Background History

Braley's Pond is located on route 250, west of Staunton, Virginia towards West Virginia.   It is also
located in the very beautiful George Washington National Forest.   A very large pond that many people
enjoy for fishing in the area, it also features a very nice picnic area.   It was also the scene of a brutal
murder a couple of years ago.   A gang related murder where the victim was stabbed 13 times and their
body thrown in the pond to drown.   The forest area was also the scene of a suicide just a year ago.

Investigation Data and Experiences

The area does have a shaded history to it.   Several Virginia haunted resources has it listed as a official
haunted area in the state.   Our investigation of the area began at 7:30 pm.   Nine members of our group
attended this investigation, so with the pond being extremely large, we were able to divide the group up
into two teams.   Marty Seibel led team A (which consisted of Lisa Rose, Kristine Bunk, Melanie Duvall
and Jessica Ellis) around to the right side of the pond.   Roger Rexrode led team B (which consisted of
Michelle McGenity, Kim and Weston Rexrode) around to the left of the pond.

Team B recorded a few drops in the tempature along the trail to the left, with one drop as far as 30 degrees.
Team A recorded a few emf spikes towards the back of the pond, especially in the area where the body of
the victim was dumped and possibly the murder committed.   Melanie Duvall was able to talk and ask
questions while getting a response from the emf meter.   Melanie did know the victim as she had went to
high school with him.   Melanie and Kristine Bunk both having some psychic ability, experienced bad
feelings and vibes toward the back end area of the pond and on the left trail heading back to the entrance
where team B had earlier recorded tempature drops.
