I went with 2 other people, we were there around 2:15AM, didn't even get to the cemetery!
Was about 1-2 degrees when we got out of the car. The forest path was uneventful, but once we got to the main Grove trail, and around the 1st turn (the 2nd straightaway), things got very scary. First we heard a branch break, or something moving in the woods. We first dismissed this as an animal, but then it kept making noise over and over and over, almost in a rhythm. I said calmly we are here only to take pictures, not to cause harm, and if you can please show yourself. It was completely silent as I said this, and I asked if you understand, and we heard two noises, which were either branches
breaking or footsteps. After this, we heard footsteps moving closer to us, and once it got closer I started taking pictures as fast as I could.
We saw nothing at all the entire time, just the sounds we heard and what we captured on camera. In addition, we heard a little kid's bike horn honking in the middle of the woods. I know that is what it was, because everyone with me heard it. We heard it every 1-2 minutes, getting louder (and closer?). This and hearing noises all around us was enough for my friend to nearly pass out (he is going into the military too, but that is another story...), so we decide to turn around, and get back to the car. At this point, I am still taking pictures, walking backwards and taking them down the path towards the cemetery, because we still all heard noises, and felt a presence.
Pictures are in the order they were taken, each picture has a direct link immediately below to a much higher res version, direct from the camera. All these pictures span about 6-7 minutes.
One last thing- The direct links to the raw images are very high res, and are about 4MB. So depending on your connection, they may need a few moments to load.

http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1193.JPGMight I add every picture I am taking is now in the direction I hear noises/footsteps.

http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1203.JPGNotice the bright colors in the trees.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1204.JPGBreath again, white light in picture.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1205.JPGA lot of interesting colorful lights in here.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1206.JPGThis is one of the most interesting pictures I took there. So we are walking back towards the car, and I still hear footsteps behind us, so I am walking backwards taking a few pictures. Because of it being nearly subzero, my breath is still hanging for a very long time. I exhale, then take the picture. You can see a man wearing a black hood walking towards us through my breath. You can see it better if you inverse the colors, and at the bottom of this post, I have provided a lower resolution image of that for you guys to see. And there is a bright light to the white of the picture, obviously.

http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1210.JPGhttp://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1211.JPGAnother picture of me walking backwards, and taking pictures as we leave. I don't know if there is a figure in my breath or not.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1212.JPGhttp://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1213.JPGYours truly.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1214.JPGThe person begging me to leave.
I don't know if it is atmospheric or not, but there is a colored light to the lower left of him.
http://michonmedia.com/bg2/IMG_1215.JPGTwo lemon colored lights in the air, final picture we took.
The same picture of the hooded thing following us, except with the colors inverted, so you can see it better.
Here is a compilation of every anomaly in all the pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Was I a little scared when this was all happening? Yes! But I managed to look past that, and I realized I was taking some of the best pictures I ever have in my life. I intend to go back and stay there longer (and take many more pictures). Me going there on the 3rd certainly ranks as one of the most incredible moments of my life.
