This was the first hunt that we really tried to acquire EVPs. We encountered multiple entities in different locations of the cemetery. Footsteps were heard by Investigator Liedahl and myself in the northwest corner of the cemetery. It was almost as though the presence was trying to walk without us knowing because one footstep would fall and then there would be a pause and several would follow and then another pause and another couple. I addressed the being but got no audible reply on tape. That isn't to say that there isn't anything odd on the audio tape though. To clarify, we haven't, thusfar, been actively searching to acquire EVPs and so the only tape recorder we have on site is the micro-cassette I carry for my own notes. At three different points on the tape, my voice has been altered. It's almost as if the recorder sped up slightly to record my voice then slowed again as soon as anyone else spoke. This occurs twice while I was away from the group for some reason and once while I'm describing to the group something I've just visually seen. What's even more curious is that all of the phenomena is on the first side of the tape (I used both sides of a 60 minute cassette) so if I had been doing something to create this phenomena, it should have continued on the second side. Investigator Liedahl and myself were paired for most of the time at the site and heard a second set of footsteps on the opposite end of the cemetery. These steps were lighter, that of a child, we deduced. In surveying the area more closely we found ourselves in an area of the cemetery that contained mostly children.

Final Thoughts
We have had so many different things
happen while at this site on every visit. My theory is that the site is
more active than most because the church that was once on these grounds
burned to the ground which may have been a traumatic experience for the
spirits residing here. I have also come to the thinking that the spirits
we've encountered are unable to cross the bounds of the cemetery but are
continually trying. I can think of no other reason for the ample EMF activity
along it's borders and the almost total lack of contact from within. Although
we don't have pages upon pages of pictures to show, nor do we have video
or EVP footage from this site, I doubt we'll return anytime soon. However,
this site has been what has driven us to go further in this venture. At
some point during our time here, all of my team has encountered something
that made them think and believe a little more. I hope what I've posted
here for your viewing has the same effect.
