TURN UP YOUR SOUND ON 1ST PART OF NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
The Otterbein Cemetery is said to be haunted by several ghosts including figures that pop up and vanish. The ghost of a young calm man has been seen standing by the Walnut Street entrance to the graveyard. He seems to watch visitors approach, but then disappears before people can speak to him. A house across from the cemetery is haunted by a friendly ghost-that of a beloved grandmother. People see shadowy human figures that suddenly vanish.
The most haunted part is the cemetery's largest mausoleums. A dark shadowy shape is most often seen here. Another ghost is said to enter a sleeper's dreams and take them to this cemetery.
The cemetery was investigated during several nights using an infrared camera. On one night ghastly sounds could be heard, although they were faint. I didn't try to figure out what the sound was. There is a dark, steep, thickly wooded ravine on the west side, where even by daylight a person can tumble down the long Alum Creek River bank and catch poison ivy, so I didn't go looking. The sound was faint and some distance away. At first I thought it was a screech owl, but after replaying screech owl sounds, I'm not too sure, because the screech owl sound contains trailing trilling or wavering notes and this sounded more like screaming. When I heard the sounds in real life, they were faint and I was surprised that the camcorder picked them up. I heard sounds at approximately: +1:52, 1:56, 2:00 +2:04 2:08 +2:18 2:22 +2.26 +2:28 and +2:34 on this video (the ones with a + in front seemed louder.) At 2:04 I said, "You can definitely hear a spooky sound" and paused between the words "hear" and "a" for the sound. The timing of the sounds did not seem to be that of a standard police, emergency, or fire siren.
Another interesting sound was a quiet roar, while I was filming the inside of the mausoleum in the dark. A few streaks flitted across the video. An s-shaped thing turns into a swirl at around 3:02/4:58. I, of course, don't know what a ghost looks like in infrared, but maybe I'll figure out how to look for them after I film some more. The last part of the video shows a ride through the cemetery on a foggy night.
Otterbein College was founded as the Otterbein University of Ohio in 1847 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and was named after a church co-founder, Philip Otterbein, a participant with Martin Boehm in the "Great Meeting" that took place in the Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania historical markers say it was during the "Great Meeting" that the first American-born religious denominations began--the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the United Methodist Church. Otterbein was noted for its abolitionist stand. Otterbein's Benjamin Hanby, who is buried in the graveyard, was the songwriter who composed "Darling Nelly Gray" and the Christmas carol, "Up on the House Top," among other well-known songs.
The graveyard is located by Alum Creek along an Underground Railroad route, which continued on to Africa and Mt. Vernon, Ohio. This route was also notable for its relationship to Dan Emmett, who wrote "Dixie" among other classics, and lived in Mr. Vernon.
The mausoleum was built in 1923. Its interior was constructed of beautiful Vermont marble and its exterior is composed of Bedford Stone. It has seven cathedral styled stained glass windows that contain symbols of the seven major world religions. Its stained glass windows are very beautiful, but don't show up well from the outside.
***Part of a Series To Be Continued***
More investigation will be conducted on this and other cemeteries. If anyone knows what a ghost filmed in infrared looks like, please let me know.

^.^ I'm an Otterbein student. For shoots and giggles a group of 40 of us and the president went to this cemetery at midnight with a professional ghost hunter. Before we got very far, we were haunted by the Westerville Police who threatened to arrest everyone for trespassing in a park after dark: including President Devore. So instead, my English class was held there on Halloween. We sat near the Mausoleum and fresh graves around it.August 20th, 2008 at 03:10:30

Hi, next time when you video, do the following: 1. slow down, with the video movement you loose alot of clarity there. 2. speak clearly 3. Don't put music with the video, takes away from what you are trying to achieve.August 20th, 2008 at 04:42:26
There is supposed to be a ghost of a famous serial killer in New Zealand that has been seen around the crematorium of the graveyard and he walks around in circles around sections of the gravyard and has apparently tried to scare people walking near the cliff by the ocean.

I didnt hear anything out of the ordinary , those are typical night sounds inside a cemetary surrounded by trees, insects and other small creatures make unusual sounds , ive spent time listining to sounds in cemetarys and have heard more spooky sounds than these , my advise to you is dont let ur imagination get the best of you , and if you hear something dont be afraid , find out exactly what it is :)August 20th, 2008 at 09:18:14

At 2:25 there was some kinda streak go from the upper left down towards the lower right but that could have easily been a bug. I try 2 look at these kinda things with a scientific approach. And at3:54 that 2 could just as easily be a bug flying by the camera. And as 4 the weird sounds those were crickets and other bugs that prefer coming out at night. I hope noone gets mad at me but as I had said b4, I try and look at these videos with a scientific approach.
