I didn't hear the voice with my ears but it was clearly picked up on audio (what the hell???). The Snyders were Michigan pioneers from NY state, as most of southern Michigan's settlers were. You can clearly hear an east coast accent in his voice. It is one of the best anomalous voices I've ever caught in my strange photographic ramblings ;)<br /><br />I also lived in A2 for many years and moved out into the Irish Hills area...that's where I began to become fascinated with history. Southern Michigan is a fascinating place!Ghost Highway Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061973240249175463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998928373240888221.post-40756757560318408012011-03-16T23:56:03.432-04:002011-03-16T23:56:03.432-04:00Wow... that is sad.

Death was a constant companion.<br /><br />The EVPs on the link are very cool... I'm not sure I can clearly hear the second one, but I wasn't even looking at the computer during the first, and I thought "Sounded like he said Snyder", and when I rewinded it and listened again, I was pretty surprised!<br /><br />I actually just moved back to the county after 10 years in A2, and over the past few months I've been increasingly interested in the history, but it seems like there are so few resources that I am able to access. <br /><br />I'd love to hear more of your stories!schwarzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188321271112409212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998928373240888221.post-58158729933397572052011-03-16T23:18:40.841-04:002011-03-16T23:18:40.841-04:00(left to right)

The article mentioned that I had recorded an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) at Aten Cemetery. What I recorded was a mournful sounding woman saying what sounds like "hurting...hurt me". It was recorded in the same area these three stones were located and on October 31, 2008 at about 1:30 pm in the afternoon. <br /><br />I often run audio on my photography shoots and have recorded some amazingly strange things...like this (the EVPs are at the end of the video slideshow) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz2T0guUIScGhost Highway Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061973240249175463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998928373240888221.post-13642009889108479602011-03-15T00:08:54.830-04:002011-03-15T00:08:54.830-04:00I actually didn't... what were they?I actually didn't... what were they?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07397529480417644952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998928373240888221.post-1228749432091746752011-03-14T21:49:01.788-04:002011-03-14T21:49:01.788-04:00Did you read the death dates on those three stones...Did you read the death dates on those three stones?
