01/27/2001 - Background:
In the block of Charlotte which is surrounded by Church Street, 5th
Street, and 6th Street.
Settler's Cemetery is among the oldest in uptown Charlotte and has
historically been the location of reported anomalous activity. A
history of the cemetery was sent to the metrohauntings@egroups.com
for review prior to a preliminary visit to consider further
investigation of the area and the historic buildings which surround it.

01/27/2001 - Preliminary Visit:
The visit was certainly productive as an introduction to the uptown
Charlotte area and the multitude of potential research locations.
This visit included Carson, Betty, Janine, Andi, Chris, Lisa, and
several guests including a TV camera crew and a High School student
researching for a paper.
There was some discussion of a seeming anomaly in a Polaroid image
taken by Janine which was later identified as a sign which had become
visible in the viewfinder. Chris, Lisa, and Janine visited the
Dunbar Hotel and conducted an interview with some staff there -- further
study of the Dunbar is indicated.
In light of the anomalies in the above image and the general
feelings of those present, a night visit at Settlers is certainly
indicated. City ordinance seems to close this park at sundown so
any after-dark study will require cooperation of the City of Charlotte.
More to come.........
