After the Investigation

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: Haunted
Explanation of Case Classification: During WIX's two investigations at Riverside Cemetery, WIX recorded some abnormal pictures and witnessed abnormal readings with our infrared thermometer and night vision. Based on this evidence, WIX considers Riverside Cemetery as haunted. However, because of the sheer size of this cemetery, a more thorough and comprehensive investigation is needed to make a definite ruling where this activity takes place.
