The Story
Avon Cemetery's principal legend concerns a mother and child associated with an old well. HauntedPlaces.org retells a story in which the child fell into the water and the mother's figure later appeared moving through the burial ground. Crying attributed to the child is the other recurring feature. Research/access context: Neither the drowning nor the apparition is established by the directory's account. The well and cemetery belong to the same location, and the folklore is not an invitation to throw objects, disturb graves or enter after hours.
