um-to the girl who supplied the picture w/her boyfriend in the red hoodie sweater…. you were not standing infront of his tomb. i was there, and somehow managed on top of his tomb. we never jumped down to take the pix to see if rumors are true, but i had a bad pain in my feeling in my stomach so we left. and that was in may. and 2 weeks ago i found out that someone hung themself off the musileum! so i felt that person’s presence. i might not have a picture, but i’ll always have that memory of how i felt standing on top of it. and i plan to go back soon.

I VE BEEN TO THAT PLACE BEFORE AND IT WAS REALLY BUGGED OUT. ME AND MY FRIEND WERE WALKING THROUGH THERE ONE DAY AND WE GOT A BAD FEELING. MY FRIEND WAS TELLIN ME HOW HER MOM HAD WARNED HER ABOUT GOING THERE AND IF SHE GOES THEN SHELL GET IN TROUBLE. WE WERE WALKING AROUND AND IT GOT REALLY DARK ALL OF A SUDDEN SO WE LEFT. WE WALKED OUT OF THERE REALLY SCARED BECAUSE WE BOTH HAD A REALLY BAD FEELING. AS WE GOT BY THE EXIT WE WERE HEARING PEOPLE YELLING AND SAYING DONT COME BACK WERE WATCHING YOU. WE WERE SO SCARED THAT WE BOTH JUST WENT HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME MY MOM ASKED ME WHERE I WAS BECAUSE SHE RECIEVED A REALLY DISTURBING PHONE CALL SAYING THAT I WAS BOTHERING PEOPLE AT THEIR HOMES WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING. MY FRIEND GOT THE SAME PHONE CALL AND NEEDLESS TO SAY HER MOM FOUND OUT.

Well, well, well, we shall see, I am the Founder/lead investigator of EPIC PARANORMAL, based on Staten Island NY, and if anyone can get in and do a professional investigation it, ‘its my team.
We don’t want to prove to anyone that there are “GHOSTS”, we want to DISPROVE the fact that there is any paranormal anomolies that are affecting this good ol cemetery, so it’s inhabitants and it;s xcaretakers can be at rest as they should be.

My team and I don’t do cemeterues but this deserves a looksee, as they say. We research,we go, we investigate, we do what we do best.
No BS, Not a bunch of kids out thrill seeking, we will go to do a job, thats what we do, so we shall see…..

GOT GHOSTS?

for anyone that wants to go there…your not allowed to go in…the propety is closed to the public because it had been vandalized previously. The only way you can go in is if you get permission from J.P. Morgan Chase bank because they currently control the property, as they are they heirs to the vanderbilt estate. The caretakes of the cemetary will not even take in the pastor of the church that resides on the property. If anyone is interested in going there however, if you go in thru highrock park, you can follow the fence of the cemetary up the hill, and then just crawl in an opening in the fence (it was cut open)…you then have to walk down a large driveway to get to it. If your not sure if your at the right place, the mausolium was modeled after a huge cathedral from paris…so if what you see isn’t some kind of monstrous building…its not the right place. Unfortunately I have not gotten the opportunity to go there, however I do have friends that have gone there, and have taken pictures in front of it…and many wierd things have happened. Using a bunch of disposeable cameras, one roll of flim did not develope at all, as if the film had never been exposed to light at all…on another roll of film, there was a CLEAR AND DISTINCT image of a person standing there in addition to the people in the image

ok guys i am not kidding, and i’d rather you all rpove me wrong… but if you look at the left of that picture supplied for a little time, you notice a white misty figure with a prolongated scull for a head… the skull would be starting at the level of that little white building and the body is going over the grass…

ok this is freaky…
