The Story
HauntedPlaces.org records a weeping figure called the Greenwood Bride, ghost lights near the cemetery's southern edge, and apparitions described as Confederate soldiers confronting visitors. These are the cemetery's collected legends rather than verified accounts of the identities of those buried here. Concise original paraphrase of an attributed folklore source; historical details not independently established.
