Sometimes, people ask about the sensations we experience when capturing anomalies on film. These are one investigator’s notes from Pine Hill Cemetery (aka Blood cemetery) in October 2001:

“On this evening, I felt far more confident that I would capture something, if only because I was using more sensitive film than previously. However, I also felt more welcomed in the cemetery. I don’t like going to cemeteries alone, not because of ghosts, but because it’s foolish for a woman to be alone in a deserted place, and using a flash camera that may attract attention of mischief-making passers-by.

“This time I arrived alone, but another young woman was in the cemetery, on an evening walk in the countryside. We chatted about the history of the cemetery, the missing gravestones, and then she left while I took the photos.

“I did not feel ‘alone’ in the cemetery this time, but I also didn’t fear whatever was with me. Some stones seemed to attract me more than others, but I was also conscious that I needed to click the shutter at just the right moment, to catch the elusive images. “I left, feeling certain that I had at least one anomaly on film, but sad that I didn’t have more film, because I felt that the cemetery was getting comfortable with me, and vice versa.

“I took more photos with lights in them, but I’m fairly certain they are just reflections of an animal’s eyes in the low shrubs that surround the cemetery. The quality of them is very different from the orbs.

“Next time I will arrive earlier and wait longer before taking photos. And I probably won’t go alone, for normal (not spectral) safety reasons.

“Graves that people are drawn to: I particularly like the headstone of ‘Mrs. Elizabeth’ in the oldest section of the cemetery (southwest corner).

“The young woman on an evening walk commented that she’s drawn to the Farley sisters, whose stones disappeared about seven years ago. Modern markers have replaced those stones, in the southeast side of the cemetery.”
