Growing up, Jennifer and her friends heard multiple true ghost stories about the local cemetery and how it was haunted.
When she became old enough to drive, she and her buddies would often go up there and hang out in a pavilion across the street, curious about the cemetery but far too frightened to venture through it.
As the years progressed, Jennifer kept hearing that many bad things had happened in the cemetery, but she never heard any of the grisly details.
After she became an adult, she decided it was finally time to investigate. Jennifer contacted a local paranormal investigation team and suggested that they check out Goshen Cemetery.
She was both excited and nervous when they told her she could accompany them on their investigation.
Their trip began a few minutes after the sun went down. They slowly made their way through the cemetery, combing through space together.
Nothing happened for the first few hours, except for the random chirping and squeaks of animals that called the cemetery home.
It was roughly around midnight when things grew infinitely more sinister. Jennifer and the team began to notice a soft glowing light coming from the furthest corner of the cemetery.
She was frightened by this sudden activity but worked up the courage to remain with the group to check out what it was. But the closer they got, the light somehow seemed farther and farther away.
By the time they had made it to the far edge of the cemetery, the light had disappeared altogether.
Everyone was surprised to find that only a single headstone resided in that section of the park. The grave was unmarked and seemed quite old.
As Jennifer stared down at it, an intense chill began to run through her body. The team members sensed her sudden discomfort and began to ask questions to any spirits who were in the area.
After a few minutes, the chilly sensation eased up, and Jennifer felt a little less panicked.
The following day, one of the members of the team contacted Jennifer to show her the evidence they had gathered.
They sent her two Electronic Voice Phenomena – also known as EVPs – some photographs and one video, all of which had been recorded or taken right after Jennifer began to experience the sudden chill.
The pictures showed multiple misty apparitions standing on either side of Jennifer. The video showed the mists form and slowly began to circle around her right as she could be seen visibly shivering on the video.
One of the EVPs was too faint to distinguish, but the other was clearly a man’s voice saying, ‘pretty’ and ‘mine.’
Jennifer and the team did a little research and discovered that the unmarked grave belonged to a man who had died in the early 1800s.
According to town records, the man was rather popular with the ladies and many townsfolk suspected that he had been murdered as a result. Talk about real-life ghost stories!
