A pre-investigative meet and greet with Troy Taylor will be held from about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at
the Super 8 Conference Room in Potosi, MO where everyone can meet Troy Taylor in person,
purchase various book he authored and get his autograph or books signed.

Then the all night investigation will begin about 8 p.m. and conclude about 4 a.m. Historic and
Haunted locations include the Long-Banta Home, Austin-Milam Store and the Old Presbyterian
Church. More on these locations can be found at www.historicpotosi.com

different building. Everyone will have the opportunity to investigate with Troy Taylor and
various investigators of Paranormal Task Force.

This event will sell out very fast. The early-bird cost will only be $75 a person if paid by
January 1, 2009. If you are interested in attending this limited event before it gets sold out then
email PTF at events@paranormaltaskforce.com to RSVP your spot. A registration and payment

Harney Mansion Overnight Ghost Hunt
October 3, 2008 -- 8:00 P.M. to Sunrise (October 3 Now SOLD OUT!)
New Scheduled Date - June 6, 2009 - 8:00 P.M. to Sunrise
332 South Mansion Street / Sullivan, Missouri

Join author Troy Taylor for a Haunting Overnight at the Historic Harney Mansion in Sullivan,
Missouri. We'll spend the entire night searching for the reported ghosts, learn about its rich
history and trace the footsteps of famous owner, Union Civil War General William Harney. Is this
1856 home really haunted? You may just find out for yourself on October 3, when we give a
limited number of ghost hunters the chance to experience the mansion for themselves. This
event is not for the faint of heart and children are not allowed. Flashlights are required!

More About the Harney Mansion:

Union General William Harney was one of the best-known military figures in America at the time
of the Civil War. He had already served in Florida during the Seminole War, then fought the
Sioux Indians out west in 1855 & 1856, but his role in Missouri during the volatile time before
the Civil War almost changed the course of history. Missouri took a neutral stance at the start
of the war, which caused fighting between the secessionists and those loyal the Union. General
Harney was in charge of the Federal Arsenal at St. Louis, but radical Union men wanted Captain
Nathaniel Lyon, an ardent abolitionist to take over the role. Lyon was given the authority to arm
Union-supporting St. Louis citizens to protect the city, but Harney refused to allow this, but
Harney was called away to Washington, leaving Lyon in charge. Immediately, Lyon marched on
Camp Jackson, the base for the secessionist militias, and took hundreds of men prisoner. As he
marched them through the streets, rioting broke out and then situation escalated, leaving 28
people, including women and children, dead.

Rioting swept through the city and hundreds fled. Soon after, General Harney returned from
Washington and succeeded in restoring order to the city. The incident, however, had
widespread consequences. At the sight of federal forces attacking state militia men, thousands
rallied around the Southern cause, joining the Confederate Army. General Harney tried to
broker peace in the state, vowing that Federal troops would recognize Missouri's neutrality,
but it was too late. The state, along with the rest of the country, was plunged into war.

General Harney purchased the mansion in Sullivan in 1872, several years after the war, as a
summer home. The house had been built in 1856 by local physician Dr. Alanson W. Leffingwell.
Harney added to the house, duplicating the original structure’s design and material, and used
the mansion as a summer retreat from St. Louis until 1884, when he moved to Florida, where he
died in 1889. The house remained in the Harney family until 1896, after which it changed hands
several times. In April 1984, it was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. But by
the early 1990s, the structure was in disrepair. In 1998, the Friends of the General Harney
House formed to try and save the structure and have been working to restore it ever since.

Over the years, there have been many eyewitness reports of anomalous moving light in the
mansion, as well as full-figured, glowing apparitions that have been seen in the windows.
Footsteps have been reported, as well as smells of pipe tobacco and a lilac perfume. Others
claim to have been touched by unseen hands in the house, as well. Some researchers have
called this "one of the most haunted spots in Missouri". (Thanks to Greg Myers for Additional
info on this site)
