What's up paranormals?
Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators would like to apologize for the lack of blogs and videos lately; things have been very hectic for all of us, so we will try and keep up with them as best we can.
Also, the team would like for you to know that we have finished reviewing all of the photographs from our investigation at Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells, Texas, and are almost finished reviewing the EVP's and videos; needless to say, we have a ton of evidence. The blog and video about Haunted Hill House will be posted soon, so please be patient.
With graves from the mid-1800's, Pioneer's Rest Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Fort Worth, Texas. The founder of Tarrant County is also buried there, making it a historically significant cemetery. It also is, without a doubt and to our discovery, a paranormal hotspot.

Paranormal Evidence
Sadly, we did not capture any EVP's; the cemetery is located right by a railroad track, which makes it next to impossible (due to the ambient noises) to successfully record any audio.
However, did we capture one photograph that we do believe to be paranormal evidence.

As the team approached Major Ripley A. Arnold's grave, our guest investigator Sheri and lead investigator John Hutshison both heard a voice calling out Sheri's name (it was not any of our team members). Luckily, lead investigator Linda Chadwick snapped this photograph at this exact moment. No one was smoking when this picture was taken, nor was it cold outside (this investigation took place in mid-August). Therefore, this picture cannot be explained.
Paranormal Experiences
Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators has investigated this cemetery numerous times, so over time we all have had shared paranormal experiences of this location.
We can all vividly remember our first paranormal investigation at Pioneer's Rest Cemetery. During our preliminary investigation that preceding afternoon, investigators Linda and Amber Chadwick and our guest investigator Sheri, walked the grounds to get a feel of the location. Even during the day time, we could already tell that this was going to be a good investigation; the sound of footsteps behind us and the tap that Linda received on her shoulder definitely was a good indication.
That following evening, upon entering the location, we all noticed the ominous veil of darkness that seemed to have blanketed the whole cemetery; that darkness was unlike the darkness that we were previously in. Once we entered the cemetery, the team was not fully prepared with what we were about to encounter. We automatically felt as if we were being stalked by a malevolent energy; it felt like we were the prey, and it was the predator; the leaves constantly crinkled behind us. We also continued to see shadow play throughout the night, one looked like a small child darting from tree to tree. One experience that really shook the team up, was when this malevolent energy shouted "GET OUT!" in a guttural tone. That startled all of us to the point where we seriously thought about leaving; needless to say, we continued our investigation. We even continued to investigate this location on a regular basis.
After awhile, the malevolent energy began to dwindle down; the energy became more of a welcoming presence and the residual darkness began to slowly vanish. We hardly ever witness any paranormal activity there anymore, so the team can definitely conclude that they have warmed up to us and are no longer defensive; that isn't to say that you wouldn't have any paranormal experiences there. So in conclusion, Heaven and Hell Paranormal Investigators can conclude that Pioneer's Rest Cemetery is in fact a paranormal hotspot.
