in the picture, Heidi recognized a man with a bandage on his arm and blood on his shirt. According to Catherine Ledford, Heidi had identified
Catherine’s Uncle Lon:
“Lon lived here when he was a young man. He died in 1957 of cancer. And he lost his hand, I would say before he was 20-years-old in a cotton gin
up here in Ellerslie.”
Heidi’s mother Lisa was now convinced that Heidi’s friends were not just figments of her imagination… they were actual dead people:
“When I found out… his name really wasn’t Con it was Lon, it scared me to death because I knew Heidi was really seeing something…”
For the next four years, Heidi continued to encounter the benevolent spirits of the two men—James Gordy and Lon Batchelor—both of whom had long
been dead. Then in 1993, Heidi’s mother became pregnant. Not long after, an evil spirit came to visit. Lisa Wyrick remembered Heidi’s change in
behavior:
“Heidi had never been scared of anything. She had never been scared of Con. She had never been scared of Mister Gordy. But when she saw the dark
figure in our hallway, she was hysterical.”
According to Lisa, the new spirit became a frequent and sometimes violent guest:
“At first we had… talked about moving. But like I told him I said I don’t think it would be so good to move. Because wherever we go, she’s
just got that gift… she’s going to see people from the past, or people that have been dead.”
On February 3, 1994, Heidi’s baby sister, Jordan, was born. Two weeks later, Lisa noticed that Heidi’s other-wordly visitations took a horrifying
turn:
“She had just deep gashes down her face. And it terrified me. I didn’t know what it was. And I couldn’t imagine what could’ve scratched her
that bad.
