As someone whose lives across the street for many years.This place is DEFINITELY haunted.Ive heard a kitten crying in a tree and when I went near to help it,it started LAUGHING at me and I heard it crying in two more trees then laughing when I got close again before I ran.I have been chased out by ghost dogs.You can see the shadow people walking around randomly at times.I don’t think these spirits wish to be bothered.If you do not have a loved one buried here just be respectful and let them rest.
I’m writing a new Haunted Island book. May I have permission to quote you in print concerning the experiences with the cemetery you have mentioned above?
