Deckard
I begin my walk 
on the circled asphalt path 
behind the old Lutheran church 
founded in 1790
the crickets chirp 
a defiant roar
as I descend upon their quiet space
clouds are dark and a bit threatening 
are they spirits taking form above me?
mistral winds on a windless day
seem to gather and fuse into words
sentences
held for a moment...clear
then lost to fuzzy and distorted whispers 
'They are here...'
'Isaac'
'Listen to me...I must kill'
'I have an angel'
'power'

before departing
I stop at a headstone 
I'm not sure why
but I attempt
to pronounce the last name of this departed soul
3 times
on the 3rd try I am interrupted by a young boy
who corrects me with the proper pronunciation
I turn at the gate and advise the spirits
that I am leaving
a friendly 'okay' came back to me

my God
I have walked in the living room of the dead


NOTE: upon review of my 20 minute evp session in this cemetery, I came upon more than 30 anomalies including several direct responses. I have been doing this since 2013 and have never approached the level of activity I received on this walk. The response I got when pronouncing the last name on the headstone and being corrected...may be the one most fascinating evp I have ever captured.
