This story will give you the chills! . Submitted by Stephanie: SHAYLAGIRLZRULE@aol.com .
This cemetery is located in
Chester VA, off of a long dirt road. It is a very old family cemetery that has
graves as old as 100 years and some as new as10 years. When you go down this
dirt road you come to a clearing in the woods. Most of the graves are in this
clearing, but some are actually in the forest between the trees. It is pretty
spooky because a lot of the graves have mounds of dirt on them...like either
the coffin is rising to the surface or that it was not buried deep enough. Now
let me tell you something that will be important to know at the end of my
tale. My photo shoot was done on January 1, 1992 at a little after midnight
(new years morning)....and I think the moon was full or pretty close. In
October of 1991, a little girl named Charity Powers came up missing from the
skating rink, she was about 9. She was not found until February of 1992. Now
back to the story. We pulled up and I evaluated the area checking for anything
that might interfere with my photo shoot or the final prints. There was
nothing....Remember I was in the woods and the closest house was a trailer
about a mile away, at the end of the dirt road. I only used the light from the
moon and sometimes a flash, all other times a long exposure was used (between
60 and 120 seconds). My model was required to sit very still so the photos
would not blur. I took two rolls of B&W film, 24 exposures on each roll.
After about an hour, I was finished and so we left. I developed and printed
the photos myself the next day. The first roll was fine until about photo #11.
In the far background there was a small glowing spot. On every successive
photo after that, including on the second roll, the glowing spot was visible
but on each photo moving closer to the foreground (closer to my model and
myself. On the last 5 photos on my final roll of film, the glowing spot was
hovering above and to the side of my model. The anomaly was like one round
glowing ball on top, and underneath a long glowing oval (like a head and a
body)! Needless to say I was shocked, there was no way it was a reflection or
a developing mishap, the way the anomaly moved through each photo showed intelligence!
I still went back to the cemetery in the day and eventually ruled all those
things out. Now for the end of the story. The missing little girls body was
found a month later (after the photo shoot). She was buried in a shallow
grave, in that very cemetery where I did my photo shoot. The man that murdered
her was arrested soon after. He was the person that lived in the trailer at
the end of the dirt road. I am glad he did not find my model and me alone out
there that night! It makes me wonder if the ghost in the pictures was not
little Charity Powers trying to let someone know that she was back there. I
have not been able to find the photos or negatives at my mother's house. That
is why I want to return and do a whole investigation, to take new photos.
Maybe now that she has been laid to rest, nothing will show up. Or maybe it
wasn't her after all. After developing the photos and seeing the anomalies, it
brought to mind some scary experiences that I heard about way before the
little girl was ever murdered. Something about a ghost; a black man in overalls,
holding an AX and chasing people away from the cemetery and down the dirt
road. He only vanishes right before the entrance to the dirt road, not
reaching the main intersection were the public would surely bare witness.
Well, it is an old black family cemetery, maybe he protects his family even in
death. Now you know the story and why I am determined to return and take more
photos. Also, now you know why my friends are to scared to go with me and why
I won't return alone! Sorry that my story was so long, I just wanted you to
hear it! Again, I would enjoy reading the other comments on the photograph. I
anxiously await the arrival of more pictures!
