Back To Haunting Investigations


I have very little information on this site. What we do know is Benjamin Hanby is buried here. He wrote the Christmas song " Up On The Roof Top ", his grave is marked with an Ohio historical marker. The activity reports on this location are of "Shadow People" running through the cemetery disappearing behind graves. I have visited this location many times it is with in of a block of where I live. When we did our actual investigation of this sight it was very active all of us witnessed the "Shadow People" we did not want to disturb any of the grave sites out of respect so we tried to stay on the path as much as possible. Of course it was near impossible a few times to stay on the path.

The lighting in this area is very sparse three street lights  and one light outside of the main mausoleum. Now of course its kind of hard to capture "Shadow People" Using a flash so we plan to revisit with our IR cameras. As far as other equipment we got nothing on audio and Strange EMF readings. We use a Tri-Field EMF detector. We had a null reading around the entire place, we did register large EMF spikes in spots we had early went through and read null the highest EMF spike we recorded was 53. Below are the pictures from our first official investigation. Because of its closeness there will be a lot more posted on this location hopefully we will be able present some hard evidence.
