COMMENTS:
The cemeteries in and around New Orleans are creepy. With the above ground Crypts and the Moss hanging from the trees, it's quite spooky even during the daytime.
Voted : Boothill Cemetery ~ Tombstone, Arizona
^ I havent been there yet, but would love to go.
The Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, AZ is supposed to be haunted. Actually there are several old places in Tombstone that have been known for unexplained activity.
The cemetery near where I grew up was pretty creepy. The older section was in a lightly wooded section with old oak and pine trees. Some of the small underground tombs were so old and caved in that you probably could have gotten to the body by just moving a few bricks aside. There was one old grave we noticed that had grass growing on it higher than the grass nearby. We never could figure out a reason for it. Odd.
Let me tell you about my scary cemetary story. I went to Pittsburgh to visit my boyfriend's home. While there, one evening, he drove me to see an old cemetary. While there, I saw the image of a much older cemetary "floating" above the one that was there. He was looking in the glove compartment at the time and when he looked up, the image was gone.
Quaker Cemetery ~ Worcester, Massachusetts
Called Spider Gates because it has eight gates, this cemetery is said to be very dangerous. Starting at the first gate it is said that one will hear whispers and notice leaves moving around when the wind is calm. As one gets closer to the eighth gate, it is said they will feel the sensation of someone brushing against them. Others have reported seeing people walking aimlessly around graves. As one gets closer to the eight gate, the sensations and images become so strong that most people faint. No one has ever made it to the eight gate. It is said that some have suffered massive heart attacks and died because they were over come with fear.
^There's probably a false bottom in front of the eighth gate or something. Just so they can perpetuate the legend and continue stealing cemetery jobs from REAL Americans.

Strange lights and apparitions are said to have been witnessed in this cemetery. Blue light has been seen flickering above and weaving its way around gravestones, only to disappear in the nearby woods. Occultists are believed to meet in this cemetery, which, some believe, stir up the dead and make ghosts more active.
Chestnut Hill Cemetery in Exeter Rhode Island.
This cemetery boasts the ghost of Marcy Brown, a poor young girl who died in 1892. Supposedly, she visited her father every night after her death, pleading with him for food. The father grew to believe his daughter had become a vampire, and convinced the local officials to exhume her body and drain it of remaining blood and remove her organs. This violating act may just be the reason Marcy Brown haunts this cemetery day and night.
Voted : Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery ~ Atoka, Tennessee

There is a little graveyard just outside of Waco in China Springs. Cold chills are common, pictures get interesting, and the animals act weird.
