Salem Cemetery

Our Experience :: History :: Past Activity

Salem Cemetery has been a popular ghost hunting spot in Ajax, Ontario for years. We have visited this location many times.

OUR EXPERIENCES

- Several times while visiting the cemetery we experienced the street lights going off one by one as we passed underneath them, with them turning back as soon as we reached the next street light.

- Amanda has seen a spirit of a man in the church who paces back and forth. He came to the window and waved with a smile. In later pictures we did capture something. She also picked up on the spirit of a woman named Laura. She told Amanda that her husband was buried with her in the cemetery. She came to Amanda as a woman in her early 30's, with blonde hair, approximately from the late 1800's, wearing a white blouse, with long sleeves, button up, with a long skirt that flared at the ground. She could not find the grave at the time. At a later time Rachel found information on the people buried there. We did find out that a Laura Rogers was buried in the cemetery with her husband Thomas.

- One of the nights while in Salem we felt we were watched, when Brenda saw a dark silhouette of a man standing at the Opposite end of the cemetery, as she approached him, he slowly faded out. Brenda said she felt as if he was some kind of a watcher, to warn of us.

In that same night we all had the impressions that we were being watched, at one point Brenda commented on a dog running along the outside of the fence that is in the newer section. It wasn't till much later that we discovered that we were being surround by a pack of wolves. Needless to say we jumped in our cars and decided to return on another night. Who really was the man that was trying to warn Brenda earlier, do you think he was looking out for our safety? or Do you suppose he sent the wolves to chase us out?

We made another visit, this time with our friend Shelley who is also a psychic. As we parked our cars Amanda and Rachel got a bad feeling. We all got out of the car and realized things had changed. All of us got a feeling of a hostile presence. As we walked along we noticed some of the gravestones were missing and there were impressions in the snow. Then Brenda heard the voice of a spirit say "Run, just run!" At this point we got really nervous and then Shelley's legs gave out and she almost dropped in the snow. A powerful spirit was putting a psychic attack on her because she was the most vulnerable to this. Luckily Brenda could help her out and we ran to the car! Someone did not want us there and was definatly angry. Our photography revealed a couple orange/red coloured mists forming in the air from this night.

Rachel was there at a later time and the stones were replaced. We have not been back yet for more investigation.

For the first time our new group members Amanda and Donny came with us! It was a great time for us being Halloween and all. We enjoyed dinner at the Jester's Court with some of the Rogers Television crew. We were in talks with them for a TV show. Anyways, we had a great dinner in the haunted restaurant. You could feel the energy as soon as you stepped in the place! The lights flickered while we ate and the little boy was out and about. We then proceeded to Salem Cemetery.

While taking pictures we caught many entities following our crew. Amanda spotted the shadow of a man running across the cemetery. We also spotted a figure behind one of the gravestones. Later in the night Brenda saw the ghostly figure of a man in the street. We followed her down the road to where this spirit was leading us and then heard the cries of animals near by! Frightened by what seemed to be wolves howling and getting closer, we got in our cars quickly. The man in the street was leading us away from the wolves to safety. We aren't sure who he is but we believe he is the watcher of the cemetery.
