Jimmy and I have been continuing our exploration of local Long Island and New York cemeteries. We have been capturing many strange anomalies and we have plans to visit more locations at night. Jimmy knew about the Davis Cemetery for a long time but we could never pinpoint its exact location. The other night (June 3rd) we set out late at night to try to find it. We only had vague directions and no flashlights but that never stopped us before. We knew about The Davis House on Route 112, (which is also known for paranormal activity) but we didn't realize how close it actually was to the cemetery. The house has recently been under renovation and it's all fenced off, the town is planning to restore it and eventually open it to visitors.
We walked around in the dark for quite a while looking for a dirt path or driveway as mentioned in our directions. We thought it was much further down the road from The Davis House. We entered the woods at several points which turned out to be dead ends or private property. We were going around fences, climbing over boards and walking through tall grass. It was already after 2:00AM so we decided to save it for another night. We walked back to the car, which was parked next to a little church (or schoolhouse) that almost looks fake. (It could be a replica or possibly a house that was moved from another location and rebuilt and restored here. Coincidentally we had passed this church several months ago and took a few pictures as we passed. To our surprise, when we looked at the pictures we discovered an orb or two floating around the building).
We continued walking towards the car but decided to walk just a little bit past the car just in case the path we were looking for was closer to the Davis House than we thought. As it turned out, there was a dirt path just like the one we were looking for almost directly across the street from the car! We walked down the path and noticed the silhouette of a small house directly ahead of us. We almost turned around but we hesitated because we soon realized the house was boarded up and vacant. We couldn't see a thing so we were literally snapping pictures in order to light up the woods to see where we were going. I slowly walked around to the right and Jimmy walked around to the left. Within a few seconds I heard Jimmy call out, "Hey Jim, come over here." He had walked around the house snapping pictures and when he looked at the LCD screen he noticed that there was a cluster of gravestones right before him. It wasn't a big cemetery but it had good number of old headstones and they were actually in pretty good shape.
There are quite a few of these forgotten cemeteries around Long Island and searching for them is half the fun. I included some of the pictures in this post, including the original picture of the small church / school building with the orbs from 4/29. We were always curious why orbs appeared in that picture. We attributed them to the haunted Davis property across the street but now we learn that the whole time there was also a hidden cemetery just a couple of hundred feet away. If you would like to hear more, and see more pics of The Davis Cemetery (including more orb shots and other anomalies), please visit our new Facebook page at J & J Paranormal. The Davis pics might not be up yet but they will be soon. I believe Jimmy may have already posted some of those pics through his regular site as well(Jimmy Reardon).
- This is the original pic from 4/29 of the small church (or schoolhouse). You can see at least two orbs floating about, One directly on the building and one that was cut off on the right edge of the pic.
- Here's a shot of Jimmy walking towards the vacant house, just before he discovered the cemetery. (6/3/11)
- Below are several pics of the forgotten, Davis Cemetery from our visit on 6/3/11.
