Last night probably was one of our largest investigations in months. They were very important investigations as far as supernatural locations go for the state of Florida. We also had two new investigators for this trip Lucy and Charles.
 
This was a trip that was very well organized and planned out as I spent weeks doing research on these places. So you can only imagine how exciting it was just to visit the Crystal River Archaeological Site, Yulee Sugar Mill, Stage Coach Ghosttown & Cemetery, and Finally the Wildwood Train Graveyard.
 
We started off our evening by going to dinner at a Chinese Buffet. It is one of the better places in the area as far as buffets go. I got some crab legs so I was pretty excited to know that if something were to happen to me I at least got to eat seafood lol. But it was a nice dinner and I would like to thank Lucy & Charles for treating us.
 
Sometimes many of our members forget the important things like making new friends and its just a nice opportunity to sit down have dinner with some of my members. I think that what we do here is what you make of it and those are the times you never forget.
 
We had a long night of driving but it was nice to get a break cause lately I just been drained from a busy October. So I played navigator last night and luckily we found ever place despite the little obstacles that got into the way. So we had dinner then we head on out to the Gulf Coast of Florida at the Crystal River Archaeological Site.
 
Crystal River Archaeological Site
 
Our drive was long getting here lots of country roads along the Ocala Forest. We were inching up on our location when the road was blocked off and they had no detour. So we had to head almost 30 miles out of the way to get there. But that is okay cause eventually we did find this hidden jewel along the Crystal River.
 
We parked and as soon as we got out I heard a lot of movement in the woods. I did feel watched as well as if what was here was curious. I thought I heard children talking in the woods but the talking was very jumbled and hard to understand.
 
We entered the gates and walked up a dirt road and it was very apparent right away that many cold spots existed. It was a fairly warm night so the cold spots in some areas were at least 10 to 15 degrees in difference.  At times I heard movement but more so I did not like the dog I heard barking in the distance.
 
There was a few paths leading in different directions we visited mound J which was fairly large and of course I climbed up on top of it. It basically was a small steep hill leading about 10 feet in height. We then moved through the woods and found a smaller mound hidden beyond some trees known as Mound K. Of course keep in mind different mounds contained different things as they were built
 
The area was getting pretty thick in foliage there was cold spots but also movement at times. Probably critters but still I kept pretty alert as we neared the giant temple mound labeled A. We climbed the temple mound which is this steep stairwell reaching to the top. Its around fifty feet in height but we managed to reach the top and wow what a view we had.
 
We were able to see the crystal river and bay from up here. I could see houses out near the water and the entire archaeological site from up here. Looking down over the edge you could see the trees canopying the area. I heard a lot of movement below us whatever it was sounded much larger then a small animal. I felt almost like something was looking up at us on top of the mound. Its a old native American mound complex so there is going to be a lot of unexplainable things.
 
We walked back down and I found a trap door which we stepped into and this part went into a section of woods which is off limits. We only stepped in though cause it was just a lot of thick woods and foliage.
 
We went back onto the path and took it to the right which led us to mounds C through F. This was the ceremonial mound area. Basically it was a bunch of rolling hills and mounds in this giant open area which we did climb down one of the slopes.
 
While walking along the open area I heard a lot of movement and I looked on over to see a giant armadillo on the run. I ended up chasing it lol but it disappeared right in front of me which I thought was kind of odd. Better luck next time I suppose. But it led me to a tree with a giant hole and this is an area I felt fairly watched at. I felt like something was inside of the tree.
 
We walked around the open area and you could tell that this was the site of an Indian village I mean many of the trees were old but this clearing was different then the other areas. This was an area they buried there dead as many mounds were present.
 
We finally hit another temple mound which was much small but we walked up on and eventually we visited the last burial mound. Basically what we wanted to do was take photos at each of the mounds. Charles did some filming with his camera hopefully he captured something here.
 
We did walk out at ease and there was some really heavy cold spot activity to a point where even I was freezing despite how warm I dressed up last night. I also noticed an odd scent while walking around like some kind of berries or herb in the air.
 
We did make it back to the car when a truck pulled up they scooted real quick when they seen me. I assume they probably were out to cause problems then got scared off when they found others were back here.
 
We spent sometime at the car for awhile just walking around picking up cold spots, noises, movement etc we all kind of went our own way. I could have sworn hearing some voices out in these woods and it seemed like whatever was out there was closing in on us from both ends of the woods. I gathered a more curious feeling from what was here.
 
I know Lucy a few times heard some things back in here and Charles described it as very eerie. I would say its a gloomy place I think some nights it might be hotter in activity. I do not think its real active in paranormal photography but there is a lot of little things going on as a Ghostbuster I tend to question here. But a few times what I heard sounded like walking then it would just stop dead.
 
We said our goodbyes then headed on off to the Historic Yulee Sugar Mill.
