These photos were taken at the Knights of Pythias Cemetery. The Pythias Order, in our area, is an extinct non-secular fraternal order founded in 1964. The headstones in this cemetery are exceptionally ornate and many individuals travel here to do headstone rubbings to capture the artwork.
It is very popular amongst local paranormal groups that offer tours during the months of April and November due to the local urban legend of John Cameron's death. The legend States that John and a woman he had met in his travels to the east coast had fallen in love and wished to be married. Upon john's return to Central City to request permission of his father, he was notified that he was to marry another native girl for monetary and prominent reasons. John reluctantly abided his father's wishes and broke off all arrangements with his former relationship and proceeded with the responsibility to his family. County records show his marriage ceremony to have taken place on April 5th, 1887. The records also show that John E. Cameron was found poisoned to death in his home on November 1st, 1887. Documents from his funeral state, underlined, a lady dressed in black satin was noticed standing and weeping at the back of the courthouse where services were held. Later that evening that same mysterious woman's body was found in a hotel room. Coroners report declares the cause of death was suicide by poison.
The reason this cemetery is popular in April and in November is, it is reported that a woman in black satin appears to walk up to his grave and place a blue columbine flower on his headstone every April 5th and November 1st at dawn.
We went to this cemetery with an open mind and straight away we felt a presence. As I walked through the cemetery I asked this presence to permit me to take a photograph. In each of these photos you will observe that there is only one Orb present. It appears to be the same color and consistency in each photo when it is not moving. It seemed to follow me in through the front gate, around the path and back out again.

These photos were taken at the Knights of Pythias Cemetery. Along on the investigation were Elisha, Kate and myself. We were very fortunate to have extremely nice weather this evening. The way we did this investigation was a little different than normal. Elisha acted as the medium and also took photos. When ever he would sense something and tell us where it would be, we would take photos in that area. Of course you really have no idea as to what you actually have until you get home and look at the data later in the evening. There seemed to be some unexplainable plasmic type Orbs along with the generic type of Orb. I also caught a flash of Electromagnetic Flux and a set of eyes staring out at us from the distance, as well.
This photo was taken in Knights of Pythias Cemetery during a practice run and experimentation. Along with photos taken, there were also experiments in audio as well. We are not sure what this animal is. We have heard that it is a Bat, Squirrel, Insect and a form of Bird. We have no idea what it is.
These shots were taken in the Knights of Pythias Cemetery, on my birthday in March, 2004. Elisha and I had taken several shots even though it was very cold. The temperature was 21 degrees with a wind of 10 mph. We stuck it out. These are the shots that I got before my camera froze completely and shut down. What I have posted is the main high resolution photos and then a close up of the anamoly. The Orb object shows a green hew which leads me to believe it is of a 'Super Charged' nature.
These two photos were also taken at the Knights of Pythias Cemetery that same night in March, 2004. The first one of a 'Globule Type' Orb, which you can view the original high resolution photo and cropped colose up, and the second being of something I have never experienced before in my own photos. Obviously it is not a thumb or finger in the way. It is too translucent. Besides , even though it was very cold, I was wearing blck gloves. The photo seems a little misty to the right side of the object, which expands well into the photo, itself. You can view it in the high resolution version or the cropped version.
This photo was taken at the Knights of Pythias Cemetery by Elisha on an outing in March of 2004. The weather was very clear for the season but the temperature was very cold. The wind was calm in the beginning but quickly came up and the wind chill made things unmistakably cold. Some might argue that these are dust or snow, but remember the atmosphere was clear and the winds could not have lifted snow from the ground in single flakes to float them around without having a 'ground blizzard' effect.

These photos were taken at Knights of Pythias Cemetery. What stands out is the mist in both photos. The photos were taken one right after the other, facing different directions. One of the rules in taking photos is if the temperature seems a little chilly, hold your breath and count to 10 before taking a photo. This assures that your breath will not interfere with your collecting evidence. This rule is practices by everyone in our teams. That being said, I know I followed the rule. Thus, it qualifies as an anomaly.
Nora took this photo while walking through Knights of Pythias with us one evening. Our medium was looking for a spirit named ‘Mary'. The medium was asking the spirit to lead us to her grave sight. Once we found ‘Mary' we started getting readings on our meters and Nora took this photo of ‘Mary's' headstone and mist. It is our personal view to maintain anonymity of individuals whether they are deceased or living. That is why the name has been smudged out of this photo.
