We went to Mt Olivet Cemetery in Frederick and we were using our equipment. We checked out a new grave just put in that day: We got temperature reading of 122 degrees, and we got EMF reading of 5. We asked the spirit what letters were in the spirit’s name. We used the EMF meter and when the meter went up (when we spoke a letter) we wrote down that letter. We wrote down all the letters. One of the members noticed what family was buried around the grave and the letters that we had written down spelled out that family name.
