This was Sean and Libby Johnson in Chester,Vermont. The show for A Haunting is entitiled "Echoes of the Past", and yes they were on GH. The episode is "Shaow People"- season 3 ,episode 3. I don't remember too much about this one, so I'll have to re-watch it. But I would think that the photo should be of interest to any investigator.

I recall watching this episode of GH and need to watch the dvd again. I don't recall any mention from the Johnsons of a photo  to GH.I know Jay and Grant had the little girls bed shake and a few other things happen.

Also Jay and Grant might not watch A Haunting, so maybe unaware of this first visit from another paranormal group.And of course the home owners may have been keeping the info from GH for reasons of their own.Whether as a test, or to see if they came up independently of  info from the first group.

As far as the Civil War photo and the two little girls.There is an explaination. Don't know how many soldiers are in the photo. Say there is more than one. You have this group of men going off to war, so naturally friends and family go to see them off. If that was the circumstance or conditions under which the photo was taken, it wouldn't be hard for two little girls to accidently get into the photo.

I'd love to see it and especially the clothing on the girls.I love historical costume, and might be able to get an idea from the dress ,etc. if the photo actually was from the civil war era.Now I am no expert, but with old photos I can generally get an idea by the clothing of when a photo was taken,like hairstyles, jewelery, sleeve and bodice design ,etc.Have a photo at home of Greatgrandpa and Greatgrandma Steldt, and she's wearing the big leg of mutton sleeve of the 1890s.They called it that because it was shaped like a leg of mutton.

I really think there is more to the story with these people and the supposed girl ghosts.Strange no one has seen the photo but them.They could have taken the girls to some place where they take vintage photos. You know, they have costumes from various time periods and dress you in them, then take these sepia tone or black and white photos of you in costume. I assume they could find at an estate sale an old Civil War photo, and somehow photoshop or through other means, combine the two photos.

But this is just a wild guess.

As far as the Moss Beach Distillery goes., well it has been on Unsolved Mysteries with the late Robert Stack.

At the time, many years ago, it was owned by a woman and her husband. This couple DIDNOT have all the gizmos in the place.It was after the new owner took over, that they were added.

I myself was unaware of th efact that the new owner rig the place, why because I have never been there.

Other places have had people jump on Jay and Grant, saying well they should have known the place was rigged.And I say no. They don't know how many owners it has passed through since being sold.

And certainly the current owner was not going to tell them about the fake ghostie stuff.Even if their people did research, it is certainl possible some information was missed.

The really sad part is this. GH could have gone in an done an investigation of the place, and maybe found evidence for the Blue Lady.If real, then it would have enhanced the owner's business.

Instead the owner and the Moss Beach Distillery gets exposed as frauds.So people who thought  the place was haunted and ate there for the thrill, now won't come. Then customers start wondering if the owner is cheating them on the bill, jacking up prices,etc, so then others decide they won't come.

So he loses business. There is a haunted restaurant in San Antonio called I think the Alamo Street Theatre. They do plays and have food. It has been on local tv and in a couple of books. It was an old church made into a restaurant theatre, and is haunted by a lady and a little boy, and I think a couple of other ghost.

They do not use any special effects in the place,etc. I would like to eat there some time, but maybe wait till my sister visits  sometime from New York.
