It is not
generally our practice to “investigate” cemeteries.
Although many people assume cemeteries are naturally
haunted, I have only ever had one report and one query
on any cemetery. I think the query was based on rumor,
and some juicy mob stories. If it weren’t for that,
however, I would still be inclined to wonder if there
weren’t something odd going on at this particular
cemetery.
I think there
are several reasons for our lack of interest in this
area but these aside, I will tell you that the BCGHRS
DID check out a cemetery on the North Shore, as we’ve
had a few reports come from there, as well as my own
experiences as a teen.
We received a
few reports a while back on a particular headstone that
is in the Cemetery. Nothing concrete, but coupled with
another report on the same thing, and my own
experiences, we thought this might be a good place to
look around, and try out some of the team’s new
equipment.
This cemetery
is where, as a teen, I had a few of my own strange
occurrences there. I did most of my cemetery “hangings
out” at an earlier age than some. Having a fascination
with cemeteries, I would go there in the middle of the
day with my good friend, Meredith. We occasionally
picnicked there and I even gave her a few driving
lessons as it was at a time when I had been driving
already for a few years and she was almost due to get
her license. It was a perfect area for that, at the end
of a no thru road.
It was during
one of those driving sessions that we both experienced
something decidedly odd. Years before the recent EVP
hype came about, I had seen the movie, The Changeling
and decided we would like to see if we could record a
ghost. What better place to do it than at a cemetery as
we were still of a mind that a cemetery MUST be
haunted. It was one sunny afternoon, we were recording
while driving and when upon playing back the tape, we
heard a male voice say, “No!” right after one of us had
asked the other a question. It was right around that
time when it sounded like something kicked my driver’s
door. Hard. It was a bright day and could see clearly
all around us. We were the only ones at the cemetery.
We saw nothing that would indicate something had hit my
vehicle.
Years later,
two personal experiences and two reports prompted us to
venture up there to have a look and to try out some new
equipment.
We arrived
there at 5:30 pm on a warm afternoon in September.
Kevin took these photos right after I felt a buzz in my
right ear, and Tracey felt as though her ear was quite
rudely tugged. A third member felt that he picked up on
a man who rather felt that women were quite beneath him,
and perhaps felt volatile towards females.
Kevin
proceeded to snap two photos, in quick order, which
reveals the following interesting shots. The only thing
we have done to these photos is brighten them. It was
still bright in the cemetery at the time of these
photos, but because of the trees, the photos turned out
quite dark.
