Long Cemetery / Catman’s Grave
Frankford, Delaware, United States
Cemetery · local-legend
The Story
The Catman is described in Delaware Haunted Houses as a dead cemetery caretaker with feline features who still drives disruptive visitors away. The tale connects him with an above-ground tomb and vehicles that suddenly refuse to start. A 2019 contributor described their own ATV failing near the cemetery, echoing the older roadside legend. Do not knock on walls or disturb graves. The summoning ritual is folklore, not visitor guidance.
