McVay Cemetery
September 6-7, 1997
rating: 8
To start off with, the members who attended this investigation, were Me, Wes, and Robert. We parked accross the street as usual, got out of the truck, walked across the street and just as we were about to enter the cemetery, we all just stopped. Me and Wes were the veterin Ghost Hunters of the group. We both made the observation that We had never, Never seen the cemetery this dark feeling and looking. It looked like pure anger. We both said that we never felt this UNwelcomed in the cemetery before. I have to tell you honestly, it was frightening. Nevertheless, We kept on. Before we even stepped into the graveyard i saw physical activity, with my own eyes. Now the activity i see may differ slightly from what others may see or the common conception of activity would be, but, this is what i see. I saw the outline of things, kinda like i would see something moving but only see the outline of a shape of the object. Maybe thats just a gift i have or something but I DIDN'T and do NOT hallucinate. Normally our investigations take about an hour and a half or so. This was so eventful tonight we used enough film in about 1 half hour. As we walked through the cemetery (very slow) we started getting use to the angry energy and started to concentrate on what we came here for. Through out the night we heard twigs snapping from like twenty feet away from us. No animals in sight. After a while I had an idea. It is always good to send out posotive thoughts and such when hunting, so... i thought maybe i could try to "one-up" it. I began talking outloud to the spirits that might be listening. Explaining to them what our intentions were and all our goals were that we were seeking from them. As i was talking, the energy lightened from the darker side and entered a more of a "mutual kind of respect" kind of mood. (that is the only way i can explain it, sorry.) I kept on talking and more and more activity started up slowly. I really want to get these pictures developed soon.
On the way out, we walked along a stone trail, we all stopped to take a picture, but the stones behind us were still bing disturbed after we stopped moving. Like someone was walking behind us. That was a strange feeling definately. But we kept going and talking outloud. It became very comfortable talking after a while and i found myself doing it still after i ran out of film. I don't know. It seemed to lighten the Mood. It worked for us, it might work for you. One of the oldest rules of cemetery ghost hunting, is to send out a posotive "vibe", well, to me, that is the most sincere form of "good vibeness" as i could give out. Honesty - who knew? anyway, i hope we get some good pictures soon. I want to take this moment to apologize. I have not been keeping the pictures on the site as updated as it should be. This problem should soon be fixed. We SHOULD have 3 new sets of pictures from 3 seperate investigations, posted on the site. They will be replacing the original 4 pictures that are found there. I am thinking of putting the originals in there own pic gallery. All old pictures from then on can be added to it. A seperate site for each investigation. That should look nice. Anyway, thank you again for your help in keeping our site functioning! We just want to share our findings with the world. They can label it whatever they want: fog, light, lense malfuntions, etc. Whatever. With out true beleivers, even "ghosts" couldn't stand to hang around in such a closed minded world.
Hunt the Truth Always,
