Ghost Hunt
After getting our asses kicked in AoM we headed off to north Plano to a little cemetery that Tracy knew of. She had been there before and knew it to be haunted. We took a digital camera, a digital camcorder and Tracy had a disposable camera. We got to the cemetery around 1ish without too much trouble finding the place. I felt the need to say a prayer before roaming around a cemetery at 1:00 in the morning, but everyone else pretty much just started roaming around.
I started up the video camera and switched it to "night shot", unfortunately for half the time I didn't turn the auto focus off and most of the film really isn't very good. Matt took the digital camera, but when he had trouble taking pictures and getting the flash going, I think the girls took it away from him…hehe. The cemetery is quite old, but unfortunately the urban sprawl of Plano has moved in rather close to it. There was a ton of lights from cars and buildings, which made trying to see anything rather difictult.
Tracy felt a lot of activity, being touched and seeing apparitions. She mentioned feeling children around her legs, something knocking the camera around when she tried to take pictures. Susan (my wife) didn't really report much and neither did Matt. I didn't see anything or experience anything. While I was there I felt really calm and peaceful, but around 2:40 or so I started to feel like it was time to go…this could have just been my nerves finally getting to me or it could have been the spirits saying "we appreciate your visit, but it's time to go now". Interestingly Susan felt like she wanted to stay. On the way out I though I heard an extra footstep in the grass for just a moment, but that's hard to substantiate.
The pictures and video came out poorly. We only got two or three good pictures with the digital camera and I fooked up the video. A few of the pictures show lots of orbs, but as it was pretty windy and we were in a big field, I'm pretty sure they were dust. One picture has a mist in it, but as there was a bit of smoking going on, well I'm afraid it's cigarette smoke. We're planning to do it again and hopefully we can go about it in a bit more scientific fashion and get some better pictures/footage.
