cemetery, haunted place
Oldest cemetery in Decatur and reported to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the United States.
All manner of paranormal activity has been reported here; ghost lights, phantom funerals, apparations, Civil War soldier ghosts, cold spots and other odd phenomenon.
The cemetery was abandoned from the 1930s until the city took over management in the late 1950s.
As such, it attracted a lot of curious youth and the neglected site spawned numerous folk legends.
