INVESTIGATION REPORT
SHELDON CEMETERY IN MICHIGAN 2002

WEATHER: CLEAR, 32 DEGREES F, NO RAIN, FOG, OR SNOW. MOON PHASE: NEW MOON

REPORT: STRONG SMELL OF ROSES, YET NO FRESH FLOWERS PRESENT ON ANY OF THE GRAVE SITES. SOME EQUIPMENT FAILURE AT FIRST. OUR PSYCHIC-JULIE, SENSED THAT SOME OF THE CEMETERY EXTENDED BEYOND THE AREA THAT WAS OBVIOUS. MUCH OF THE ENTITIES IN OUR PHOTOS ARE IN THE WOODSY AREA AT THE NORTHERN MOST END OF THE CEMETERY. NEAR THE SHED IS A COLD SPOT THAT CAN BE EASILY FELT WITHOUT THE USE OF A THERMOMETER. I HAVE VISITED THIS CEMETERY IN THE PAST (AUGUST, 2001), AND HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES THERE. TROUBLE WITH EQUIPMENT, RED GLOWING SHAPES APPEARING WHENEVER ANYONE'S FLASH WENT OFF, AND A MILD SENSE OF BEING UNWELCOME. ALL OF THESE WERE REPEATED AGAIN DURING THIS INVESTIGATION. THIS CEMETERY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1835. ONCE A POTATO PATCH, THIS RESTING PLACE WAS NAMED FOR IT'S LOCATION. MANY GRAVES ARE NOTABLE. ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING ONES IS THAT OF A YOUNG SOLDIER WHO DIED IN 1863 AT THE AGE OF NINETEEN, FROM WOUNDS RECEIVED AT THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. ONE OF THE SADDEST PLOTS IN THE CEMETERY IS THAT OF THE FIVE CHILDREN WHO ALL DIED OF AN EPIDEMIC BETWEEN MARCH 15 AND 21, 1871.
