Summary
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO
The Haunted Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville, Virginia, carries a history steeped in war, tragedy, and lingering spirits.
Originally built as a luxury railroad hotel, the building’s purpose quickly changed during the Civil War, when it was converted into a receiving hospital and triage center for wounded soldiers. More than 70,000 soldiers passed through its rooms, and hundreds would take their final breath within its walls.
After the war, the building returned to its life as a hotel—but stories of strange activity and unexplained encounters soon began to follow. Over the years, reports of paranormal experiences, along with darker events tied to the property, only deepened its reputation as a haunted location.
Kristy Summer of Soul Sisters Paranormal joins us to share the chilling history of the Exchange Hotel and the spirits many believe still remain.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to part two of our interview with Christy Summer of Soul Sisters Paranormal about the haunted exchange hotel. |
| 0:08.3 | Let's go into the investigation and the night that you go in there after the initial daytime walk through. |
| 0:14.7 | How do you get set up? |
| 0:16.2 | What are you, what's that like? |
| 0:18.1 | What are your first experiences in that investigation evening? |
| 0:22.8 | Well, we go in with a couple of different legends and reports in mind. |
| 0:27.8 | There were, again, there's those four suicides that I mentioned with the nurses that couldn't |
| 0:32.3 | handle it. So we kind of wanted to see if we can make contact with them. |
| 0:35.6 | There were also reports of two children that were in the house. |
| 0:38.5 | One is a girl by the name of Emma, and one is a boy by the name of Jeremiah. |
| 0:43.4 | So we had trigger items such as glow in the dark balloons. |
| 0:47.4 | We had some glow in the dark balls that we were going to use to try to interact with them. |
| 0:54.0 | And we also had reports have reports again of the major |
| 0:56.5 | in the summer kitchen and a couple other apparitions that they either attribute to being doctors |
| 1:03.0 | or soldiers the entities of soldiers that remain in the house so we basically set up cameras in every room of the of the house, night vision |
| 1:13.5 | video cameras. And then we left voice recorders in most of the rooms of the house and the |
| 1:20.5 | main house. And then in the summer kitchen, we had three night vision video cameras and two voice recorders that were set up, and they ran throughout the night. |
| 1:31.0 | So when we go to these locations, we set up everything initially, and then everything runs for the duration of our investigation. |
| 1:37.9 | So whether or not we're in the room, we have those things running. |
| 1:42.4 | We also have body cameras on, so we can monitor where we are all at and we can get a time stamp |
| 1:49.0 | of where we're at. |
| 1:50.0 | And so with that in mind, we started our investigation that night and, you know, we did, like I said, we used those trigger items. |
