Green Hill Cemetery

I'm back with another story as promised. This story is about one of Amsterdam, N.Y's most haunted cemeteries. If you look up Green Hill Cemetery on the web you will find it. If you read my story The Hidden Door this happened a few years later when I was 16 years old.

After the experiance in my last story I became interested in the paranormal and start a ghost hunting group with my friends. I spent over 1600 dollars on equipment such as 3 infrared cameras, 3 digital voice recorders, 2 E.M.F detectors, and an expensive digital video camera. We called ourselves A.P.I (Amsterdam Paranormal society) and we decided to investigate the so called "haunted" cemetery.

Now the first day we went we didn't get much just seemed really calm and relaxing. So we stayed for a few hours trying to capture any E.V.Ps or E.M.F readings and nothing. We decided to leave and come back the next night and when we did things got weird.

As soon as we entered the cemetery the air felt really thick and we just didn't have a good feeling but we ignored it and kept walking. We didn't get more the 30 feet in the cemetery when all of a sudden the 2 of my friends I was with (Zach and Chris) started running really fast out of the cemetery screaming things I can't say on here and that scared me so I ran with them. I kept asking what happen and they just kept asking each other if they saw that and I didn't know what was going on.

When we got back to Zachs house they didn't tell each other what they saw they just sat down at the table drawing what they saw to see if they saw the same thing. To my suprise they both held up their drawings and it was the same. A black hooded figure. They said when we were walking in they saw it coming towards us not running but looked like it was floating.

After some sleep and clearing our minds we decided to go back and on this night it was paranormal heaven. When we went back I brought with me my video camera this time cause the other 2 nights I didn't. I started video taping and they starting doing E.V.Ps. I walked away from the group to see if I can get a personal experience and while I was walking I swore I saw a black figure running extremly fast through the cemtery but I just figured it was my eyes messing with me or just an animal. I went back to the group and we place a digital recorder on one of the tombstones and walked away.

While walking through the whole cemetery we started hearing footsteps behind us and felt like someone was walking right next to us. So Zach asked if anyones there can you make your presence known? And all of a sudden I was looking at the camera and no more the 3 feet away I see the whole screen go blinding white for a split second and I told them I think I have something. We rewinded the tape and I put it in slow motion and you can see a full apparition pure white but you can tell it was a human because I paused really quick when it can into the screen and you can see the outline of its face and shoulder, its hand raised up as if he were running.

I paused it again to where the apparition was in the middle of the screen and you see part of the legs and back but its like turn to static as of it was electric coming off its back. When we were trying to debunk it we did everything we can. Running past but we you can see every feature on us when we ran past. We could not explain how white it was. Then we listened to the audio on the camera and noticed that when we walked we were walking on a mess of leaves because it was fall and when this thing was running by there were no sounds of footsteps at all running. You didn't hear anything from this thing when it went by. All you heard was what sounded like someone blowing into the mic but you can hear us walking in leaves perfectly.

So we left thinking that's all we got and we checked the recorders getting many many E.V.Ps. One saying "GET THE F*** OUT", "ILL RIP YOU APART", and "TOPPER". That was a great night and I'm going to do everything I can to get that video up on here A.S.A.P. I'm hoping I can find it. I love going to that cemetery cause it peaceful during the day but at night sometimes all hell can break loose and its just a night of fun for paranormal investigators.

Thanks for reading and I'll have another awesome ghost hunting story up soon. Sorry its so long.
