Family Christian Ashmore consisted of his wife, mother, two adult daughters and a son sixteen years old. They lived in Troy (new York state) and was a wealthy and respectable people.

In 1871 or 1872 Asmoro family moved from Troy to Richmond (Indiana) and a year or two later, in a neighborhood of Quincy (Illinois), where Mr. Ashmore bought a farm and settled on it. Almost next to the house was a stream, which flowed clear cold water, where the family took water for domestic use at any time of the year.

On the evening of 9 November 1878, about nine o'clock, the young Charles Ashmore was sitting near the fireplace, then he got up, took a tin bucket and went to the Creek. Since he hadn't returned, the family began to worry. Approaching the door and opening it, the father called the son, but received no response. Then he lit the lantern and with the eldest daughter Martha went in quest. A light snow fell, and on the footpath there were traces of the young man — each track was clearly visible. A little more than half way, about 75 meters, father suddenly stopped, he raised his lantern and began to peer into the darkness.

"What happened, father?" — asked the girl.

What happened next: traces a young man suddenly broke, and then was smooth, untouched snow. The last footprints were as clear as the previous ones, were visible even from the recesses of nail heads in the snow. Mr. Ashmore looked up. Stars glittered, the sky was cloudless, what he saw was beyond explanation. Beating away the last traces to leave them intact for further investigation, the man went to the stream, followed in a moment the feeble and the frightened girl. Both were silent, shocked by what he saw. The stream was covered with ice for some time.

Morning light did not reveal anything new. Smooth, clean, untouched first snow lay everywhere. Four days later the grief-stricken mother went to the Creek for water. When he returned, she said that, passing by the place where the trail ended, she heard the voice of the son, and immediately began to call him. She thought the voice came from one, then from another direction, then she was exhausted. When asked what he said to the voice, she could not answer, however, argued that the words were heard quite clearly. At one point the whole family was PA this place, nothing heard about the voice thought it was a hallucination caused by the anxiety of the mother and behold frustrated nerves. But months later, through unequal time intervals, a voice heard several family members. All argued that it was undoubtedly the voice of Charles Ashmore. All agreed on the fact that he came from a great distance, was barely heard, but with a distinct articulation, but no one was able to determine the direction, or to repeat what he was saying. Periods of silence became longer and longer, and the voice weaker and more distant, and by mid-summer it is no longer heard.
