The Story
Birch Hill Cemetery stories describe a girl in an old-fashioned white dress, a floating dark shape and a boy dressed as if from the 1930s. Haunted Places collects these as sightings at the Fairbanks burial ground. The clothing and shapes are features of the reports, rather than verified identities of people buried there. The cemetery is a real burial ground, and its folklore should be approached with the same consideration owed to any memorial place. Avoid treating mourners, distant visitors or ordinary nighttime shapes as evidence of a haunting.
