My husband and I were just at the Sanksville Cemetery. We live in North Bay, Ontario Canada and we visit St. Augustine every year. This Cemetery definitely has a feel to it. I took an EMF reader with me but it never spiked. My voice recorder picked up some weird static but no voices. My husband picked up something that kind of sounds like "thank you" on one of his recordings. He said it happened after he gave his respects to the Sanks family that served . We are still on the road making our way back home. We won't know if there are any anomalies in the pics until he downloads them. Here is a couple of pics we took.

  I have since reviewed my voice recordings and I believe I captured someone on it. First it sounds like someone is saying " hurry up" then a faint "what". Followed by a clear mans voice saying " there's somebody with us". I am amazed. I will be returning to Sanksville Cemetery next year for sure!
