I tried it for about a week at the time, but with being so used to Windows Paint, combined with my impatience, I rather quickly went, "Ehhh, I can't use this. I have no need for it." So, after subsequent Windows Reinstalls, I just never installed Photoshop again. I kept it in a box in the closet.

But, recently that I was REALLY wanting to start utilizing Transparency in images, Layers and whatever other Design Goodies I could discover, I decided to dust off my Photoshop and give it another whirl. The 2nd time was the charm. And I haven't even gotten to read the book and experiment yet. I'll really be dangerous then. lol

SummerAngel Saturday, July 18, 2009 6:22:51 PM

Hi John (thehulk2), great to see you here. http://files.myopera.com/SummerAngel/files/welcome.gif - to my beach.

When I originally posted this picture, the pair of floating legs you pointed out on the left of the barn roof is one of the things that caught my attention. Also, there appeared to be some sort of smoke coming from the two windows at the point of the barn.

Of course, I had not noticed the face in the doorway above the wooden gate that Graham pointed out

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Saturday, July 18, 2009 6:34:42 PM

It Does make one wonder! Cool picture.smile

SummerAngel Saturday, July 18, 2009 7:04:36 PM

I agree yes The picture is spooky and cool...no matter what/who/why the cause.

SummerAngel Saturday, July 18, 2009 7:56:47 PM

While on the tour, our tour guide warned us that many visitors reported having ghost like images in their pictures. These images were not seen during their visits to Loretta's town, but did appear in their pictures.

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Saturday, July 18, 2009 8:00:18 PM

Even ghosts like to have their pictures taken!p lol

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:50:20 AM

Well D,'Casper' was too shy to appear on the day of my visit, but maybe he was friendly enough to show himself in the pic lol

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 9:42:34 AM

I'm sure that's him floating up there around the windows.p lol bigeyes

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 9:58:37 AM

Could be, since Casper is shy and his Uncles aren't.eek lol

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:24:09 AM

They certainly do yikes lol

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:45:05 AM

lol jester

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 2:19:31 PM

And...Casper's mean uncles plastered the profile of our tour guide in the doorway after I posted the pictutre so I would look like an idiot. jester lol jester

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 2:36:24 PM

I'll go with that. GOOD ONE Annette!!!p lol lol jester

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 2:37:01 PM

BTW You could never look like, or be an Idiot!!!up love

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 2:38:51 PM

Looks like I gave you the day off when I posted this pic as possibly haunted and missed the profile in the doorway. So, I've earned the 'idiot' title...at least for that day. p

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 2:42:12 PM

Not Idiot, just blind!!!left lol

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:01:08 PM

You are too kind to me D. lol I wasn't expecting that response from you. I was just taking a drink of my Coke when I read it, and nearly choked to death laughing. angel

Now Hulk, you are too sweet to be both an idiot and blind, so you'll have to pick just one. p lol

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:11:08 PM

According to D, so am I...Isn't it great we can still see well enough to blog??? jester p

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:29:45 PM

Maybe I should start training mine now while I can still see good enough to teach her to read. cool bigsmile

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:43:22 PM

Give her time. She's probably more eager to learn than most humans. yes

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 3:52:56 PM

She'll get it right when she wants a treat bad enough. That is, if you don't give in and let her have one just because she looks up at you with those sad little puppy dog eyes.

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 4:04:54 PM

You poor things. cry We should be ashamed of ourselves. p angel

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 4:10:17 PM

Spending those "ill gotten gains" wouldn't be nearly as fun without us shameless women. wink p lol angel

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 4:33:21 PM

My daddy called me his angel, and summer is my favorite season. Maybe you will trust me in time. angel

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 4:46:56 PM

Go ahead and watch your wallet and car keys, it's the big $$$ in the bank account that I'm after wink

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:18:40 PM

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:21:24 PM

yuck I don't like spiders and snakes. Just my luck I would be too late for the big $$$. wink lol

SummerAngel Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:22:53 PM

I think the hulk is holding out. p

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:38:22 PM

I think so too. He probably has the big bucks in a Swiss account, under an alias so no one will find out. devil p lol

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 5:46:36 PM

Oh well, Money isn't everything, it's just really helpful to have. I myself am happy if my needs are met, and an occasional luxury is afforded. My hubby says I'm easy to keep happy in that sense.smile

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes Sunday, July 19, 2009 6:59:11 PM

lol lol yikes no I have been with him for 27 years, and I'll be staying right here by his side for the next 27 years, God willing. yes happy He is indeed my life partner!love
