It is said a time between dusk on November 21 and dawn on November 22, the ghosts of a father and daughter, that were killed in the Crouch Road murder, are said to reunite in this secluded cemetery outside of Jackson, Michigan. Claims of fog being seen settling over Jacob Crouch's grave have been made.
Our night began at about 7pm. We, the Highland Ghost Hunters, Started the journey into uncharted territory (for us anyways). We were on our way to the much talked about, Reynolds Cemetery. We have no idea what to expect tonight. The stories that we have found on the internet state that "people from all over Michigan come to the cemetery to watch the famous meeting of Eunice and Jacob." Will we arrive and have 100 other people waiting there to see the same phenomenon that we are seeking ourselves? The drive was a bit long and unfamiliar. After stopping at a gas station on Ann Arbor Rd. in Jackson to get more detailed directions to our destination, we were a bit excited when the man behind the counter stated that many others were looking for directions to the same location that evening. Finally, after about two hours, we arrive. To our surprise, others are there waiting. There are three cars parked on the side of the street. We sit and watch for a moment, we see a few people get out of their cars and walk inside. After a few moments, The people return to their cars and all three decided to leave. We are alone. This was our opportunity. We get out of the car and walk inside. The time is about 9:15pm. The cemetery is small and sits next to Faith Baptist Church at the corner of Reynolds Rd. and Horton Rd. We begin our search for the graves of Jacob Crouch or Eunice White. After intently reading every stone, we cannot find the ones we are looking for. We call Jenny, another member of the group who was unable to physically be there with us, for information. As she frantically searches the internet for better information, we are fearful for a moment that we are possibly in the wrong place. Jenny reads from a website about the meeting of the father, Jacob and the daughter, Eunice. The two are buried in two separate cemeteries just five miles apart. As the story goes, Eunice travels from her location to the grave of Jacob. So are we at the cemetery where Jacob is buried? Or is this the one where Eunice is buried? We are unsure, adrenaline is flowing through our veins, the excitement is overwhelming. Just as we are deciding whether we need to keep looking or if we need to find the other cemetery, a large group of kids from the area arrive. There were approximately 10-15 people in this group. |
