The Story

HauntedPlaces.org distinguishes two kinds of presence at the churchyard: children heard playing around the graves, and a more threatening spirit blamed for frightening or physical encounters. One local variant says the children react to cigarette smoke. That is part of the cemetery’s lore, rather than an invitation to provoke activity.
