We used to go to this cemetary when I was a teenager...there really are many strange things that go on there.
Decatur - Greenwood Cemetery - Arguably the most haunted cemetery in central Illinois. Greenwood is home to "the Greenwood Bride" who can be frequently seen and heard weeping. , The Civil War section is filled with Confederate prisoners who died from yellow fever. Their bodies were buried in unmarked graves. Many say that these soldiers still walk the hills of Greenwood Cemetery and will even confront you. and a host of other spirits who prowl the confines of this large graveyard. For decades Ghost lights have been reported on the southern edge of the graveyard.
My cousin went to M.U. and he say's there is truth to this also.
Decatur - Milliken University - There are a number of ghosts who hang around the 150 year old campus. In the main theater, there is a ghost called "Track girl" for whom the performers leave candy before a show to ensure that all things will be well.
I tried to go here a few times...but would end up with a panicy feeling and ended up to scared to go in. I had friends that did go and swore they would never go back and the No trespassing sign is definatly there. I was a very eery place, you would even see strange things "like warning you" along the way.
Oakly Township - Pecks Cemetery - Glowing dots have been seen floating in mid air, wolfs howling, and sounds of feet running and when you look there isn't anything there. - There is a NO TRESPASSING here.You MUST have permission. You could get shoot. so absolutly DO NOT GO AT NIGHT.
This is my hometown here:
Taylorville - Andersons Cemetery (cemetery X) - This cemetery is filled with creepy paranormal activity. There is an old part of the cemetery that in the daytime is unreachable. Only after dark will the trees part and the path appears again to the ancient tombstones. Also haunted by a specter wolf that is said to chase trespassers.
We never made it to the "unreachable" part of this cemetery, they left out the "witchs" chair if you sat in it at night you would get weird feelings and it would feel like someone was holding your arms when you went to get up.
Taylorville - Stone Cabin - It is said that if you go out there you will see a dead dog and it's said to be sitting at the front entrance of the building only it's head. And there is a bridge right after it that if you walk across it you have brought bad luck upon yourself, and a girl was hung out there on that bridge. If you go into the back room of that cabin know matter how cold it is it becomes very warm. - Warning if caught trespassing you could get arrested.
This is another place I never made it to, we would walk at night and try to go up there but you would end up hearing dogs barking and the sound of something running at you...we always ended up turning and running back.
Taylorville - Witch's Bridge - In the 1800's a woman was hung off the side of this bridge for being a witch. Since then, it is said that if you stop on the bridge late at night you will hear footsteps. If you stay too long, it might take a minute to restart your car. Also, strange lights flicker over the creek below
We did do this a few times a couple of the times we went the car would do that, and the lights are true also.
There were several other places not listed here that we use to visit, and there was always strange lights, sounds, and feeling to them all. Of coarse it could be your mind playing tricks on you, then again you just never know.
