Physical Description: Greenwood Cemetery is located in an isolated area, south of the city of Nekoosa. Part of the cemetery is bordered by a field, while the other section is surrounded by a dense area of trees in which there is a moderate valley with some broken tombstones at the bottom. A small dirt road goes through some of the cemetery, and there is a small shed close to the entrance that holds some tools. There is a telephone pole in the center of the cemetery where a bright light illuminates a majority of the area at night; next to the pole is a memorial that commemorates all of the veterans of wars. The markers in this cemetery seem to be placed in no order with most of them being fairly old while there are some newer ones.
Trespassing Notice: n/a
Other Notes: While the city of Nekoosa is nearby in Wood County, this cemetery is technically located in Juneau County.

After the Investigation

Date Investigated: 09/29/05
Type of Investigation: Complete
Official Paranormal Report Filed: None filed
Description of Investigation: (not available for this investigation; this section was added on 01/08/07)
Case Classification: Open
Explanation of Case Classification: When this investigation took place, everything that WIX measured appeared normal with no unusual readings with the instruments or pictures. However, when WIX checked out the front of the cemetery, close to where the shed is, there were some small movements on the EMF meter and some anomalous pictures. Based on this evidence, WIX needs to do another investigation to give this location a haunted determination.

After the Investigation

Date Investigated: 07/26/06
Type of Investigation: Complete
Official Paranormal Report Filed: None filed
Description of Investigation: (not available for this investigation; this section was added on 01/08/07)
Case Classification: Open
Explanation of Case Classification: Our investigation of the majority of this cemetery was normal until we reached the area of the shed (we went to this area last). In this area by the shed, there was a decent spike recorded on the EMF meter (high magnetic setting) while the camcorder captured a strange streak of light. Also, there were some questionable pictures with fairly dense orbs (very white). The use of the night vision was normal, but it was limited because of the central light. The temperature readings were normal. Because of the unusual barrage of readings with multiple pieces of equipment by the shed, WIX still cannot claim a classification for this location.
