Word of the day/Pictures from the Bachelor's Grove Investigation.

Hello, dear readers. Sorry for the awkward delay in posts. Between balancing two jobs and a full time status of student in college, my life tends to get a bit busy, and I sadly have to prioritize what comes first on the "To do" list. Though, I promise more regular posts in the future.

Sticking with the Native American lore, we're going to cover the Wendigo today. Common in the Algonquian culture and mythology, the Wendigo is a cannibalistic spirit that people can be possessed by or transform into that basically, eats other people. Those at risk were people with greedy tendencies or who practiced cannibalism. Its physical features apparently look like a giant, grey, decomposing skeleton that gives off the stench of death. Whenever a Wendigo ate another victim, it would grow in size, symbolizing how it could never quite get its fill. Typically, you can ward one off  with some red thread acquired from a medicine man or woman.



Anyways, the Psychopomp Paranormal Society recently held it's first formal investigation at Bachelor's Grove, located in Midlothian, IL. If you're interested in reading more on the lore and legends that surround the small cemetery, click here for more information. Below, you'll find some great shots we got of the creepy little plot around twilight. Note: Some of the pictures could show anomalies due to dust, blurriness, or anything else that could have interfered with the camera lens. For photos, I used a Kodak 12 MP Camera with 30x optical zoom. 





The lovely people who helped with the investigation (From left to right: Tony, Emily, Valter, Tim, and Brandon; Not shown: Emmi and Gen).









All in all, I think it was a VERY successful hunt! To suggest a different haunted location, please email us at PsychopompParanormal@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!

Until again, dear readers! Sleep well!
