There is a famous haunted cemetery close by, every weekend during the summer people come from hundreds of miles to see a ghost. I've investigated it a few times and while not finding anything find it peaceful. Now there are many legends surrounding this Throughout the years, I’ve heard tons of stories about Pere Cheney. People have reported all the usual paranormal occurances such as cold spots, apparitions, disembodied voices, ghost trains and everything else under the sun. So is Pere Cheney really haunted? Being that the ghost town is the perfect breeding ground for legends, most of the stories circulating are nothing more than urban legend and over active imaginations. Now with all these legends I watch as car load after car load of ghost hunters make there way around the cemetery. A coyote howls and they run for their cars and leave. I have seen lots of these ghosts they capture, dust orbs, a finger in front of a lens, a tree branch, a menacing bush. So what I am getting at is if they believe the legnds then they experience ghosts.
Commonly Heard Rumors About Pere Cheney

1. The ground is cursed by a witch or Native Americans

2. The town was killed off by sickness and then rebuilt again and again.

3. A fire ravaged the entire town.

4. Mass burials are all over Pere Cheney

5. Bad luck follows you if you take something from the town (although some will swear this is true and happened to them!)

I have ventured into many graveyards myself, during the day and night. I have never been afraid in a graveyard, they give me peace.

On the other hand, if i saw something with glowing blue eyes, i would get the heck out of there for sure!!!

I have been told that it's actually disrespectful to enter a cemetery a night. Has anyone ever heard this or something similar.

Age has nothing to do with it..I have seen and heard things as an adult that made the hair on the back of my neck rise. Many of us here have...which is why we talk about it and talk through it. Part of that process is ruling out other causes. All opinions on it are welcome as long as they are not attacking anyone. Bringing up the very real possibility that it was a dark night, with creepy shadows everywhere (that could have been anything) and that it might be your imagination is not attacking...it's adding another point of view to it. That's how we learn..from each others opinions.

And rob, I can tell you this...I have learned a lot more from people that I initially disagreed with than the people who shared my point of view.

ahhh SG you're so sweet Lots of love to you!!!!! Icontexto-emoticons-09-032x032

I have been in cemeteries too much these past few years and not just to investigate... to say good bye to loved ones.

Still feel at ease there.

May God bless those we had lost and for the ones that are still here. The pain cuts deep although life goes on you are always in our hearts and memories!

RM I always take advantage of the ghost tours...we are approaching my favorite time of year for that and it's always an exciting thing to me. We have one not too far from me in a small town called Clinton, it's filled with history and spooky old stories. I am not big on the haunted house scene...so this is the kind of thing I really enjoy.

Someday I hope to attend the Savannah Ga. and New Orleans ghost tours, they are famously spooky and go through the old cemetaries there. But again, as they are organized events they are with permission.

Rob, if this is something that interests you deeply you should contact the city and the cemetary and see if you can organize a nighttime ghost hunt or walk through. Do your homework and research in order to provide an interesting tour and event...and then post it on meetup.com. It wouldn't take alot of promotion, things like this draw people from far and wide. It would give you the opportunity to do a nighttime investigation and make sure that you are safe to do so.

No sweetheart I am in Ohio. There's a town called Clinton about 40 minutes from me...it's not too far from Mansfield Reformatory.
