Results of our 2nd 30-Day Investigation
at the Hillside Cemetery in State Center, Iowa
The Night Watchman and Christina M. Schumacher (Meide) did a second 30-Day investigation at the Hillside Cemetery in State Center, Iowa. Using the same mapped out area as previously used, we went the full 30 days from 9:00 p.m. to 9:10 p.m. each night and made sure we kept track of all the necessary areas that are considered important in the paranormal investigating field: weather, geomagnetic field, solar rays through NOAA, gauss meter readings and IR thermometer readings.
We've placed the "simple" results below, but you'll find chart links at the bottom of the page.
We took 24 photos per night for a total of 720 photos.
372 photos showed Orbs.
We captured 26 amazing Orbs.
98 photos showed "fair" Orbs.
248 photos showed very poor Orbs.
In 30 days of this investigation, we had 368 EVP's and 26 "amazing" photos.
If you've viewed the results from the first 30-day investigation (found under Entertainment on the homepage), you will see that we only recorded 12 EVP's the first time around. Now, look at the stats above... 368 EVP's in 30 days. Quite a difference!
As for the photos, the amount of "amazing" photos from the 1st investigation is16, so we are a bit further ahead there. However, what we termed "fair" orbs, though larger in number than the 1st investigation photos, were truly just "fair". In other words, nothing to write home about.
We started out the first investigation with the theory that going to a location for a period of time might allow us to have a relationship with the spirits that might be visiting the location at the time, thus giving us better photos and EVP's. We had some really amazing photos in the 1st investigation, but very little for communication. This time around, we had a great deal of communication and very few "brag" photos.
It appears that the spirits did not mind us taking a break between the two investigations. The fact is, we spent 60 days in one place and came out with some incredible evidence. Of course, there are those who will say that an EVP doesn't mean anything if it is not directly in answer to a question that's been asked, but we do not agree. As far as we are concerned, if the whisper or voice on the recorder is not ours, then it's "someone's voice" and worth paying attention to. Are they "spirit" voices? No one can say for sure, but Hillside Cemetery does not have any houses around it - the closest being about 1 mile away, so chances of picking up voices from telephone lines or whatever the speculations are on this, is nigh impossible. We feel that it may be possible that the veil was lifted just a bit more on this second investigation than we had been allowed the first time. Are we building a relationship? It is possible.
