We began an investigation into Pleasant ridge cemetery, better known as thirteen stairs, after hearing rumors that the grave yard was haunted by evil entity's. My initial goal was to dispel the roomers as soon as possible, as I have found that when a grave site is believed to be occupied by evil entity's vandalism will soon follow. After two visits we are sure their are no evil entity's at this cemetery, however we believe the cemetery is occupied by at least two entity's possibly more. The info below is data we collected from our second visit.
On 9-30-2000 we spent about four hours at the cemetery. The weather conditions were windy with guests up to 20 miles per hour the dewpoint was in the low 50 with a relative humidity in the mid 30s and the sky was partly cloudy. after sunset the winds diminished to the point were they were no longer affecting the cemetery. With the low humidity and dewpoint water condensation would not be a problem, allot of the ghost orbs I've seen were nothing more then water droplets in the atmosphere or condensation on the lens.
We spent the first hour scanning the cemetery with E.M.F detectors and thermal scanners and taking infrared photos, we found to hotspots and decided to focus the remainder of our time on one of those spots, it was in this spot that I came into contact with a cold spot touching the left side of my face, the E.M.F detectors was pointed at me at that same moment and spiked.
We set the recording equipment where the cold spots were and the photo equipment about ten feet away. I was using a Minolta x-700 35 mm camera, a 28 to 80mm Minolta zoom lens with a red filter and Fuji 400 I.S.O color film. I used a red filter because I knew that the photos would come out completely dark and any dust spot or dirt on the neg would stand out as a bright white object in the pic. any thing that appeared red would have been out side of the camera at the moment of exposure. I shot 24 shots with the camera mounted on a tripod and focused on the location of wear the cold spots were of the 24, 20 came out pure black while four came back with red orbs.
One of the infered pics, no abnormalities
were captured on infrared.
