The OES visited Camp Chase Cemetery on November 10, 2001. Camp Chase was a Civil War camp established on May 1861. While the camp originally was much larger, today it is about the size of a football field. Camp Chase was a training camp for Ohio soldiers, a parole camp, a muster-out post, and a prisoner-of-war camp. More than 150,000 Union soldiers and over 9,400 Confederate prisoners passed through Camp Chase between 1861 and 1865 when the camp was closed. All the buildings were dismantled and the wood was used as markers for the 2,260 Confederate prisoners buried in the cemetery. The first memorial service was held in 1895 and a history of the camp was written in 1906. The memorial arch was erected in 1902.

The cemetery is also said to be haunted by The Lady In Gray. She is believed to be Louisiana Ransburgh Briggs, who in life, would go into the cemetery late at night to place flowers on graves of the fallen Confederate soldiers. It seems she has continued to do this in death. At the tombstone of Benjamin Allen of the 50th Tennessee Volunteers, fresh flowers mysteriously appear on a regular basis. Crying has also been heard on many occasions. Once during a Civil War re-enactment, many participants heard the crying, followed by a huge gust of wind that blew over tables and tents. Many believe it was The Lady In Gray.

On the day we visited, there was a flower on Benjamin Allen's grave. We got odd EMF readings in various areas, mostly near tombstones. Who knows, maybe The Lady In Gray was there that day, but we didn't experience anything unusual. During a return trip to Camp Chase Cemetery on October 14, 2006 to film a story with ABC/FOX NewsCenter, we did manage to capture two possible EVPs. The first was actually heard through the headphones in real-time, sounding like a woman whispering, but the background noise was too extensive to determine what was being said. The second EVP was captured during OES Founder Jason Robinson's on camera interview. It sounded like a woman or child saying "Who's this?" as reporter Sean Cuellar asks a question. Stop by Camp Chase Cemetery sometime and just maybe you will bump in to The Lady In Gray. For historical photos of Camp Chase, click here.
