Last night happened to be one of our bigger investigations for this month perhaps maybe even the year since some of these places I been wanting to investigate since day 1 of moving to Florida. But last nights investigation was about rich history with a nice variety of places to bring you some very chilling stories as well as adventure. It also marked Tammy's first time out with us. 

We had a very busy night as we ventured through 5 places in an all night affair. Some places are proclaimed to have strange tales alone however we did quite well last night being that we were shorthanded and we even had time for some Paracomedy moments. I even got to climb a dinosaur last night and enjoy a nice river walk.

We set off much later then usual visiting Woodland Cemetery, The Freemanville Settlement, The Dunlawton Plantation & Sugar Mill Ruins, The Gamble Place, and Daytona Beach's oldest cemetery called Pinewood. So we had a very busy night with each place bringing different types of paranormal activity as well as a lot of rich history and left a little later then usual to bring you nice really nice ghostly photos and so our spooky journey begins here.

Woodland Cemetery

We parked and walked down in a really nice residential neighborhood. Kind of nice for a change considering the last few cemeteries were in the middle of no mans land lol.  The cemetery was quite odd as we approached it there were no front gates and a little house lit next to the entrance road to it. 

Right away I looked and was so saddened by the size of this place as research told me its big and I thought big is like the mile long cemeteries in NY lol. But we walked in and Tammy smelled a citrus type of smell. Then a few hundred feet ahead was a candle burning near one of the gravestones.

There were to roads one to the left and one to the right with grave stones running in three sections. The deeper we walked on the road to the right the older the stones seemed to get. It was very peaceful here we noticed a lot of stones had knickknacks of angels, fresh flowers, wreaths, etc., there was not an ounce of uncomfortable feelings here. Amazing how when you visit one cemetery feel chased out then visit another how welcomed the unseen makes you feel.

We walked up the road approaching what would become the pioneer section of the cemetery and right away there was a big temperature drop off. It was very cold perhaps even a 10 degree difference. We strayed a little bit off the road and the smell was very bad in this cemetery. The smell of sulfur and perhaps rotting flesh was in the air. 

We then took some photos walked back onto the road which led us to the pioneer section which sat in front of a church. The pioneer section was very dark nothing but many trees shielding out the night sky. Right away we noticed many stones were broke, tipped, leaning on one another and some crypts had broken lids or no lids at all. 

We spent a lot of time in the older section at least three times we walked around and even found two of the three civil war soldiers buried in this area. This pioneer section was interesting as many stones were covered by grass, surrounded by trees, and there was just a real gloomy feelings here. There were not flowers or knickknacks here nothing but old worn graves of many types.

We walked down the other road which led us to the cemetery office and many new burials. One stone had a little fence around it while another someone grew a flower garden around. There was nothing to odd here accept the cold spots were becoming more patchy the longer we spent there particularly in the older section.

I had Tammy walked back with me to the older section this time I felt watched Its that feeling where you sense a presence is back here but keeping itself at a distance. I took some more photos and then we walked back down the road we came. I heard some movement near by sounded like somebody perhaps walking or moving near some bushes. Whatever is here was trying to be more cautious not to be caught then us because this cemetery is extremely overly quiet except for the movement heard upon us getting ready to leave. We also noticed a strange eerie light at the end of the road in the cemetery which was not their before.

We walked to the front entrance taking a photo of a mausoleum then headed on back to the car to our next destination which was the Freemanville Settlement.  I really enjoyed this cemetery it had an odd layout and the oldest section really was amazing something you would see out of a horror movie seriously.
