Forgotten Places Society

Nearly two decades of clearing shadows, preserving history, and helping beauty bloom again. Because the wildest flowers grow in the roughest dirt.

From paranormal investigations and urban exploring to spreading hope, healing and spiritual wellness through stories, art, photography,music and more.. Forgotten Places Society is a soulful, small-town brand rooted in nearly two decades of paranormal research, history, urban exploration, and spiritual storytelling. We began in 2006 as a paranormal investigation team — chasing shadows, preserving h

istory, and holding space for the things most folks overlook. Over time, we’ve witnessed lives changed, shadows cleared, and faith restored. Today, our journey continues through a blend of art, photography, energy work, and handmade natural items — shared at festivals, markets, and wandering road trips across West Tennessee, North Mississippi, and North Alabama. From dark hallways to open-air fairs, we now bring our stories, experience, and the same spiritual tools we once used to help countless families, individuals, and businesses clear their spaces, restore peace, and cleanse what lingers unseen. Our mission is to honor the places that once mattered, hold space for the people who still do, and spark spiritual revival by helping others rediscover beauty in what’s been left behind. And sometimes, the forgotten just need someone to see them again.

This photo takes us back to our very first White Squirrel Festival on July 4, 2020. The world was in the middle of lockdowns, everything felt uncertain, and we had no idea where the road ahead would lead. We just knew we loved history, exploration, meeting people, and sharing stories.

Fast forward to today, and that little beginning has grown into nearly 20 years of Forgotten Places Society—a journey filled with unforgettable places, incredible people, community events, music, art, folklore, and more memories than we could ever count.

This weekend we’re coming back to the White Squirrel Festival in Kenton, Tennessee, and we’d love for you to celebrate this milestone with us! Stop by our booth, say hello, browse our newest creations, swap stories, and help us celebrate two decades of adventure.

Here’s to where we’ve been… and to all the forgotten places still waiting to be discovered.

We can’t wait to see y’all this weekend! 🌻✌️

🌻✌️ Attention Earthlings…

The official Forgotten Places Society Hippie Bus has arrived, and our highly trained driver has informed us that today is a perfect day for good vibes, local shopping, and wandering around a farmers market.

We’ll be at the Savannah Farmers Market today from 9am–2pm with gemstones, original art, handmade goodies, natural air fresheners, and all the colorful roadside weirdness you’ve come to expect from us.

So grab a friend, grab some sunshine, and come hang out for a while. Life’s too short to spend the whole day staring at a screen.

Come find us. The cat says so. 😹🌻✌️

Dude, let me tell you about one of the creepiest legends I’ve ever heard.

They call him the Flat Man.

According to the story, he doesn’t come through doors. He doesn’t need to. He’s so impossibly thin that he slips through cracks in windows, slides between shadows, and presses himself flat against the walls where nobody notices him. Some people say you’ll hear him before you see him—a faint tapping on the window late at night when everybody else is asleep.

The creepy part? Every time you turn on the light, there’s nothing there. But the second you switch it back off, that feeling comes back. You know the one. That weird feeling like somebody is standing in the corner of the room watching you.

Bro… imagine laying there at 2AM, staring into the darkness, trying to convince yourself it’s all in your head. Then you feel the edge of the mattress move. Not much. Just enough to know something sat down beside you.

You pull the covers up. You don’t move. You don’t breathe. And then you feel it…

A cold breath on the back of your neck.

Maybe it’s just an old story.

Or maybe tonight, when you hear that little tap… tap… tap… on your window, you’ll remember this post and suddenly sleeping with the lights on isn’t such a bad idea after all. 😳👻

Most prisons don’t have bars.

They’re built from fear.
Old wounds.
Regret.
Comfort zones.
The stories we keep telling ourselves about why we can’t change.

The hardest cage to escape is often the one we’ve carried for so long that it feels like home. But here’s the beautiful truth…

God didn’t create you to live trapped by yesterday. He didn’t create you to spend your life staring at an open door while wondering what freedom looks like.

Sometimes the next step isn’t a giant leap of faith. Sometimes it’s simply taking one step toward the light. The door is open.

Forgive yourself.
Release what no longer serves you.
Trust God with what comes next.

The same Creator who paints sunsets, grows wildflowers through cracks in stone, and places stars in the heavens is still writing new chapters every day.

Freedom begins the moment you believe it’s possible.

Sometimes I think we’ve forgotten how magical this world really is.

We rush through our days, stare at our screens, and worry about things that won’t matter a year from now... while above us, entire galaxies are being born. Stars are shining from distances we can barely comprehend. Sunsets are painting masterpieces. Life is quietly unfolding in ways we’ll never fully understand. Maybe that’s the miracle.

Maybe we’re not here to have all the answers. Maybe we’re here to stay curious, stay kind, and stay open to the wonder that surrounds us every day.

The universe is vast, beautiful, and full of mystery. And if you ask me, that’s a pretty good reminder that we’re part of something much bigger than ourselves.

Keep your heart open. Keep looking up. The best things in life are usually found by those who never stop wondering.

Peace. Love. Wonder. ✌️🌻✨

✨🌻 Never stop believing in miracles.

Sometimes miracles aren’t burning bushes or parting seas.

Sometimes they’re the sunrise you almost missed.
The phone call that came at just the right time.
The healing that happened one small step at a time.
The friend who showed up when you needed them most.
The strength to keep going when you thought you had nothing left.

The world will tell you to be cynical. To expect the worst. To stop believing in anything you can’t explain.

But life has a funny way of surprising us.

Keep your heart open. Keep your eyes lifted. Keep planting seeds of hope even when you can’t see the harvest yet.

God is still working in quiet places. Love is still changing lives. And miracles still happen every day

for those willing to see them.

Peace. Love. Faith. Wonder. ✌️🌿

Back in the UT Martin days, we found this absolutely cursed doll in some random little thrift store off a backroad… and I’m pretty sure it stared into our souls first. 😂

Meanwhile one member was over there LOSING IT laughing while I stood there holding what looked like the final boss of antique stores. Honestly? This photo perfectly captures the chaos of our college years — bad phone cameras, weird adventures, questionable decisions, and somehow always ending up in places that looked straight out of a ghost story.

Anybody else ever find something in an old store that immediately felt… nope? 😅

Somewhere today, an old friend is being remembered.

Not with fireworks or noise… but in quiet moments. A folded flag. A worn photograph. Dog tags in a drawer. A story somebody still tells with tears in their eyes.

Memorial Day isn’t really about celebration. It’s about remembrance. About honoring the people who carried burdens most of us will never fully understand so others could live free beneath open skies and peaceful sunsets.

And maybe the most human thing we can do today is slow down for a minute… breathe in the wind, feel the sunlight on our face, and remember that freedom was paid for by somebody’s son, daughter, brother, sister, or best friend.

So today, love a little deeper. Hold your people closer. Look up at the sky and thank God for another day to live, laugh, heal, and keep moving

forward.

Peace. Love. Remembrance.

Throwback to a paranormal investigation back in 2014 when the real supernatural event was this absolute UNIT of a fluffy dog slowly walking into our downtime circle like he paid rent there and fully expected tribute in the form of chips and sandwiches.

Meanwhile we’re sitting there reviewing evidence, talking spirits, weird noises, shadow figures… and this giant cloud with legs is staring at us like, “that’s cool and all, but y’all got snacks or what?”

Honestly? 10/10 emotional support cryptid. Would investigate haunted locations with him again immediately.
