He chose a section adjacent to the monument and across the drive way to perform his test.  Wearing the amplifiers,  he walked in grids around the section asking any potential ghosts to speak to him.  Just to be safe, he brought along a digital voice recorder with a microphone and kept it running while he solicited for responses.  Eventually, his questions became uni-directional... "can you please say hello?  Can you say hello? Please, say hello."  All the while, he left himself verbal clues about his wearabouts in proximity of the Cochran Family momunent... "I'm twenty yeards east of the monument, row seven near so-in-so's grave".   

   Suddenly, and without warning, Ardis heard what he believed to be a human voice Saying "hellooo" in response to his incessent demands for someone to say just that.  Completely unprepared for the thing to work, his fight or flight mechanism kicked in and he bolted towards the car until the investigator in him quickly regained control about twenty yards away.  He returned to the approximate area he had been when he heard the possible voice and begged for someone to respond again.  Thirty minutes later he gave up.
   
    He made his way to the monument and sat down on the steps to rest, and used the stone raling to block the cold wind that had been chilling his face all morning.  He immediately remembered that he had the voice recorder going through the incident of hearing the possible voice, so he played the footage back only to find it blank.  It was then that he noticed he had the microphone switch in the off position the entire time.  He was so angry at himself.
   
    Still not quite ready to give up, he started asking for reponses while remaining seated on the steps of the monument.  This time the questions remained a bit intentional, promising that if someone there would like flowers to be placed on a particular grave, then they should tell him the name of the person and promised to place flowers on that grave.  
   
    After arriving home, he reviewed the audio and found what he thought sounded like a response to that very request.  The possible response was a bit garbled but definately had structure.  To him, the name sounded like Anne Graber, or Andrew Ramer.

   Ardis thought about it for a while and sent the clip to three colleagues.  He did not tell them the specifics of the clip, only that he thought he recorded a name and wanted to know what they thought it was.  Two of them immediately replied saying they didn't hear anything.  The third, Jimmy Moore, did not respond that day.  The next morning, Ardis decided he should go back to the cemetery to see if he could find a grave marker with either name on it.  He walked the entire section where he thought he heard someone say hello the previous day.  Alas, he found nothing so he jumped in the car and slowly made his way to the cemetery entrance.

   Just as he was reaching the gates, his phone rang.  It was Jimmy calling to tell Ardis that he had listened to the audio and felt he definitely heard a name.  "Anna", he said. "Anna Cochran".  It struck Ardis immediately that he had been sitting on the steps of the Cochran Family marker when making that recording.  He told Jimmy that he did not hear Cochran at all when he had reviewed it, but thought he'd better look into it.  He threw the car in reverse and made his way to the foot of the Cochran Family marker.  He got out and walked around one side of the structure reading the names of the two or three markers on that side, then walked around to the opposite side and found the marker of Anne G. Cochran.  It was literally just feet from where Ardis had been sitting when he asked for the name of a person who would like flowers put on their grave.  Jimmy, still on the line, could only say "wow".
