Old Settlers of Tabor
It was a very still night when Night Light Paranormal investigated the cemetery. Very dark and quite. The myth of the cemetery is that there is a woman in white that walks along side of the road and people will pick her up but will disappear after a very short trip with her. Another one is the one of the three headed dog that if you see it three times you will die soon after. Intrigued our group decide to investigate the clams.
We found this on the web about this old cemetery:
The first known cemetery in the Tabor area was known as The Old Settler’s Cemetery. This was the final resting place for many local pioneers & babies in the early 1880’s & 1900’s. All the wooden & iron crosses deteriorated over the years. A deed was found in the courthouse in Crookston, MN transferring the property (three acres) to Holy Trinity Catholic Church back on July 31, 1912 (Bishop Timothy Corbett, Bishop of the Diocese of Crookston, MN). The property was originally owned by Great Northern Railway Co (1886) and purchased by Joseph & Josephine Eidelbes who donated the land to the church.
Recently, Holy Trinity Parish took on the project of getting the cemetery restored and updated. Overseeing the restoration were Father Larry Delaney, pastor; Donald Holy and Jeanne Kotrba.
Weeds were sprayed, dirt was hauled in and leveled, grass cut and evergreen trees trimmed. All the old monuments and crosses were repaired and straightened. New grass will be planted in the Spring of 2005. “Most of the work was done by Donald Holy with some help from Amos Kotrba. Stennes Funeral Home located in East Grand Forks, will provide a granite marker to identify the cemetery (at cost value) in the Fall of 2005.
New stainless steel crosses were made by Holy with 2 inch wide strips (5’ long & 20” wide) and placed in the ground to mark 75-80 unmarked graves.
According to Tabor parishioners, when the first catholic church was being built near this cemetery, a tornado blew all the rafters down. Parishioners then decided to rebuild the church four miles north in Tabor. The present church cemetery is located next to the brick church in Tabor where regular Sunday masses still occur today. The brick church replaced the original wooden church structure in 1954.

Night light had did the investigation on July 11th 2010. I have to say that if you go out alone be careful! This place can scare you for sure. The night was very dark and very still that made it that more spooky.
As we sat in the middle of this place surround by evergreen trees and tall grass you could see shadows moving in and around the trees. White mist could show up as well, however not getting any of this on tape or camera will make us want to go back to do so. Doing evp work with in this area was great! I left my recorder on while we took a break and left it with in the cemetery, you could hear us talking a few yards away . We captured a woman voice telling us to “Look Out“ that seemed as if it was closer to the recorder than we were!
We also brought out the “Sprit Box” and captured a male voice telling us he was the only one there and that he wanted us to leave.
The EVPS you are about to hear are evps when the group went to the car that was about 150 yards away. There was only women in the group on this investigation.
Night Light Paranormal will be going back soon for more. Our research team will be researching for who this male is..
THE SECOND INVESTIGATION.
Our team finally was able to go back and did another invesitagation. We were able to capture many EVPS almost too many to add to the page. We will try and add some to the EVP page soon. I have to say that I never ever get spooked on an investigation but this place has an energy that I can't explain. For me it was as if I was intruding on their space and they did not like it at all. All we know about this place so far is that it had been abanded and the town of Tabor is trying to restore it. The photos I will display will show you just how small this place is:

The metal Crosses are all along the tree line. this is almost the same place where we took the video on the front page. The white figure would have been going in between the headstones to the right of the photo.
