Paranormal Conversations are random, off-the-cuff discussions on all things paranormal. On this 21st Paranormal Conversation, we are joined by our listener Clint Hopper. Clint lives in the small town of Troy, Tennessee and his family's roots are deep here. We talk history of the town, Civil War history and battles, some dark history connected to the treatment of blacks after the Civil War, Clint's unexplained experiences at a historic cemetery and slave quarters on a plantation and since Clint is a coon hunter, we couldn't help but ask if he has run into any cryptids out there in the Tennessee wilds. He had a couple of chilling stories about that. We also talk about a World War II hero who was from Troy and just recently passed. If you love southern history, you are really going to enjoy this!

In Part 2 of this week's show, I'm joined by PGA Tour Caddie and in my opinion the best player in the history of the state of Tennessee Kip Henley, and one of Golf Digest's Best Young Teachers in America Eva Rogers. Kip Henley has a tremendous resume. As a junior player, he won the Chattanooga City Prep Championship and the Ewing Watkins Award for being the most outstanding junior golfer in the city. In college, he was an All-Southern Conference player at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He later became a Class A Teaching Professional and taught at a few local clubs before becoming a Tour Caddie. His playing accomplishments include: The Tennessee Assistant Pro ChampionshipTennessee PGA Section Championship 4 timesTennessee State Open twiceTennessee Player of the Year 5 timesWon The Golf Channel's Big Break II in 2004He added the Tennessee Senior Open Championship in June of 2023. He is a fantastic Caddie and has been on the bag for players like Steward Cink, Vijay Singh, Austin Cook, Brian Gay, Boo Weekly, and Grayson Murray. Kip takes us back to last summer when he won the state Senior Open Championship doing it in honor of his mentor and a staple in Tennessee Golf Warren Huddleston, who passed away. He also shares stories from his time caddying for Brian Gay including their 10-shot victory in the 2009 Heritage Classic. Eva Rogers was named by Golf Digest as one of the Best Young Teachers in America. She is also a certified US Kids Instructor. She teaches at one of the most historic courses in the country, Medinah Country Club just outside of Chicago. Medinah has hosted several majors including 3 US Opens, 2 PGA Championships, a US Senior Open, and the 2012 Ryder Cup. She is a bright star in our game, doing great things. Eva shares what it's like to call Medinah home and the great membership they have there. She was recently selected to serve on the 2024/2025 PGA Lead Team and we hear what they are working on. We also discuss how she keeps her junior players engaged and enjoying the game in a Tic Toc, immediate gratification world. She reflects on Nelly Korda's current historic run and the call she received from Illinois House Representative Jennifer Sanalitro regarding Eva's success in a male-dominated industry.

In this episode, we explore a book that was written in 1804 with the descriptions of each of the 15 US states (it's 1804) and several selected countries. These books are really interesting because they worked as proto travel guides. As new immigrants were coming to the US, books like this one were very influential in where these new immigrants would settle. These books laid out the description of the state, some statistical data, the geography, climate and even the temper and manner of the inhabitants. Since we are located in East Tennessee, we choose to focus on that state and what we found out about our state in 1804 was jaw dropping!    Please help us out by leaving a comment and sharing our show with others!    Don't forget to Subscribe, Comment & leave us a rating and review.

In this episode, we talk about a type of artifact called "Battlefield pickups." These are items, related to a specific battle, that were discarded by the participants, collected by the locals, and repurposed into some other tool or use by the locals scouring the aftermath of the battle for things they could use. This is a pretty rare genre of artifact, but we have several examples we have and will discuss.

In the 1980's, a group of historians ranked all Tennessee governors in a list from best to worst. William Gannaway Brownlow came in dead last.
