I'm going to work on getting the pics up here on the message board in the next couple of days, but for now, you can hear that EVP that we captured at the Ellis Bolles Cemetery on Wolf Island Road on Saturday night. Here's the backstory:
Last night's show was extra spooky for Tim and Matt C., considering their side trek to the Ellis Bolles Cemetery on Wolf Island Road in Mattapoisett en route to the studio. On a whim, they swung by the cemetery armed with a few cameras (one digital, one film) and two audio recorders (one digital, one analog but with an external microphone).
While nothing overtly paranormal happened during their time there, there was a strange anxious sensation that kept them from wanting to go into the far left corner of the cemetery. They did, and when they turned around to look back toward the entrance, they saw what looked like a swirling flashlight moving around, but nobody was there. It lasted about a split second, so they figured it was nothing.
After spending about 20 minutes at the cemetery in total darkness (and chasing an image on the digital camera that turned out to be likely nothing more than Tim's finger), the boys decided to take off and grab some Dunkin Donuts. Tim decided to review the audio along the way, in case they wanted to present anything to Derek Bartlett from CAIPRS at the studio.
The digital recorder had been recording, with the counter moving, at the cemetery...Tim checked it twice to make sure. When he went to review it, there was no audio file, as if it had never even been started.
Although the analog recorder was using a tape that had been previously used when Tim was in the Celtics' locker room, he forwarded it far enough to a spot where there was no other audio. When he tried to find it on the tape, he couldn't...until he rewound it all the way to the beginning. The audio from the cemetery was now embedded in the middle of the sports-related audio. Weird, but again, likely more to equipment failure than anything paranormal.
The analog tape came out sounding terribly...the only way to describe it is that it sounds like the wind is blowing strongly and constantly, even though it was calm and a light drizzle was falling. Late in the tape, when Tim makes a statement of "That was weird" in relation to the way a flashlight reflected off a headstone, there is a brief pause as a disembodied female voices appears to repeat the word "weird," or perhaps "we're here." No female was present--just Tim and Matt.

Now, if anyone wants the actual technical specs of the equipment used, we can provide that information. We do plan on making a return trip, hopefully with more seasoned investigators and better equipment, but we're not trying to play this up as solid evidence that the paranormal exists...just a weird little happening on a creepy Saturday night.
