Lehighton Cemetery - Lehighton, PA

06-12-05


Today's case takes us to the Lehighton Cemetery, the final resting place for many involved in the locally infamous Gnaden Huetten massacre! There are several common graves about the place, and much energy can be sensed in these regions.

The story goes that the Moravians and the local Delaware Indians existed peacefully for many years, with many Delaware Indians converted to Christianity by these Moravians. However, some members of the Delaware tribe (Munsee) began to resent the presence of the European settlers,(and the loss of their land), and joined forces with the Shawnees and Mohicans to wage war on the settlers. Even though the Moravians and Delawares were friendly, Gnaden Huetten was attacked in 1755 resulting in the massacre of the Moravians and even a few sympathetic Delawares. These are the spirits who are said to be seen walking the grounds of this cemetery day or night.

The cemetery itself is beautiful. Loads of monuments, exquisite grave stones, and roomy mausoleums make up the territory occupied by the deceased.

The first place I wanted to head for was the main mausoleum. Lo and behold, as soon as I set off for it, a family pushing a baby carriage came walking through and spent about a half-hour sitting on the steps in front of the building. We spent this time waiting for them to leave walking around and trying to capture impromptu E.V.P., which we did. These files can be heard on our E.V.P. page. We captured many, to be precise, but only the three listed actually are worth listening to. There is a lot of energy around this area, to be sure.

After wandering around and moving the car several times the family on the steps of the mausoleum decided they were going to move on. I broke for the building while Liza went to get the car again. I got to the door and it was locked. Another day perhaps. Below are some images of the cemetery itself, including the 1755 monument to the victims of the Gnaden Huetten massacre, (which can also be seen above in a close-up.) No visual anomolies were captured, nor expected in broad daylight. This was more/less an experiment in E.V.P. today, which was successful.

The Verdict?

I am pretty certain we simply hit things at the wrong time. The E.V.P. that was captured was just the tip of the iceberg, because there were many audible whispers that weren't able to be heard clear enough to understand what was trying to be stated. You could hear that something was trying to communicate, but there were too many background noises. Had we been able to get inside the mausoleum we might have had better luck filtering out all the birds and cars and such. Daytime is bad for E.V.P. and photography, but, there again, most cemeteries are watched by the cops like hawks at night due to potential vandalism. It's not easy explaining to an officer of the law that you're looking for ghosts... Anyway, perhaps a weeknight towards dusk would be more appropriate. Yes, there's definitely energy there.
