Subj: Our Investigations Of Genoa Historic & Mottsville Cemeteries.......

I have to say that this is one of the most magical times of year to investigate. While most groups hide indoors around the holidays we are out there adventuring through them. Sure its cold out but over the years I have found out that the less people that are out the more active the haunting's seem to be.

This would be a very unique investigation as we have brought on two new members of our team Chris and Brook. I am glad that were finally starting to be a core group of investigators who take a pure interest in what it is we do. So many great adventures are coming in the future and so many good times are going to be had. This is why I do what I do its all about having a little adventure and meeting some new friends.

Our night would consist of two historic cemeteries one called Genoa and the other Mottsville. This is a very old area of Nevada. Genoa afterall is the oldest settlement in the state of NV and its cemeteries is rumored to be the oldest in the state. So you can only imagine the excitement I felt being able to walk amongst the old crafted masonry gravestones.

The night was very crisp out when I checked temps near my house they were at about 12 degrees. We would be heading towards the foothills of the sierras. The moon was full just earlier Saturday their was a full lunar eclipse. I hope some of you were able to catch it as there will not be another one for at least 3 more years.

I met the team up at the bottom of the Kingsbury Grade which is your gateway into the Lake Tahoe area. Since we were already heading that way it was allot easier just to pick everyone up at the winter sports pick up area. Everyone loaded up there things in my truck and off we went.

We headed on out our first stop would be up in Genoa where I would show everyone around a little bit. Some of Genoa burned down years ago but allot of its old historic structures still remain restored and standing today. Most of them have tales of ghost all surrounding the town cemetery which is a landmark that shows the age of this first settlement.

Not sure how the team reacted when I told them tonight there will be two reindeers, elf, Mr and Mrs Claus. So I can only imagine what they probably thought I had on my mind for the night. As some of you know we try to cover various holidays such as in December we dress for the holidays just as around October were dressed for Halloween. It just adds in a bit more fun for everyone including the kids that browse our website.

We would start the investigation off by pulling on into Genoa Cemetery and our investigation would be start off the night of strangeness.

Genoa Historic Cemetery

We parked in the cemetery right next to where the first burial took place. Everyone was pretty excited about going here I know I was. Its nice to finally have a group of people who actually want to do this. Everyone is a good fit for our team and I know they will work out well.

We all gathered the gear and I dressed up at Lord Claus. Can you imagine investigating with someone dressed like Santa for your first investigation. What would you be thinking? I was thinking about busting some ghost and we did. The snowy sierras overshadowed the cemetery in the background.

Everyone sort of dispersed in different directions that way everyone could kind of collaborate their own thoughts on the cemetery. The stars were out the moon was full and it was cold. So cold that some of us lost feeling in our toes even those who doubled their socks.

In the distance I could see the smaller towns below the foothills and all sorts of Xmas lights decorating the houses. It was a fairly peaceful night from the get go although it would not take long for the activity to increase. Some of the graves had holiday wreaths and trinkets while others were had dimly lit lights that looked like candles off in the distance.

Near the back of the cemetery was a gravesite of someone called Snowshoe Thomson. Later on I found out this man worked for free traversing parts of the sierras and Genoa as an unpaid postman risking his life. There was an interesting historic plaque about this burial as well about performing rescues in the high sierras. There was also a guitar pick laying near his grave so its fairly obvious that he was and is still honored by the locals of Genoa.

Many of the older graves appeared to be towards the back of the cemetery. Some of those graves were surrounded by wrought iron while a few were broken in many pieces. One of the tombstones I first came across was broken in 3 separate pieces just leaning against a small foundation. The age of the stones within this burial ground are very obvious however so is the fact that some vandalism has taken place.

Tammy and I also found some stones encased in concrete to protect them from being broken or vandalized any further. There was another plot with over a dozen small tombstones next to one another. They were so closely together they probably were infants buried in this area. There was actually allot of graves of children who just did not make it. Life was harsh over 150 years ago here between the elements and sickness.

