HAUNTED CEMETERY-GHASTLY SOUNDS GHOST HUNTING BY INFRARED

TURN UP YOUR SOUND ON 1ST PART OF NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
The Otterbein Cemetery is said to be haunted by several ghosts including figures that pop up and vanish. The ghost of a young calm man has been seen standing by the Walnut Street entrance to the graveyard. He seems to watch visitors approach, but then disappears before people can speak to him. A house across from the cemetery is haunted by a friendly ghost-that of a beloved grandmother. People see shadowy human figures that suddenly vanish.

The most haunted part is the cemetery's largest mausoleums. A dark shadowy shape is most often seen here. Another ghost is said to enter a sleeper's dreams and take them to this cemetery.

The cemetery was investigated during several nights using an infrared camera. On one night ghastly sounds could be heard, although they were faint. I didn't try to figure out what the sound was. There is a dark, steep, thickly wooded ravine on the west side, where even by daylight a person can tumble down the long Alum Creek River bank and catch poison ivy, so I didn't go looking. The sound was faint and some distance away. At first I thought it was a screech owl, but after replaying screech owl sounds, I'm not too sure, because the screech owl sound contains trailing trilling or wavering notes and this sounded more like screaming. When I heard the sounds in real life, they were faint and I was surprised that the camcorder picked them up. I heard sounds at approximately: +1:52, 1:56, 2:00 +2:04 2:08 +2:18 2:22 +2.26 +2:28 and +2:34 on this video (the ones with a + in front seemed louder.) At 2:04 I said, "You can definitely hear a spooky sound" and paused between the words "hear" and "a" for the sound. The timing of the sounds did not seem to be that of a standard police, emergency, or fire siren.

Another interesting sound was a quiet roar, while I was filming the inside of the mausoleum in the dark. A few streaks flitted across the video. An s-shaped thing turns into a swirl at around 3:02/4:58. I, of course, don't know what a ghost looks like in infrared, but maybe I'll figure out how to look for them after I film some more. The last part of the video shows a ride through the cemetery on a foggy night.

Otterbein College was founded as the Otterbein University of Ohio in 1847 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and was named after a church co-founder, Philip Otterbein, a participant with Martin Boehm in the "Great Meeting" that took place in the Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania historical markers say it was during the "Great Meeting" that the first American-born religious denominations began--the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the United Methodist Church. Otterbein was noted for its abolitionist stand. Otterbein's Benjamin Hanby, who is buried in the graveyard, was the songwriter who composed "Darling Nelly Gray" and the Christmas carol, "Up on the House Top," among other well-known songs.

The graveyard is located by Alum Creek along an Underground Railroad route, which continued on to Africa and Mt. Vernon, Ohio. This route was also notable for its relationship to Dan Emmett, who wrote "Dixie" among other classics, and lived in Mr. Vernon.

The mausoleum was built in 1923. Its interior was constructed of beautiful Vermont marble and its exterior is composed of Bedford Stone. It has seven cathedral styled stained glass windows that contain symbols of the seven major world religions. Its stained glass windows are very beautiful, but don't show up well from the outside.

***Part of a Series To Be Continued***

More investigation will be conducted on this and other cemeteries. If anyone knows what a ghost filmed in infrared looks like, please let me know.

That sun symbol & halo above the door is Masonic!!! What camcorder were you using for night vision?? is it an sd card one???

[IrenaScott]

@ghosthunternumberone I think a Sony DCR-TRV320 camcorder was used. Loaded it to the computer using firewire.

[855h0le]

PLEASE let me know what OTHER Videos on this tpoic you have out of the 491. Most on YT are Bhit and I like this one as its real. SO what others? Thanks!

[IrenaScott]

If you think Otterbein Cemetery is wierd, find the cemetery on the east side of Hoover on Walnut St. at Cubbage Rd.

[IrenaScott]

What haunts it?

[AmericanMale1953]

You will be devoured by the ghost monster before Halloween! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!Heh, heh.....

[ryanmarzan]

guess if there's no ghost.. then there's no alien either...

[peterinfamilyguy]

Irena, I must say, you're very brave. Standing alone in the middle of a graveyard really requires some balls.. (See what I did there?) haha

Naw but this is a pretty awesome video. LIKED IT :)

@IrenaScott ghosts or spirits. not the beverage

[GoalkeeperAC]

what kind of guy takes a Camera and goes to the cemetery at night ALONE??

[MRTOSH2011]

Did anyone notice that sort of orb thing what most skeptics always say are insects at around 2:29 but if you look closely straight after orb incident there is also a sort of ghostly figure which is walking towards the camera! It almost looks as if its a drunken person but it could not be possible as the uploader would have mentioned it for 1,another reason it seems to me like an old sort of woman walking with almost a limp did anyone else spot it? Thumbs up if you did! thanks good video MRTOSH

[masonicbrother688]

@ghosthunternumberone no its not a Masonic symbol it looks very close but is not near correct.

[lazercrash32]

@855h0le i noticed that also!...too long to be a moth or a bug...very interesting on that one

[ghosthunternumberone]

@IrenaScott Oh right, cheers! My laptop does'nt have a firewire socket, so i cant load from tapes, it's a nightmare trying to find SD card camcorders with night vision, the one's i've seen have been useless so far! So i ended up modifying one, but it;s still not that great!!
