St Johns Methodist Church & Cemetery sits on a dark country road and sort of reminds me of some children of the corn type of setting. The original church was erected in 1844 and still stands today but is obviously no longer in use since a chapel across the parking lot seems to be fairly new and in use. 

If there was any cemetery you would see in a horror movie this would be it as it has rod iron, stone walls, and fencing around it. The cemetery sits behind the church and most of the graves it seems were family plots and those that attended the church all the way dating back to the 1800s. 

This is another place that the fog seems to settle making it very hard to see your way around. I am sure on many nights the fog resides here since it seems like lower ground.  The cemeteries front gates and archway were recently constructed in 2003. They use to build rod iron archways over a century ago so it was nice to see that they were trying to preserve a pioneer look to this place of burial.

There are probably a couple hundred burials here but in the older section many of the stones are broke, missing, eroded, leaning or embedded into the ground. Although for the most part I think this is an absolutely perfect cemetery to investigate.

The church is a very colonial type of structure made completely out of wood with two floors. I believe at this point its the oldest church in its county and there are signs some have tried to break inside of it. In front of the church is a dollhouse sized structure which is a duplicate of the church.

Much mystery surrounds the area and we do hope to at least return a second time to investigate further into the area and the supernatural.

The speckles you see in some of the above photos is not ectoplasm but rather fog.
