    It took us a summer to find the 2 old graveyards in the Alma area, one
    is the Park City Cemetary, from the late 1800's early 1900's, the other
    the Alma Cemetary, from the early 1900's to last week. We looked for
    them every weekend. Finally we found the Alma one, expecting it to be
    full of old dead miners...we were wrong, it was full of miner kids that
    couldn't survive the weather and the lack of modern medicine in those
    days. Smallpox, etc. hit often, taking the young more than the old. 
    Some plots were nothing but 6 or 7 little 3 foot long graves of a
    families babies that died weeks after birth. "Here lies baby James, 3
    weeks old" next to "Here lies baby roy, 1 month old", next to "Here
    lies baby walter 1 week old", etc, etc, . As we walked around looking
    at the old headstones (old for Colo) I kept getting this strange
    feeling of being watched and followed. As if by instinct, I replaced
    stones that were out of place, replace headstones that had fallen
    over, and in general did maintainence. As we were leaving, I turned
    before getting in the Scout and Said "All you just stay here where you
    belong, don't get in the scout and don't follow us home, PLEASE!" 
    I think they stayed because of the maintenance we did, whicj we do
    every time we go there.
    
    Next came the Park City Cemetary, all the graves were sunk into the
    ground, only one headstone, of a 3 year old girl who died of smallpox,
    the reast are all marked with wooden crosses, most of them rotted off
    at the ground and lying on top of the grave....the same eire feeling
    came over me as we walked around. Both are littered with what could
    become "souviners", (I have a habit of picking up old mining stuff I
    find, rocks, broken old glass, etc) but this "feeling" wouldn't let me
    pick anything up from the cemetaries. I glad...........

Jamie, Your neighborhood is mighty haunted. You know that graveyard at the 
bottom of your street (Jct of Redstone Hill Road & 62 in Sterling)?

Well, it used to be flat as a pancake.


Hey, and all you New Princeton homeowners: Princeton is the third most 
haunted town in the state after Salem and North Hadley. reallY!

The idea of setting up recording equipment in a cemetary always fascinated me,
even though it seems that spirits wouldn't interact in the physical world such
that they could be recorded ... unless they wanted to ....

    I tried to talk my daughters and some friends into visiting the
    Alma/Park City graveyards on a moonless nite one weekend....no one
    (including me, really) wanted to....whew!

    hey rfb,
       Next time I'm up at Tumbledown,  I'd be glad to for a walk in
    the graveyards.   I've done it aamped out in the past and it is always
    an experience.

    Do hallucinations count?
    
    I've had several inanimate objects speak to me in Disney World, but
    that was due to the obvious....again...;-)

    When I moved into our new apartment last year, I had trouble sleeping
    there.  When I got married and went on my honeymoon, both Sue and I
    slept very well.  First night back at the apartment, couldn't sleep
    (rilly!  We were *trying* to sleep ;^)  Always felt like there was some
    sort of aura to that bedroom.  After months, we finally made the 2nd
    bedroom our sleeping room, which helped......but on a couple of
    occasions I woke in the middle of the night to see something movging
    down the hallway.  The last time was most vivid.....I saw this figure
    more or less floating down the hallway *away* from me.  Since I had
    just woken up and wasn't fully awake, I decided to just turn over and
    go back to sleep.  I was afraid I'd wake up fully and still see it in
    the hallway ;^)  The house is over 100 years old......I always felt
    sure that someone died there.....

    PS: then there was the time I woke up and thought a racoon was sitting
    next to the bed, after I swatted the thing with my pillow, I realized
    it was a lamp :^) :^) :^)

    I think you EAP, Hogan....%^)

    I saw something like this one of those late night talk shows once.
    I forget the exact details, but some guy had made a recording either
    with nothing connected to the recorder inputs, or with something
    connected which was neither a microphone or other normal source.
    He claimed that the noises recorded were the spirits of the dead
    talking.  Sounded an awful lot like a high generation copy of
    Revolution #9 to me :-)

    Graveyards were always a facination of mine.  Found an old one biking
    not too long ago.  Drove through it.  Graveyards are always soo
    peaceful and quiet.  It seems as soon as you leave it, the noise from
    the rest of the world comes filling in.  Walking through graveyards is
    like walking through a vacuum.  Such a somber experience.
    
    My wife has a good "feeling" for the supernatural.  Last time this came
    into play was when we touristing Salem, MA.  I always like to go in the
    "witch" stores.  She is fine in some, but gets the creeps in others and
    we have to leave ASAP.
    
    It's funny how you are always VERY quiet in graveyards and alternative
    (witch type, etc.) stores.

I'd really like to see a graveyard biking, that would be very interesting

:-)

    
    I'd like to see a graveyard do sit-ups!
