The small Memphis Cemetery has a legend about its “witch’s ball,” a black marble stone in the back of the graveyard. Folks say that shadows and faces will appear in the stone, and apparitions and disembodied voices have been reported in the area as well.

My grandma is buried in this cemetery. The witch’s ball is within view from her site. I haven’t gone near it yet, but I have heard many stories about experiences involving the ball. Each time I have been at the cemetery, I have never felt uncomfortable.
I have been here many times – I have seen things on multiple occasions as well. I have seen the ball move on its own, multiple people walking around the cemetery even though I am the only person there at night. I love going and taking photos to see what I capture. Joseph, you need to go at night, you will feel very uncomfortable and possibly see something 🙂
Good luck.
I went there tonight and although I didn’t see anything. one of my evps I asked if it wanted me to leave. I heard a moaning sound I couldn’t make out but there was loud footsteps in the leaves getting louder leading up to me and then a deep breathing sound. i didn’t make those footsteps as i was trying to be quiet when i was doing the evp session. aslo i didn’t hear it with my own ears. it was a shock when i played it back. it was really creepy. this was my first ghost adventure so im hoping to catch more evidence soon.

We were driven there. We got out of the car, It was at 12:00 AM, When the ball started turning. We were VERY freaked out.. Luckily our Uncle and Aunt were there so we werent as scared as we would of been. I heard little kids singing “Ring-Around-the rosie” It was very creepy…. We got home went to bed and had a couple dreams…
