I already posted this in the paranormal section of TreasureNet, always fun to check that area out, a lot of interesting people and stories there lol. I figured I would also post it here due realizing how inactive that section is. Sorry if this is breaking rules or annoying, feel free to delete it.
I finally got to check an old colonial road with a 1720's homestead next to it. I traced the deed, between 1890 and 1930 the place changed hands extremely often and included at least 2 deaths on the premise, after around 1940 it is extremely hard to trace though I found tons of 1960's stuff including a licence plate. I went there at 5 pm today with a friend, so many crappy signals, endless house parts. Nothing colonial to be found, just old 1930's trash including nearly 50 carbon battery rods littering the place. Here's the parts that freaks me out just to talk about it. After the sun starts to set, this place makes the most haunted cemetery in my state look like a cute charming child's playground during a birthday party I have been to the cemetery before, tons of history, very old and very cool. I did research and found out how extremely haunted it is said to be. Anyways, me and my friend were digging a hole when all of a sudden at once we start to feel like there are spirits us. The place begin to feel very odd and creepy, then at once it felt like many spirits were there all at once making a circle around us, watching us and coming closer. At the same time we both said together, "Holy crap lets get out of here now!". We ran down the road, at the same time we felt something press our necks softly making it hard to swallow (we noticed this almost at the exact moment together). We felt it chasing us down the road, pressing around our necks, it wanted to get us out of there. Terrified we ran to the pavement and into the parking spot, at this moment it all stops, what ever it was was gone. Never have I been more scared in my life. I never was into paranormal activity and I am by no means a ghost hunter, but I have to admit that this was completely insane. I noticed a for sale sign on the land by the town, on the other side of the road is a brand new 2000's plastic house community so I assume they are going to do the same on the other side when it is bought. Who ever ends up living there is going to probably want to move out after the first night. I have detected many colonial sites, many have a kind of peaceful feeling in the air, even after dark. This was something out of a horror movie. Also, did I forget to mention something very scary, which is extremely hard to explain. I found a live shotgun shell earlier in the hunt, pretty common to find them so it was nothing unusual. I put it deep in my pocket, under an old lamp, hoping it doesn't accidentally fire. The last signal I dug was a deep 60s signal (shotgun shell sound) where the scary stuff took place. I dug forever and suddenly the signal went away, it wasn't anywhere, not even when I removed everything from the bottom of the hole and gridded around it. I checked everywhere while the beginning of the haunting was starting to take place. I was panicking slightly, dying to find it so I can leave, feeling a lingering presence increasing in power at each second. Right as the true haunting began, when me and my friend felt like we were suddenly surrounded I got an insanely strong signal right 3 inches from the side of the hole, I don't remember checking there with my detector due to a small pine tree's bare twiggy branches being in the way. The live shotgun shell I found an hour before was staring back at me from the mud. It could have fallen out while I was checking, but I don't remember bending down at all, and especially not in the area.My friend claims to have seen shadows of people out of the corner of their eye during the haunting, I don't remember seeing anything though. They had the same exact experience as me other than that. They were equally terrified and said as we were in the parking lot, "Even if I knew that the next signal was a gold coin I would have still got the hell out of there." My friend claims that they feel like the ghost that chased us down the road was an 1890's lumberjack, though I can not verify that it was, I know for one thing that whoever it was was not very nice.
Also, The first time I went there to scout I heard loud rustling and loud growling noises, if there are bears there then it is probably not a good idea to go there after dark anyways, regardless of any spirits.
Anyone else have any other scary ghost stories to share that happened metal detecting?
Sorry for my bad fragmented writing, I am still very shook up, this happened only an hour ago. Any doubts I had about ghosts have been completely brushed away.
Also, we were completely sober