There were signs that the deer spent allot of there time at this cemetery as droppings were everywhere nearly scattered various gravestones on the ground. The deer are very abundant in Genoa especially near the fort where earlier when we drove by they seemed to be communing at.

I did not notice anything out of the ordinary during the first part of the investigation. We didn't have the EMF detector as its broke so we had to rely on our own senses. I could sense energy here but also feeling as if we were working with some very elusive entities. Tammy and Kyle were working on photos and EVP's.

We found in the center of the cemetery some very large monuments including a massive granite memorial. There was another gravesite surrounded by a wood fence up on rocks. There appeared to be older burials mixed in with newer ones in the center of the cemetery. There is also allot of large trees which surround many of the gravesites giving us the full eerie effect under the moon.

After awhile we all met up walking back to the truck. There we would have sodas, snacks and treats. I walked on off myself to take a few photos for our paracomedy page. Tammy snatched a photo of Kyle and I kneeling at the oldest and first man to be buried in Genoa.

Chris had mentioned hearing rocks moving around and being thrown. I seen his concern about this as he heard this going on during our break. He walked down the hill past the cemetery office and stood still looking on off into the distance. He explained to me that the rocks appeared to be moving a few inches off the ground then being thrown or shuffled around This would continue as the evening went on as we spent a fairly good amount of time investigating this location.

Our second half of the investigation would be Brook and Chris while Tammy, Kyle and myself headed on off to the Veteran section. We were walking down the road when Kyle seen a shadow running on all fours then vanishing. I am doubtful its an animal based on how he described it. Earlier in the investigation Brook mentioned seeing something move not to far from the oldest area of the graveyard then vanishing. This is pretty typical on cemetery ghost hunts based on my experience that ghost move around allot in cemeteries generally watching with curiosity.

When we arrived in the veterans area it was extremely cold nearly a 15 degree difference and it just cut right through my body. It was my first of two cold spots the other one would be at this child's grave who was 3 years old and had her photo embedded in her tombstone. Chris and Brook checked out the veterans section to they felt that chilling coldness. It didn't take an EMF detector to figure out that something of the unseen was in this cemetery with us.

Other then that the cemetery was very quiet. I had taken a team photo near these three tree like stones as it will serve as our Xmas card on our website this year. I love doing team shots that way you guys do not always have to see photos of just me lol.

We were about to wrap up the investigation and everyone went off back to the truck. I had to run on back to get my recorder I left it on a stone by accident while taking photos of everyone and filming LIVE interviews. Its something new I been doing every investigation which is getting everyone's opinion on what they experienced or their own theories on a location. I think that our viewers are going to like this feature it allows them to envision the investigation a little more.

This investigation was allot of fun even climbed up into a tree and stopped at the fort to check it out briefly. When I arrived at the fort I did not shine my lights and seen something run past me close enough to touch. I realized that there were deer all around me. I started running through the woods running the deer it was funny they were not very scared of me. Whenever I went a bit to close to them they would trot just a few feet away staring back at me trying to figure out what the hell it was I was doing lol.

My final take on the Genoa Cemetery that it is haunted. The activity here is very much apparent especially when your seeing apparitions moving around and catching shadows moving about. This is what I live for that element of surprise. I did have my own experience here when I was by myself in the mason section. I heard something run up directly behind me sounded like a little kid as the grounds crispness was heard as if something was running through it. There was also allot of birds inside the brush and trees. The team on occasion was startled by the birds as we stirred them up taking photos and walking amongst the graves.

After my fun here I took the team down this dirt road which led us to a parking area called Genoa Falls. They are putting in a new hiking trail that goes up into the sierras. I cannot wait till its completed I bet it will be a cool hike for us to do. It would then be time for us to finish off the night at another historic cemetery called Mottsville.

Kyle who has been on our team now nearly a couple months has been witnessing allot of the activity lately including the full experience of the Loganbill Ranch which ill be talking about during my show its good stuff man and away we went to Mottsville Cemetery!
