i was just wondering what the sound of a man hanging from a taut rope sounds like. That is a rather descriptive sound however I am not sure I know anyone who has heard it and would know what it sounds like.

i would just like to say that there is no indoor stairwell in the Ezekial Harris house and I was there for about an hour with to tour person and he never said anything about any soldier being hung there and I heard no taunt rope.

WAIT! There is some truth to the story, back in 1779, a man named Thadeus Hardcock lived there. he was married to Vonetta Stankgina (of the Charleston Stankgina’s) Anyway, Thadeus found out that Vonetta had cheated on him with 2 soilders, a goat, a midgit, a really fat lady, a cannonball, an old fashoned wash tub, 6 jars of marmalade, my friend Abu Saeed, another goat, Michael Chiklas from “The Shield”, most of the starting offense of the Tennesse Titans, The dog from “Air Bud” and Paul Reiser….so then Thadeus hung himself…Its understandable because, Paul Rieser is such an unforgiving douchebag, I would have done the same thing. Spooooooooooooooooky!

This house was not built till after the revolutionary war! The house that the soldiers were hung at is no longer there…but the story is true about the hanging. The house was next to the current house.

Fakename is 100% correct to say what he said.
I personally went to the EXACT site in which the purposed hanging took place and re-inacted it with a black man instead of a soldier.

It didn’t work because he didn’t want to be hung. We instead hung one of the local rednecks fron the town and his dog. BAMMO, it worked…we to heard the hanging sounds as the past people did and who knows, maybe all of the people..that is, the Soldier, the local man (from the grocery) & his dog, are all “hanging out” relaxing…Anyway, hats off to Abu Saeed–THE GOAT SUCKER–for a fantabulous depiction of EXACTLY what happened.

Happy ghost hunting.

I agree with Charlie, saying it sucks to hang from a rope for all eternity. Hey, they could have hung him on that rope from some part other than his neck. You know what I mean.

from augusta… house was built around 1789. the stairwell is there ive seen it. there used to be a beam that ran across the stairwell that was used to hang an oil lamp. that’s where they say they hung the guy from. except it was a slave of ezekiel harris, not a soldier. he was caught with ezekiels wife. but i doubt the house is haunted. just a ****** up, sad story

The Ezekiel Harris House is haunted. I have been there several times. The only thing that has been changed from the original architecture is the back staircase has been replaced. I remember going there as a child and hearing the rope swing. Another part of the story that they didn’t get correct is that Ezekiel Harris was a Civil War soldier, not Revolutionary, and was caught by his commanding officer rehabilitating Union Soldiers. They then proceeded to hang him from the thirteenth stair on the back stairwell and at night you can watch a candle flame go to where that stair once was and hear his mother crying for her lost son. You can also hear the rope moving on the stair from where he was hung. If you don’t believe…go there and see for yourself.
