Darkness Radio presents Holzer's Ghosts - The Ghost That Got Away: The Haunting of Westover Manor
Tonight Dave Schrader is joined by a few #HolzerFiles Super Fans, Sindy Brown & Keelie Gustin to discuss the recent episode of the program and shed light on behind the scenes stories, take questions from the audience!
The Ghost That Got Away - Legendary Ghost Hunter Hans Holzer ventured to Charles County, Virginia, several times researching of one of the Old South's most infamous hauntings, Westover Manor. Delving into the property's storied history, Holzer heard countless stories of the heartbroken spirit of Evelyn Byrd, seen roaming the grounds and heard weeping in the night. However, when Holzer travelled to the Georgian mansion for a full investigation, he was refused entry. Despite never being allowed an investigation, he obsessed over the haunting, while the legends surrounding Westover only grew over the next half century.
Now, decades after Holzer's visit, his hidden case file is finally reopened as paranormal investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza, equipment expert Shane Pittman along with new insights from researcher Gabe Roth and Holzer's own daughter, Alexandra delve into the haunting that got away. However, as the locked gates of Westover are opened for a paranormal investigation for the first time, the team soon finds that the longing spirit of Evelyn Byrd has an unsettling story of her own to tell, and that she may not be the only presence lurking in these hallowed halls.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. You're tuned into the best and paranormal talk radio this. |
| 0:29.7 | This is Darkness Radio Presents Hulser's Ghosts Tonight. |
| 0:34.5 | Hulser files season 2 episode 9, I believe it is, the ghost that got away the ghost of |
| 0:42.5 | Westover Manor. We're going to talk about that this evening on the program and I'll introduce |
| 0:47.5 | my guests in just a few moments. This was a really interesting case because this is one |
| 0:52.6 | of the rare cases that Dr. Hulser heard about this ghost. It was very famous in the Virginia |
| 0:57.9 | area but when Dr. Hulser went knocking, this is one of the stories he went after actively. |
| 1:05.6 | He talked to people around the area who kept pointing him to where this ghost story originated |
| 1:09.6 | from. When he finally gets there, literally knocks on the door, he gets kind of rejected |
| 1:16.8 | in a very polite manner. As you saw tonight, Andrea, who is the granddaughter of the woman |
| 1:22.8 | that owned the home at the time, was very kind but she just wasn't into allowing a paranormal |
| 1:28.9 | investigation. That's not something she wanted to do. Plus, the strange idiosyncrasy of this |
| 1:36.2 | investigation was that people that came to visit the manor had paranormal experiences |
| 1:40.6 | but the people that lived there never did. That's really rare, right? Most haunted house |
| 1:46.0 | stories you hear from the people who lived there, from the people who were experiencing |
| 1:51.6 | the haunting firsthand. What was the mystery of this house? Why would the people living |
| 1:57.8 | there not have an experience but everybody else did? It was the property itself, the house, |
| 2:05.8 | and the outlying surrounding area that would have many different paranormal experiences |
| 2:10.9 | take place. When we were told about this case, it was fascinating because, again, people |
| 2:16.4 | always ask, how do you choose which case files of Dr. Hunsel's or you're going to investigate? |
| 2:22.6 | As I've said, it just kind of comes down to what's available. Is the place still alive |
| 2:29.6 | and standing or is it burned to the ground or been torn down and a parking lot put up? |
