The Sibold Effect is a memoir of supernatural proportion. Lay hidden for thousands of years, this truly unbelievable story can now finally be told. Shortly after the purchase of a random piece of property located deep in the Appalachian Mountains, a direct connection to three first generation grandfathers, George Washington, Drapers Meadow Massacre, Cherokee Indians, the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, and more, emerged. During a remodeling project on the property, strange and supernatural events began to occur that were beyond explanation, but all caught on film. The documented evidence gathered suggest the real possibility of ghosts and the existence of an afterlife. These paranormal events also led directly to the discovery of an ancient Indian trail covered in prehistoric rock carvings of unknown origin. This begs to ask a question of destiny; were these important historical, genealogical, archaeological, and supernatural connections all random coincidences and this little piece of Earth was just happened across by chance, or, did it all happen for a reason and by design. This book will answer those questions of destiny and purpose, backed by thorough research and undeniable photographic evidence. The Sibold Effect is where natural meets the supernatural, normal meets the paranormal, life meets the afterlife, and where destiny and folklore turns into reality. It is where there are no coincidences, everything is connected, and everything happens for a reason.
