Mac follows along, taking notes of all the details on the graves in the areas of the hot spots.
Based off this I will assume you are both heading to the north West quadrant of the cemetery. Putting NE was my mistake.
Jason, Mac, and Red head to the NW Quadrant where it seems to be a bit quieter, but there are some strong readings from two spots.
Hotspot 1 for NW Quadrant.

This one gives off a broad range of readings. Nothing that seems "Active" but an energy center nonetheless. Despite all this, there is nothing indicating a haunting so much as a presence of energy that radiates from this point.
Hotspot 2 for NW Quadrant.

This one, curiously, is not like the first one. It certainly is active and though it radiates no more energy than the first grave, it seems to be anchored to the grave but certain wanders about the general area as if moving around by a tether. It moves about in a random radius, as well as up and down, sometimes centering under the ground or over your heads, but never more than 10 or 12 feet at most in a sphere.
Joker heads south to the SW Quadrant and quickly finds two graves very near one another that are giving off strong readings.

*Are all the graves similar? Or are there notable differences in the readings?
The second seems much more established but the first is no less potent. The move around the exact location erratically. They interact regularly and seem much more kinetic than the readings he is seeing from the hotspots the others are studying. There is also a defined presence of ectoplasm. Upon closer inspection, Joker even notes that it is not moss on the gravestones... but a thin layer of ectoplasm oozing from the stones.
Of these two, they are. Both have the last name Harris. Both seem to be giving off a lot of energy and certainly overwhelm even the ambient readings in the immediate area.

Most certainly.

Nothing you can decern from the information you have.
