Hey Ghost hunters, your site is great, I know its going to be very popular. I stumbled upon it after I had bought your book "Philadelphia Ghost Stories" it was great. I was suprised to find out that you do many investigations outside Philadelphia, and actually in my backyard. Forrest Hills is a place with a definate aura to itself. When reading your reports my feelings when walking through there were very much the same as the members on your team. I walked through there for two summers, including this one past or should I say present(summer 2000), on my way home from the train station, and my route lead me until recently down the path of the Jesus Statue. Before I had gone the long route out towards pine road, but this summer I searched for a shorter route. The statue itself is a very 'creepy' entity. One peticular day I remember as I walked down the path various graves, the copper/bronze flat lying ones, had been ripped out and somehow dragged to the foot of the statue, it was very odd. I don't know if it was neighborhood kids or what. I dunno if this could be any legitimate reason for the graveyard's unrest but I think there may have been some overlapping of property lines and development when the neighborhood behind the treeline behind the Jesus Statue was built, where you were standing was at one time a part of Moreland township in Montgomery County who's history dates back to around the mid 1600's, most of Somerton Philadelphia was part of that county as well. Ok I'm proablly looking for things that aren't there. But I do know I shared the same strong feeling as one of the members on your team had felt, invading on the dead, its very strong, and frightening. I would think my neighborhood would be a large area for activity, less than about 3 miles from forrest hills is another graveyard and my neighborhood lies between the two. I'd love to know when you guys are going back, maybe I could join you. OK Love your site thanks again and be safe out there!
