History: The church was built in 1865, right at the conclusion of
America’s Civil War.
Hauntings: Loud footsteps often heard inside of the church. In fact,
most, if not all of the phenomena happens inside the church rather than the
cemetery. Some reports of strange lights have been reported in the cemetery.
Address: N 970th Street and E 2000th Road, in
Clark County, Illinois 62441.
GPS: 39.4371219, -87.8352103
The Ghost Research Society investigated Green Moss Cemetery & Church on August 4, 2019 and the team members included: Mike Rosario and Dale Kaczmarek, with help from Jason Snider, Courtney Breanne and members of the Crawford County Illinois Ghost Society
Equipment setup: No setup. We only used hand-held equipment such as
Ovilus X, DTD screen, digital cameras, recorders and camcorders, REM Epod,
Melmeter.
Experiments performed: EVP and Ovilus X sessions were conducted in
the cemetery proper.
Personal experiences: This was a quiet and peaceful location that
also had an old but beautiful wooden church on the property. No paranormal
experiences happened while we were visiting or conducting our EVP sessions.
There was an interesting marker
that had what almost looked like a mathematical formula on it that none of us
were able to decipher. Perhaps some smart subscriber to my YouTube page will let
us know the true meaning of it; if there is a meaning.
Evidence collected:
No Green Moss.MPG – while
conducting an Ovilus X session in phonetic mode, a question was asked,
“Don’t you like us being here?” The device responded with, “No.”
Words spoken by the Ovilus X in dictionary mode: spell; in phonetic
mode – I’ve had it
Conclusions: As this was the first time we visited this location, it
was meant more as a scouting trip to determine which locations had some promise
for future investigations. We visited this location in broad daylight but I’m
sure we would secure permission to conduct a nighttime investigation instead.
The church would be another great location to collect some evidence and I look forward to our return to this place!
