The cemetery and church has a great story behind it and we’ve been able to verify the story through records supplied to us through the present owners.

The story goes that in the late 1700’s there once stood a meeting house /school on the property of the cemetery. Several of the townspeople’s thought the teacher and some of the students were practicing black magic, so they burned the building down with the teacher and some of the students inside. Reportedly, the teacher and those students burned to death.

In 1825 a church was built in its place. In 1854 that too caught fire and burned to the ground. A new church was built in its place, but this time it survived and is still standing to this day. The church is not in use any longer, it’s just an empty monument to its tragic past.

It is reported that what remained of the teacher and the students are buried in the adjoining cemetery. The church and cemetery are in a rural part of Georgia, and is surrounded by woods.

The reports of the haunting from residents and amateur ghost hunters include; Loud, clear, but unintelligible voices, apparitions, or as called by local residents, walkers, are seen walking the road in front of the cemetery and church, sometimes taking a human-like form, sometimes in the form of animal-like creatures, claims of loosing time are experienced, and people say that they hear horse hoofs galloping past the cemetery.

On our very first visit, only a few of the team members went to the cemetery just to check things out before we came back to do a full investigation. I had my audio running, and another member had a digital camera. We got out of the car which was parked on the side of the street across from the cemetery, and while we were standing there, I was telling the members with me about the reports of hearing and seeing animal-like creatures coming out of the woods and going after people. At that time, there was a noise in the woods, and one of the team members remarked in a joking manner that the rumor was true and a creature was coming after us, and we laughed. I said, “it’s most likely an animal moving through the brush.” Imagine my surprise when we went through the audio later and heard an evp that said, “you wish”

A week later we went back to do the first of the ongoing investigations. I’m a sensitive myself, and we have a team member who is a clairvoyant. One of the strange things is that in this cemetery, and only in this particular cemetery, when she sees the spirits, they are surrounded by a bluish glow. That’s how she describes it. She doesn’t know why, and she’s never seen this before at any other time or place.
Evps: these recordings were captured over many months, and using several recorders.
In one area of the cemetery, there’s a large moss-covered tree. Myself and two other members were near this tree and the feeling of being watched was intense. All of a sudden, there was what seemed like a loud growl in my left ear. All three of us heard it. I felt the need to leave the area immediately, and did just that. I’m not going to lie, that sound got to me. I was excited to find this sound on my recorder, but instead of a growl, it sounds like speech in a low male voice. I have yet been able to make out what it says.

A few of the photos we’ve taken have showed a mist, the first one was while myself, Deb, our clairvoyant, and another team member were walking toward the front of the cemetery. She and I both felt as if someone were walking behind us so we were snapping photos behind us.

Another was taken by the large moss-covered tree when I took a photo of a team member.

There’s been many strange occurrences that we just have not been able to explain away. We are still doing investigations at this cemetery and have filmed it all, which is included  in the documentary

Many of the "mist" photos were taken during the summer months.
One of the things we were able to debunk was the sound of horses hoofs galloping past the cemetery. What people were actually hearing was the sound of tires going over a bridge in the distance, which did indeed sound like galloping horses. Now as for the ‘time loss’ we’ve been there many times, and have never experienced this at all. That’s one thing in my career as a paranormal investigator that I have never experienced.

There’s been a few things that have happened during these investigations that we haven’t been able to explain away. One such thing was when myself and Deb were sitting down on a bench and she was seeing an older man standing in front of us. I sensed someone, but I don’t normally get to see. We both remarked at the same time that movement was occurring. She stated that the man was coming toward us and had circled around toward my side of the bench. At the exact same time, I was stating that I just saw a black mist go in the same direction.

On one occasion we witnessed what some call "spirit lights" or "cemetery lights" This was very fascinating and the first time any of us have seen this. We were able to catch this both on film and in a photo.
