Investigation Summation: This historic cemetery is home to the final resting place of Washington Irving, author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", along with many of the families mentioned in his book including the Headless Horseman himself, The Hessian, who is buried behind the Old Dutch Church. This is one of the largest and most beautiful cemeteries we've ever visited with burials dating back to the early 1600's. During this investigation our team recorded a number of EVP's and felt the presence of several spirits.

EXIF Data confirmed the shutter speed at 1/60th of a second which
would rule out motion blur of an insect. |

Note: Most researchers do not consider orb photos evidence of paranormal activity as airborne particles such as dust, pollen and moisture can cause "false positives". While we agree that most "orbs" can be explained naturally, we have found in our research that a small percentage seem to correlate to paranormal activity. Therefore, we will post orb photos that we feel may represent paranormal activity, although we can not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the case.
