Moravian Cemetery in Winston-Salem, NC
This post is a
long time coming. For some reason we
kept forgetting to write it up, perhaps due to our excitement over catching an
unexplained digital image in the Moravian Cemetery called Bathabara God’s Acre,
in Winston-Salem, NC. This particular
cemetery has come to be an annual retreat every Halloween for the past several
years. The cemetery itself is nestled
atop a hill over a sprawling tract of land that was a Moravian settlement
established in 1753. Each time we visit
this cemetery we get unexplained EMF spikes, experience eerie feelings, see
extraordinary sights, and record sudden changes in temperature. This is one of the most active sites that we
have visited. Although we have never
received any intelligent communication from any unknown entities, we did
capture a compelling photographic image this past October on our annual
visit.
Before getting to
that, let me tell you about some past experiences in this delightful little
burial ground. We stumbled across it
quite unexpectedly one day while visiting Bathabara Park several years
ago. We followed a trail up a hill, and
to our delight, we stumbled across God’s Acre.
We spent some time exploring the cemetery and both of us sensed an odd
feeling at one section of the cemetery just near the path from where we
entered. Since then, we have had that
same feeling, a feeling that something is about to happen, whenever we stop
near that same path. We have also
recorded numerous EMF spikes in this area of the cemetery. We decided to return on Halloween night and
have done so every Halloween since.
On our first
Halloween visit we encountered a group of cloaked individuals, all in black,
who appeared to be conducting some ceremony of sorts in the cemetery. We walked around and never interacted with
them, but the feeling was something I cannot describe beyond saying it was one
of unease and discomfort. As we exited
the cemetery on that first Halloween visit, two of the individuals from the
group were walking ahead of us on the tree lined path to the parking lot. I snapped a quick photo of them as they
walked ahead of us about 30 yards or so. Later that evening we reviewed the
photos we took and nothing stood out except for one photo which was eerily out
of focus – the one I took of the two individuals on our way back to the car. Perhaps it was user error, but it was strange
to find that all the photos I took that evening were crystal clear, except for
that one.
On other trips we
have detected EMF spikes around a certain grave, that of a teenager named
Charles. We would call Charles by name
and conduct EVP sessions, and while we never received any vocal responses, we
do always get unexplained EMF spikes near that particular gravesite. As always, we look for any source for the EMF
readings, and have found nothing to explain the readings on the meter.
Now to the good
part! Finally, this past Halloween
(2016) we made our annual visit and as we approached the archway to the
cemetery I began snapping photos. At
that time, we were the only persons in this small cemetery. While taking these photographs, I noticed
nothing out of the ordinary either through the view finder or with the naked
eye, but when we got home and checked our photos, we were stunned at what we
captured. See the image below:
Look behind the bush located in the centermost of the
photo. There appears to be a person,
perhaps two, standing a bit in the distance behind that bush. The one to the right looks to have a yellowish
looking hat upon its head. I can truly
and without hesitation testify that there were no other living souls in that
cemetery when I snapped this photograph. Regretfully, I did not snap two
consecutive photos – I have learned my lesson and now whenever I take a photo
like this, I take two consecutive shots so that I can compare them. I also did not review my photos before
leaving so that I could try and replicate the scene, rather it was only after
we had returned home and began reviewing the photos on the computer that we
found the anomaly. Had it not been so
late at that point, I would returned to the cemetery to take another
photo. We did go back a couple of weeks
later and I took multiple shots from that same vantage point, but could not
replicate the image. We also explored
the area where the figure or figures appear to be standing and could not find
anything that would explain the image. Once
again, I cannot say for certain that this was a spirit, however, I have no
valid explanation for what it was if not a paranormal entity. Once again, we leave it to you to decide for
yourself. Faithfully and truthfully, I
am,
Dickens
