The five of us was in the basement, recording for EVP. We stopped to talk about where to go next as we was thinking and looking around we clearly heard with our own ears a younger person say “Hello” (8 sec into track). We looked around to make sure no one else was down there with us. We said hello and hear nothing, then we hear it a second time (37 sec into track). We kept looking for another person or even a stray cat, we found neither.
We are still reviewing some other audio that might have EVPs in the tracks.

Location: Westlawn cemetery
Just down the road from us is Westlawn cemetery in Canton Ohio, the same one that President William McKinley is buried in, this cemetery dates back to the late 1700. This was a cold Oct day - my wife, her sister and I went out with the recorder (ICD-P28) and the EMF meter. We were only out for 45 mins (at that point none of us could feel our hands they we so cold), when we decided to call it a day. I called out last names so If I got anything I could relate it to where I was in the recording - I say "Hake", then my wife says "Bye", then my sister in law says "Bye" followed up with me saying "Bye". We got in the car and headed home. We got home and listened to 43 mins of nothing till the end. All three of us said "bye," followed by a reply "bye" - a fourth one! We all were wide eyed and looking at each other in shock!

My brother in law Gary and I went out on a cemetery ghost hunt. We were there for about an hour and a half, just walking around talking to each other and asking question. We came apone a mausoleum, it was a small one, the narrow metal double doors on the front had turned green from weather and age. The doors had a window that was blocked by bars, but the glassed behind it was vandalized long ago.
As I’m walking up to the door I’m thinking “first thing that jumps out I’m going to jump out of my skin”
Well behind me is Gary, he coughs and sure enough I jump, and I said how he startled me. When we got home and played it back he heard the following as I described then we hear a female saying “Leave us”
I guess she thought we going to vandalized her and her husbands place of rest.

My sister-in-law Carolyn and I went to a very old cemetery, just up the road from us. It dates back to the early 1800’s. We walked around for about an hour. I had the Sony recorder (ICD-P28) and she had the EMF meter, and she was taking some readings around a group of crypts. I was away from her looking at gravestones, reading their names and dates aloud. There was one very, very old gravestone, about 4 feet tall, not too thick, a white stone (like the ones used in the olden days). I kneeled down to look at the date. I read aloud: "1892." After we were done we headed back to my house to see if we heard anything. Sure enough, as I read off the death date at that stone, a little old lady started just before me: you can hear her say "Born…..(then both of us)…1892." What is said after that I can not be sure of?
Needless to say, my sister-in-law says she has found a new hobby.

Location: Navarre Cemetery (Union Lawn)
My sister in law Carolyn and I went out one Saturday going to different Cemeteries in our area. Towards the end of our hunt we went to a Navarre Cemetery (Union Lawn) at the time of this EVP was reading a poem on the back of a gravestone, it was to someone’s wife, from their husband Troy. When we went to the front to see the names we saw that she died in the 1980’s, then we saw that Troy died in 2004.
When the recording was played back later we could hear a woman saying “I’m dead”

Carolyn and I was looking around a group of gravestones (the same ones that we heard the little old lady and 1892) we was trying to get her to speak to us again. We said “The device that we are holding will allow us to hear you when we play it back.”
When we got home and played it back we did not get the little old lady, but a gentleman saying “I can’t believe they're getting us on tape”. By far one of our best ones.

While Carolyn and I was at Massillon Cemetery , all the leaves had fallen from the trees and there was a clean up crew with a leaf blower, strangly enough it acted like white noise and we got this EVP.

Location: Massillon Cemetery
All three of us (Marie, Liz and myself (Brian) were standing next to a mausoleum, at this point of the cemetery investigation no one was talking, just looking around. When we returned home to review the recordings we came across a strange EVP. The sound of a woman humming a short tune came through.

Location: Massillon Cemetery
On March 19th 2005 Marie, myself and our newest member Liz we to the Massillon Cemetery to do our first recordings of 2005, now that the weather is starting to break. As we walked around Liz and I stopped at a mausoleum, last name of Warwick, death date 1892. The iron door was almost rusted solid, from the 113 years of Ohio’s harsh winter weather the stone door frame started to crack, and the pins holding the door in place were starting to slip loose, allowing the door to become ajared. in this EVP you will hear Liz say:
Liz: I want to see in there.
Myself (Brian): You and me both.
shortly after your hear a faint voice reply: Nothing
so one can only guess there is nothing in there.

Marie, Liz and I (Brian) went to Westlawn cemetery in Canton; we recorded for about 3 hours. At one point we was walking up a hill and talking about some of the people that had passed on, calling out their names. Later when the recorder was played back, we hear what sounds like a woman saying “Give him my love”.

Location: Old Kendal Cemetery
On this day Christine, Liz and I (Brian) went to a little local cemetery that dates back to the 1800’s. Long ago this was a small village and with that they had a local cemetery 26 graves in total, surrounded by a wrought iron fence. The graves are only marked only with the deceased initials. The gray stones are very small no bigger then a foot by a foot, and most are no more then a stone slab embedded in the ground.
While we were there we was using our EMF meter, wandering around it only read 00.1 to 00.5 there is no man made power sources close enough to give us a false positive. There was one grave stone that we came across that was totally different then the rest, this one was white not the same stone as the others, this was the only one of its kind here. We call her Jane Doe because her name has been broken off, but we know it’s a woman because the bottom reads “She is buried with her two children”
While we stood there asking question, our EMF meter started to go up. From 00.5 to 01.5 and holding. So we stood there and keep talking, the reading kept going up 02.0, 03.4 all the way up to 04.1 and holding strong, but if we walked away from this stone the reading would drop till we went back and started asking more questions.
One we left and went home to review the recordings we found that while in this area we got 3 strong EVPs a woman and a child. Below are the EVP from the Old Kendal Cemetery.
We will be doing more investigation of this location in the future, more to come
During our research of the cemetery we found out that most of the death dates was carved wrong. Liz was reading off the death date of Jane Doe, as she was saying 1811 you can hear another female behind her voice saying a long stretched ten, so we now think our Jane Doe passed away in 1810.
We found this EVP in the same track as the last one and on top of that this one came about 20 seconds after the 1811/1810 EVP. It sounds like a little boy saying his name, we can only wonder if this was one of Jane Doe’s children.
This EVP was found in the next track, it appears to be a woman asking “Why are you with them?” We wonder if this is our Jane Doe talking to Timmy.

EVP #1: Please come over here
About 15 minutes into recording we have recorded a male saying “please comes over here”
Liz was talking and this voice must have been inquiring about one of our equipment. You can hear a male saying “What was that. This EVP took some work to bring it up to speed.
This one was recorded at the start of our investigation we have recorded a woman scream. No one in the group made this loud of a sound

Carolyn, Abby and myself (Brian) was in a part of the cemetery that we don’t go into to often, I looked up at the large black house that stands inside the cemetery and is also where the grounds keeper lives. On this day we were walking about and I looked up to see at a distance the grounds keeper and 4 workers looking at us. I said to my team mates “Hey guys the grounds keeper is staring at us.” When we got home and played the tape back, we have what sounds like a little girl saying: “They don’t mean to stare”

I made a comment about us never coming into this part of the cemetery and someone agreed with me.
