investigation:
This investigation (March, 2008) was originally going to be of a different cemetary, but we wanted to make sure we had permission first. So, we decided to go to a bridge in the middle of nowhere dubbed "Suicide Bridge".
Suicide Bridge is a very cool sight on a misty moonlit evening. It is something out of the most cliched horror movie. The bridge itself is very short and surrounded by bushes and trees. Flashlights were mandatory for this investigation.
This time it was me with Jackie, Satori Soul, Paul, Dennis and wife and Jackie's outgoing friend Christine, who is really cool and fun. I finally had my digital recorder so I could get EVPs. I also brought my camera. Satori Soul and Chris took video.
I don't really need to say that there's a story about someone commiting suicide on that bridge, do I? The name is pretty self-explanitory. I didn't do a lot of (ok any) research, so I don't know the backstory. I just know that Jackie had been to the bridge before and got some EVPs, including banging coming from on the top of the bridge when no person nor car was even around.
The creepiest thing about the bridge were the spiders who had their webs there. They weren't black widows, but they were ugly, then again, I've never seen a pretty spider. Jackie was talking to the potential entity when her meter spiked suddenly. We were not sure if this was because there was an electrical source or not.
We went down to the bottom of the bridge and it was even creepier. I could hear cows mooing in the distance which could be mistaken for moaning. We thought we heard a disembodied voice. I am not sure what it was.
We were done with the bridge but we wanted to go somewhere else so we went to Oddfellows Cemetary. It's a small cemetary that is also in the middle of nowhere. The graves are very old. Some date back to the 1800's.
At one point Jackie thought she saw a shadow figure on Satori Soul's camera, but he said it wasn't. Nothing else happened.
evidence:
I didn't get anything on the bridge. At Oddfellows I recorded a weird "Hmm-hmm" sound when Jackie was talking about a grave. It sounded like an owl, but I don't remember there being any owls there, so I thought it was weird. It just couldn't be classified as an EVP though.
Jackie got a few EVPs on the bridge. I am not sure what was going on there.
personal conclusion: (Please note this is MY personal conclusion, and may not be the same opinion of the other members of the SPIRIT team) I noticed right away that outdoor investigations have more noise interference than being inside, and they make everything harder to determine. My conclusion is inconclusive because I couldn't prove or disprove that there was anything paranormal in either place.
