This national landmark dates back the 1700's. The location consists of a number of buildings, a cemetery and other park grounds. It is still an active church. We contacted the site and got the ok to spend some time at night on the grounds for the investigation. We learned about some local legends concerning hangings at the site. The two teams, led by Investigator Anne Palagruto on both nights, had positive readings on the EMF detectors, anomalies in the nightshot video camera and visual encounters.

This photo was taken by Investigator Juliano after 3 positives readings on the EMF detector. The orb is directly in front of the door to the Church.

This photo of a light rod was taken by Investigator Palagruto on the first night of the investigation.

Old Swede's EVP: Recorded by Investigator Palagruto.
