Barclay Cemetery
Barclay, PA – Leaving Maine behind, we cross our border for the first time and transition from Haunt ME to Haunt US. Our destination was to reunite with Greg and Dana of the Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and Occult nearby Greg’s hometown in PA to see some of his favorite haunts. One of those haunts, was where Greg saw his first full bodied apparition: that of a murdered man who was dumped in the high hills near Barclay Cemetery.
The journey in the dark and rural cemetery at the top of a mountain was scary in its own right, then you have to add on the layers of hauntings in this paranormal nexus. Cryptids, Ghosts, and potential alien experiences have all been witnessed here, and the team wanted to experience it all.
Almost immediately, the cemetery served up call and response rempod activity, alongside the Newkirk’s haunted object, Ruby the doll. The night quickly elevated further when Carol made contact with the spirit of ‘Timothy’ who she felt was pleading for her help in a lightning fast attachment, and she did everything she could to aid the lost boy. The climax of the investigation was the possible sasquatch encounter, as strange animal mimicry noises called out to the team from the woods in response to Greg and Dana’s ‘squatch calls they had learned from their experiences on the show ‘Finding Bigfoot’.

As a local who grew up with the ghost stories of the old cemetery I can say I have had some interesting things happen there. One night I showed my friend this cemetery (we are pagan and wanted to just sit and listen). We watched as small child like wisps moved among the trees. Our cameras caught orbs but the digital footage was lost. It looked burned almost. Everything had been fine and we could hear people talking and whispers until something growled leave, leave NOW! So as we left a group of extremely drunk men had showed up and where not respectful at all. We heard the most eerie growl and they ran like little girls. Something large and dark had chased them to the gate. Didn’t bother us though. That’s just one of many instances in short form.
