Last stop for the traveling members of SJPR to Salem MA, was the famous Old Burying Point Cemetery.
The Old Burying Point Cemetery is located in the heart of Salem, Massachusetts. Members from the Salem Witch Trials are buried here. The cemetery isn't very large, but it's definitely old being established in 1637. It contains numerous cracked slate headstones, most with worn letters too faint to read.
Members of SJPR were able to spend some time doing a little daytime investigating. Below are some of our findings from the Old Burying Point Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts.

The Old Burying Point Cemetery. |

What a beautiful old cemetery. |
|
Investigator Bove' came across this stone that looks like it has survived a fire? |
 |
This headstone dated 1683 shows just how old some of the stones are. |
|
Among the stones you will find one belonging to Judge John Hathorne, one of the Witch Trials judges. |
 |
Sometimes, you swear you are being watched. Some of the carved stones are so beautiful. |
| We recorded a few voices in the cemetery including one that sounds like the voice of a child. We thought this sounded like the voice of a man saying, 'I want it'. Listen The second says, 'Thank you', followed by what sounds like a young boy saying 'Big boys don't cry' or could it be something else? You decide... Listen
