Purple Streak at
Gilson Road Cemetery
from the Hollow Hill staff ©2005
Gilson Road Cemetery, Nashua, NH
5 November 1999, about 10 p.m.
Photographer's comments: This photo was taken on a chilly, moonless November night. It is one of two photos with this purple streak, in an otherwise unremarkable roll of film. I was at the cemetery with five others from Hollow Hill, including one other photographer, investigating the "haunted" reputation of the site.
I did not see the purple streak when I took this picture, but I did sense that I'd caught something odd. I can recall saying, "Whoa! What was that?" when I took it.
At least half the time when I took photographs at Gilson Road that night, I saw flashes like the residual sparkles of fireworks. I saw these through my viewfinder when I took each picture, and for a split second afterwards.
Gilson Road Cemetery is a small rural cemetery near Hollis, New Hampshire. When this picture was taken, there were no streetlights visible within about a quarter mile.
Since then, a neighborhood of luxury homes was built across the street.
This cemetery is well-known for being "haunted." Local legend claims that an Indian battle was fought here in early Colonial times. There are also tales of a murder that took place in a home that was once within the cemetery's stone walls, and the house was later burned to the ground. After that, the property was turned into a cemetery.
Out of about 50 photos taken that night with two different point-and-shoot cameras, at least 19 show some sort of anomaly, mostly very faint 'ghost orbs'. Photos #19 and #22, before and after the two photos with the purple streak, show no anomalies at all.
