The OES visited Old Agudas Achim Cemetery on
February 16, 2004. Also known as the Jewish Cemetery, this cemetery was founded
on August 28, 1891 with 1.99 acres. The cemetery served the Jewish community for
the next sixty years until the New Agudas Achim Cemetery was founded about one
mile south in 1952. Once the new cemetery was dedicated, the Old Agudas Achim
Cemetery fell into serious disrepair. Then in 1984, the cemetery was completely
restored to its former glory and was in terrific shape during our visit. Many of
the tombstones contained both English and Hebrew inscriptions on the front and
back of the stones. As is tradition in the Jewish religion, many tombstones also
have small pebbles and rocks sitting atop them. We have visited the cemetery
both during the day and night. There were slightly high EMF readings near the
rear of the cemetery and an EVP was recorded while walking down a hill near two
pine trees during one of our trips.
