Our Haunted Florida Investigations

During our 2 years living in Florida, my wife and I investigated several areas that were either reported haunted or that we came across the hauntings on our own. Below are the places we investigated and our report on each of them.

The Haunted Spots of Northwest Florida

The Row of White Houses - Milton: These row of houses can be found on Highway 89 in East Milton.  We lived in one of the duplexes for 6 months and off the bat began experiencing haunted activity.  We captured obs around the property at night mainly.  One picture capture what appeared to be a mother holding her daughter in the window of our house around Christmas time.

Bagdad Cemetery - Bagdad:  Bagdad Cemetery is one of the center pieces of Old Town Bagdad.  We made only a few visits there at the cemetery, mainly during the day.  Our visit there, we heard kids playing loudly near the cemetery at the southwest end.  My wife and I decided to hop into our truck and drove around to find out where the noise was considering that there was at least a mile and a half of overgrowth surrounding the cemetery.  As we found the nearest road near the area, we looked around and didn't see any kids around. Our lone night visit we picked up several orbs on film.

Imogene Theatre - Milton:  This theatre was built over 100 years ago and survived the test of time.  Originally an old movie house, the theatre was renovated into a community theatre house.  Five to six plays are presented there each year.  My wife and I were friends with the community theatre producer and his friend and was able to investigate the theatre. The actors and stagehands reported numerous strange noises and cold spots on stage.  An even stranger occurance happend when our friends locked up the theatre for the night, with all the light out.  When they drove by the theatre later in the evening, they notice a light on the second story air conditioning room.  Needless to say our one investigation picked up orbs around the seating area and cold spots on both the stage and floor seating area.

Coonhill Cemetery - Jay: A famous haunt of Northerwst Florida.  Legends and locals have spoken of bloodshed, murders and unseen hands around the cemetery.  According to a listing from The Shadowlands website, if you walk the cemetery wall, you maybe pushed off by unseen hands.  Finally, my wife and I went to investigate the cemetery.  The cemetery is isolated and hard to find.  One of the oldest cemeteries in the area, Coonhill is the resting place for some civil war soldiers and original families of the area.  You have to walk at least a quarter mile from the road gate to the cemetery.  The first discoveries of the cemetery was that the tree grove temperature went down and got cooler.  The wall was built to keep any wildfires away the headstones.  We visited the cemetery both day and night picking up day and night activity.  The day portions of our investigation were hearing voices from "Get Out" and "Mommy".  My wife and I did see an invisible image pass by us (sort of like from the movie "Predator"to paint the picture).  Night time activity included picking up orbs and ecto-plasam on film, and a shadow that followed me through the tree grove to the enterance of the cemetery.  Today, a new cemetery gate door is on the cemetery to prevent vandals.  If you investigate the cemetery you may run into the locals hanging out partying, so keep an eye out.

Private Property - Milton: A couple of friends of ours invited us to investigate their land.  They reported numerous paranormal activity from an old slave to a little girl, among other things.  We visited the property many times over and done research on the property.  It was believed to be a farm at one time with several sections of the property to be graves as much of the grounds tends to sag down.  Numerous orbs were picked up all over the property with sightings of Benjamin, the slave, the little girl, an Indian, and numerous spirits on the outside of the property.  The property was also investigated by a Pensacola based ghost group.  The findings and pictures were posted on their website for awhile before it was taken down.  A picture of the property can be found in the photos page.

Milton Cemetery - Milton: A cemtery located off of Berryhill Road.  The Milton cemetery is a popular walking spot for seniors walking their dogs or power walkers.  We normally visited and walked the cemetery grounds almost on a weekly basis.  My wife and I first picked up activity by using a electronic reader around a plot which was adjecent to Berryhill Road.  A picture we did take picked up a thin shadow image.  Several attempts at taking the same shot resulted in not picking up anything.  We have picked up several orbs around the cemetery during the evening hours.
