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:
While WIX was at this location, there were some pictures with some questionable minor anomalies in them, yet all of the other instruments checked out with normal readings.  As we departed this cemetery, an odd noise was heard by a few of our team members that could not be explained.  From the pictures and this noise, another investigation at this location is necessary to determine properly a haunted classification.
