We get asked quite often if we’ve investigated “this” cemetery or “that” cemetery.  The honest answer is, we don’t believe cemeteries are “haunted”.  Now, there are a few exceptions that are well documented with compelling evidence, but by and large, we simply do not believe that a cemetery contains the energy that is necessary for a paranormal entity to manifest itself.

 There’s also another way to look at it logically:  If you believe that the Sentient Energy (that we call our soul) leaves the body upon death, AND, if that sentient energy chooses NOT to pass on to wherever it is destined to go and chooses to “hang around”, why would it choose to hang around a place where its mortal body has been buried?  You see, our belief is that a sentient soul will return to a place that has meaning to it.   Perhaps it cannot detach itself from its family, or it feels some business is unfinished.  Or even maybe, it is nefarious in nature, and simply wants to “terrorize” those it feels did wrong when it was alive.

A great deal of our research centers around energy, and it’s impact on paranormal activity. Much of that energy seems to be emotional, or electromagnetic in nature.  A burial place simply does not have that much energy in abundance.

Lastly, there are the practical challenges of conducting an investigation outdoors.  There are many factors that can contaminate the evidence that is collected:  Wind, birds, barking dogs, distant voices,  and cars.  Evidence analysis is a tough enough challenge, and to introduce these natural factors makes credible evidence gathering even harder.

There are many historical exceptions to our hypothesis, the most notable is probably Getttysburg, PA, where there have been many impressive cases of residual hauntings.  But by and large, our recommendation for serious Ghost hunters is to not waste your time and resources investigating in cemeteries.
