History & local legend
Members of the Berks County Paranormal Association spent more than a year recording at Huff’s Union Church Cemetery while trying to identify voices they believed they had captured. Their dated log preserves both their questions and the words they thought they heard in response.
During a July 2003 visit, investigator Rick Bugera asked how one of the dead had died. The group interpreted a recorded reply as “I got the flu.” In August 2004, another member, identified as Jeff P., returned with a recording they heard as “I’m Phil.”
That apparent name prompted a search through the cemetery’s burials for men called Phil or Philip.
