I had no idea what to expect as far as expenses but was very pleased the options were very affordable. Although I did not have a service onsite, the grounds are definitley warm and welcoming the minute you walk in the door.

There's a handicap wheelchair ramp to the right, but little in the way of parking except along the lane. There's a blend of different markers from service members, sisters, and families. There's also a prayer garden off to one side and the place is quite nicely taken care of. There's still some room for more interments, but not much room. This is most likely not a public cemetery, only those associated with the monastery.

There are many beautiful gravesites scattered around the grounds just covered in beautiful seashells of various colors. Most of the headstones of the shell graves I saw were dated in the 1800s as well! Some of the graves were completely covered and some just had a cross or heart shape made out of the large scallop shells. All were oddly lovely to behold. And the most fascinating part about it is that no one really knows why these graves are covered in the shells! And only the older graves from that era have them. A lot of the graves are of the earlier townsfolk that came over from Germany and some speculate this might have been a custom from the "old world". Definitely adds an extra element of curiosity to ponder while wandering around the lovely grounds. It's easy to find and very pleasant in the spring with wildflowers everywhere and cooler weather. There are gravel paths large enough for cars to park. The entrance is well marked and the GPS will take you there easily. And while the shell graves are scattered around the grounds, they are obvious as you walk around - so they are easily found.

This alone makes for a landmark of profound historical importance when you consider the active influence Kendall had in national affairs during his lifetime and its enduring impact. By way of Franklin Pierce, 14th US President, he is also related to the Barbara Pierce Bush family. His grave next to his wife Adeline Suzanne de Valcourt, who was born in the shadow of Versailles, is so eloquent in its simplicity, a flat marker made from simple aggregate. At its foot a plaque installed by the Texas Historical Commission in 1989. There is a small shaded area for parking and a map of the cemetary on display to guide you.

The first was conducted at Sisterdale Cemetery in Sisterdale, TX, and the second took place several hours later at Boerne Cemetery. The former site is not listed on Yelp, so I am including my findings and observations here. If you are new to the field of ITC, then please scroll to the bottom of this review for an explanation. Sisterdale Cemetery is a small burial site consisting of approximately 100 graves, many of them belonging to Germans who settled the surrounding area. I'm not sure what compelled me to visit such a remote site, but I'm glad I did; I documented some of my best spirit communication evidence ever. Within a few minutes of firing up my spirit box apps (Spiritus, Sweep, and Vocibus), I began receiving clear, relevant, undeniable responses to my questions. Within a span of ten minutes, I heard the names of several individuals, all of whom I was able to identify as occupants of the cemetery. What I mistook initially as "Abel" was likely one of several individuals bearing the last name Ebell. I also heard the name "Dave Whitworth" moments before discovering a grave belonging to David Glenn Whitworth. When I thanked Mr. Whitworth for responding, I added, "Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Ryan and I'm visiting from San Antonio." The reply, "Howdy!" was unmistakable and gave me a chuckle. I love to hear names come through my devices, but I prefer to capture insights from beyond the grave. Alas, this is a seldom occurrence (spirits purportedly have difficulty mustering the energy required to manipulate a device for more than a few seconds), yet I managed to capture two mind blowing responses this afternoon. After hearing what I likely misunderstood as "bear," I happened upon a grave belonging to a Mr. and Mrs. Behr. I asked for a validation and received, "This...is...Emilie Behr...," which was the name on the tombstone. I asked Mrs. Behr, "What's life after death like?" and documented the following: "It's...peace...nothing to fear." The next example was even more impressive. I had just asked the spirits what they did to pass the time when I heard a perplexing response: "Been batting!" I glanced a few feet to my right and saw a tattered blue baseball bat resting at the base of a tombstone. I have attached a picture to this review. Later in the afternoon, I drove a few miles south and stopped at Boerne Cemetery. I wanted to return specifically to two gravesites I had visited several months earlier. During my first session, I noted the dozens of toys scattered at a child's grave and asked which were his favorite. I was shocked to hear "He-Man" and "R2" very clearly. I then rifled through the toys and found action figures for both. Unfortunately, my little friend was not nearly as vocal this afternoon (I heard only a faint "hi"), but I did snap a photo of the R2-D2 figurine. The second gravesite belonged to none other than George Wilkins Kendall, the man for whom Kendall County was named. On my first visit, his name came through clearly on my spirit box. Today, I reintroduced myself and asked, "How have you been, sir?" The reply: "Dead." Quite amusing, Mr. Kendall! _______________________________________________________ For those new to the field of "ghost hunting," a term I dislike due to its implications (I'm not "hunting" for ghosts), instrumental trans-communication (ITC) refers to the use of physical "spirit boxes" and apps to communicate with spirits. These devices facilitate communication by providing phonetic gibberish (random audio samples, white noise) that spirits can manipulate to form words and sentences. They don't use their own voice; they use whatever audio source the operator provides. ITC is similar to electronic voice phenomena (EVP), but the latter refers to disembodied voices captured from thin air, which even the most seasoned paranormal researchers have difficulty obtaining on a regular basis. ITC typically yields more impressive results, as spirits seem to be more adroit at manipulating raw audio than they are at producing EVP.

I then saw a tattered blue baseball bat resting at the base of a tombstone belonging to Gene Dunbar (1938-2016). I must emphasize that I heard the message *before* seeing the bat, therefore ruling out the psychological phenomenon known as audio pareidolia. The message was so clear that even my father (who's 75% deaf *and* somewhat skeptical) heard it. I didn't even plant the suggestion in his head; he looked at me quizzically and asked, "Did that thing of yours just say 'been batting'?" I plan to conduct a followup investigation at Sisterdale Cemetery in the near future. I've acquired several new ITC devices recently, so I hope to capture even more results. _______________________________________________________________ For those new to the field of "ghost hunting," a term I dislike due to its implications (I'm not "hunting" for ghosts), instrumental trans-communication (ITC) refers to the use of physical "spirit boxes" and apps to communicate with spirits.
