Ocoee Cemetery
 
Why is it that nothing ever comes easy lol we spent a good hour looking for this place to. The road to take here did not exist so I had to take the directions I had going home and integrate/backtrace them to the cemetery.
 
We arrived here and what was rare is that this is one of the only cemeteries I have seen in Florida that sits on a hill. The cemetery had a lot of large trees some were amazing.
 
When I arrived here I did not carry all my equipment and I told James that one of my cameras I am keeping in my pocket and leaving everything else at the car.
 
Well we started off in the civil war area of the cemetery which is just an area full of historical graves dating back from the 1800's. A lot of them were broke...tipped...crumbling to pieces. We seen these one grave that was tilted with a hole in the ground. You could reach down and touch the coffin.
 
Things were fairly quiet here not every place you go is haunted and not every place has activity or the activity is only certain times. James told me this was the best cemetery he had ever gone to. He went off on his own with the light and was reading various graves of children and such.
 
I was in a lot of agony coughing up my lungs. I just took my time it was a quiet area and sitting on the hill you could see the neighborhood ahead of us. The front gates had two pillars with the cemetery name on it.
 
I did go back up the hill to take a photo of this arched crypt the tiles were falling off. When I went to grab my one camera it was missing. I really started to panic in shock. I could not believe that it was in my pocket one minute and next minute gone. James and I scrambled to look for the camera we only stayed in the historical area only which was only a couple hundred feet so I felt that I would find it.
 
We did not find it so just to back track. James and I went all the way back to Oakland parked...hiked all the way to the previous cemetery looked there no luck. I told myself a million times that it had to be back at Ocoee Cemetery because when I arrived there I grabbed my pocket and felt it. My pocket was empty half way through exploring Ocoee cemetery which I thought was odd.
 
So we ran back to Ocoee Cemetery and we searched every nook and cranny. The camera was not to be found anotherwards something took it and it vanished. I was so sick of my wet sneakers that I ended up walking barefoot all over the cemetery. James took of his shoes to we both ran barefoot at 5am looking for the camera. I felt pretty sad driving home I lost a lot of sentimental pictures of my kids in Miami on that roll so I had to suck it up and just take it as a loss.
 
I believe that something took it I have no doubt I did not bend or climb or anything for it to just disappear out of my pocket and if it was on the ground we would have found it. I have many various types of lights I use everything from spotlights to small hand held 80 lumen power lights.
 
I thought to myself that this is why I need a bigger team to come along so that others can watch my back. But when your shorthanded carrying all the equipment....having to do everything at once it gets quite discombobulated. Also we heard movement the second visit here and my car door slammed but nothing was taken. So I really think that the camera was taken by a supernatural force at work.
 
The drive home was hard did not get home till 6am....I had to fill the gas tank again because the empty light came on. I missed my exit home was rather exhausted and stressing out. Lucky for me I carry many cameras usually so I did not lose a lot of photos from last nights excursion. I still took plenty for the website of all three locations.
 
What we do is not always pretty some people think its all fun and games but its not. We work very hard at what we do and if people do not share the same passion they never will understand all the sacrifices that are made.
 
In conclusion to my report I felt that we got some good activity not sure about what we got on film. Sometimes you just have to be at a place to experience it first hand. James today has been very quiet he does not want to talk about what he seen on the trail. There are things in our world that are not ghostly there are things that exist and we have no answer for them just that they are there.
 
I woke up this morning was going to go diving for sand dollars and do some fishing for some reds but if you heard about the weather my area is under the microscope for severe lightening, rain and tornadoes. So I rented about 6 kick ass movies from blockbuster going to go watch movies....eat some pot roast....toke one up...and make some brownies.
 
Its good to be back in the game I will miss having Jason on our team. In two weeks we have another few places that we will be visiting. Things are going to start getting REALLY busy for our organization. Lots of investigations....adventures....road trips etc.
 
I was pretty disgraced at last nights display by them two ladies sometimes in life you are better off journeying alone then letting others hold you down from the goals you truly seek. I just know that not everybody is cut out to be a great adventurer and the ones that are...are very rare.
 
I am a stranger to nobody those that browse my site have been following me and our journeys for years those that believe in us also believe in me. Those that do not are truly shorting themselves the experience. I will try to have these site updates done within a week and half.
 
I didn't come home with oranges last night grrr but I did at least come back with a good story for the fans and that was last nights adventure. I will not walk on eggshells with others I tell you how it is and I welcome new investigators but don't disrespect me. I had a bunch of people tell me they were not going then its the same old story they don't want to hike....they don't want to follow the rules....they are afraid to meet me blah blah blah I don't deal well with excuses and liars. If you want to come out and do this then show up to a meet up...meet with me for lunch.....and if you do show to help out then help out don't just quit because I cannot find the freaking cemetery that's just lame.
 
Despite the hardships though I did follow through and found all three places. It was a long night but I had a good time the places we went were really interesting and if I had more time to work with such places more I am sure that many ghost stories could unfold.
