HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Don't you just love this time of year? The kids had a hard time going to sleep last night, so excited to dress up for school - the class parties, the parades and oh - the goodies! So much excitement! A group of us went to the local spook alley and had a great time! This kind of spooky is so much fun!

A group of us, including a 'non-believer' (he called himself that, and it stuck!) went to the Goshen Cemetery to take some pictures a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Non-believer had a great time!! He brought a high tech digital (I think) video camera to get some audio recordings ... he is still going over the material, I will ask if I can put some of the results on the site when he is done. We got some pictures in the Goshen Cemetery and heard some crazy things, and decided to go out to Eureka... I don't know why that is such a fun place to go. While in the Eureka Cemetery we actually did get out of the car and got some GREAT pictures. The orbs were there again, explained to us as dust... some were pink and red... would the camera be able to differentiate the color of the dust particles? I will have to look into that, too. We walked around the streets in the town and peaked in a couple of windows, I want to ask around and see who owns the abandoned buildings on Main Street and get permission to go in (DURING THE DAY) and take some pictures, make some recordings and just really look around.

Here are some pictures from that night...

This is in the Goshen Cemetery... there is an orb up high on the picture.



This orb was taken while arm in arm with Rachel. She took a picture seconds after this was taken, it's almost identical, except - the bright orb has moved over to the right. I'm going to see if I can walk her through uploading a picture from her camera for this site!!



This is one of four pic's from Eureka (my batteries died moments after entering the Cemetary) in the top middle there's a translucent orb - pink in color. Again, I will have to get pictures from the other people who were there who got better ones than this.



We are going to go "on tour" next summer and need some suggestions of interesting sights to visit and investigate!! These need to be legal for us to get in and within a driving distance for a weekend. Let me know~

Eureka, October 12, 2007

I left Eureka last time (in August) feeling a little disappointed because I, well - WE never got out of the car in the cemetery. We were a little unnerved by the town itself. Everything except the liquor store was boarded up and closed down. I guess there are a couple of stores on the main road that do open on occasion, but I didn't know that until Joel took me back there. I kept telling him that "Yeah, I know that it's not really that far away, but when you go over the little mountain pass on Highway 6, it's seriously like you've stepped into another dimension." I also thought that I had talked it up too much and that it wouldn't live up to the hype; leaving me open to mockery - again!
The whole reason Joel wanted to go, Porter Rockwell's cabin was moved to Eureka and there is a geo-cache on/in/at the cabin. We decided to go to the cemetery first, so it wouldn't be too late. We arrived at the cemetery around 7:45 p.m. and it was already dark, thanks to the tipping of the planet. Joel had asked me if I was going to get out of the car this time, and being we were about 15 miles from the place, I said "Sure". Well, I was lying. I didn't realize I was lying until we physically entered the cemetery. We both agreed that it was the craziest place - EVER! I don't really know how to put it in words but, it's a pretty big cemetery with each family or individuals plots being fenced off from others with chain link fence, racks from the back of a pickup, industrial type fencing that one would purchase from IFA or some place like that, chicken wire, cement curbing or just some medium sized rocks. It's like a puzzle that doesn't want to fit, each 'piece' is trying to be different from the others. The puzzle pieces are decorated with bits of tinsel, windmills, solar lights, statues of animals (dogs/cats/etc.), and some flowers. Needless to say, neither one of us got out of the car. We drove through and around it for a while, but never feeling quite secure enough to get out of the car.
We tried to find 'Silver City' which is a real ghost town, so much so that we couldn't find it. Our GPS read that we were right on top of it, but we couldn't see anything - AT ALL! So, we went back to 'town'. We parked the car at Porter's Cabin (yeah, we're on a first name basis now - we're pretty tight!) and got out to walk around. We walked along the main road and I was taking pictures of the boarded up stores, all the while having the feeling that if I got too close to the open windows, someone would have their face pressed up against the glass. I did get some good pictures and we had a great time. I was, again, so glad to get through that mountain pass and back to civilization!!
ENJOY!!!

Payson Cemetery

I think, besides the Eureka Cemetery, Payson is next in line for me as being the most spooky. (So Far!) It's very dark, only 2 entrance/exits and sort of unknown to me. We have gone there quite a few times and it wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd trip, we would dare get out of the car to take the pictures, before this, we would drive around and take them "on the move". So, here are a few of my favorites.
This one looks like a shadow man... keep in mind that there was no light behind me, just the light from my camera flash!!

This one is taken out the window of my car... I like that you can see orbs, with some white mist

Look... up in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plain - it's a ....?

I just thought this headstone was funny... no disrespect - but "Luke, join the dark side!"

These orbs were behind us on the road... there are quite a few like this. I think they enjoy our company!
