Imperial Historic Cemetery

California · USA · Cemetery

Visitors to this desert burial ground describe warm and cold spots side by side, and an immediate urge to leave.

The historic cemetery at Imperial, California produces a consistent set of reports from anyone who goes out there after dark.

The first is the sense of being watched. The second is temperature: it feels markedly colder inside the grounds, and there are warm and cold spots close together in a way visitors describe as unnatural.

Most accounts end the same way, with an immediate urge to leave.

Photographs taken there are said to come back with lights in them, which is the least reliable evidence in this field and almost always dust or insects near the flash.

The temperature reports deserve a note. The Imperial Valley is one of the hottest inhabited places in North America, and desert ground loses heat unevenly after sunset depending on what is beneath it. Graves, stone and disturbed earth all cool at different rates.
