Tonopah Cemetery Ghost Hunt: Dowsing Rods, Spirit Box & Ouija

Tim Wood, Lily and Kristen investigate Tonopah Cemetery beside the Clown Motel. Their walk centers on the rear graves and an area the investigators describe as oppressive. Dowsing-rod questions and a radio spirit box are followed by a laser-grid check, reported footsteps and a voice near Tim’s ear. The group places touch-activated cat balls in a circle and reports several activations, while also testing whether nearby movement can trigger them. After discussing their impressions and cleansing practices, Tim uses holy water at graves and reports feeling vertigo. Tim and Lily then conduct an Ouija session, with letters and a descending number sequence called aloud; a growl-like sound is also reported. Kristen offers an impression of an undertaker, presented as her interpretation rather than documented history. Despite the original title, the available recording stays in the cemetery; the motel interior is planned for later.
