Investigators: Steve D., Anthony D., Dylon P.
Reported Activity: This was another investigation of a "Local Legend". Fallbrook Cemetery, located in the ghost town of Fallbrook, has been rumored to be haunted for many years. Cemetery is approx. 160 yrs. old. This abandoned cemetery has been desecrated, vandalized, and generally abused for decades.

Reports by locals of rumored paranormal activity at this location are so numerous we can't list them here. The town of Fallbrook existed until around 1900, when the coal ran out. Afterwards, the remains of the town decayed until now only the cemetery and a few old foundations remain. The surrounding dense forest have swallowed up the rest.
Investigation Notes: Due to weather conditions we only had a small window to conduct a quick investigation in less than ideal conditions. We arrived prior to nightfall while still light. The cemetery had a base EMF reading of 0.25 milligauss@50-60 Hz.

The air inside the cemetery was very still and very heavy, despite being a slightly breezy night (this is a common claim). Also noted was a conspicuos absence of any wildlife inside, except bats.

All three investigators reported feeling "watched" and felt very uneasy the entire time.

Several times a mist was seen moving around us and through the area rather quickly. We were only able to get one picture of it at a distance. There was no natural fog at this time.

Footsteps were clearly heard behind us once, but when we turned to investigate they stopped. We actually thought someone else was in the cemetery, but we were in the middle and could see 50-100' in any direction. We found no one.

Right before we left it got noticably colder and we could actually see our breath. Breath condensation was suprisingly heavy, like it would be if it were below freezing. The temp. reading was 59°F which made that phenomenon unusual. However, the humidity was high that night, as it had been raining most of the day. Once we left the cemetery we could no longer see our breath.

The review of the audio recording was interesting. There seemed to be a lot of various noises throughout, but nothing could really be singled out, with the exception of one EVP that sounds like a group of people all talking or chanting at once.
