I have ignored poor Uncle Fielding’s website of late to work on my autism sites, but I did see this a few week ago and wanted to comment on it. I would LOVE to visit the Hurst Mansion Haunted House, but I have learned not to get my hopes up with anything related to this […]

(Hurst Mansion shrouded in ghostly fog. Tennessee Hauntings )
I am not a ghost hunter, but seem to have an appreciation of Purdy in common with ghost hunters. Even I was impressed with the ghostly fog, assuming Cheech and Chong were not standing just out of frame.
Tennessee Hauntings has some great, new, current pictures (at […]

The title of this post sounds like a bad Harry Potter novel. I just love running across posts like the following. It just goes to show how whacked out some of the stories about Col. Hurst have become in the time since his passing. Lots of these stories involve Fielding being murdered […]

These are some pictures taken on a trip to Purdy, TN to visit the Hurst Mansion some years ago. At this time, the property was owned by the county and they were investigating turning it into a museum. Those plans fell through and a new owner owns the property. Apparently, this owner […]

OK, I enjoyed the ghost story posts a few weeks ago on Halloween as much as the next guy, but I really didn’t think much about it. Then today, I saw the new blog post on Kevin D. McCann’s site, Proof of a Ghost in the Hurst Home.
Kevin received a picture from Randy Lute […]

The Fielding Hurst Guru of all gurus himself, Kevin D. McCann, author of Hurst’s Wurst, weighs in on the “Ghosts of Purdy” article in his blog post, McNairy County’s Boogeyman.
The front page of yesterday’s McNairy County Independent Appeal had an article by Russell Ingle entitled “Ghosts of Purdy.” It’s a seasonal piece that ties […]

In the spirit of Halloween, I am posting a couple of stories sent to me by Alan Murray. This one is by Russell Ingle and ran in the Independent Appeal on 10/24/2007. While some facts in this story may be off (myth and mystery concerning Col. Hurst is not new) or confederate propaganda […]

Despair for the children
who lie now in bed.
The widow, the aged
the soldier who bled.
For out of the "Nation"
comes a sickness and curse -
God save us all
From the demon called Hurst.
Like vandals of old
through our land they did ride
With Hunger and Death
always close by their side.
Came Terror, his herald -
but the wailing comes first . . .
We know he is coming,
That demon called Hurst.
