This cemetery dates back to the 1700’s mostly of the Ballou family.
Strange light anomaly along with evps. Also captured a fully body apparition on trailcam placed in the open underground crypt. This road is off route 119 then onto fish hatchery road where benson road is on the right. VERY ROUGH ROCKY AND UNPAVED ROAD. Recommend 4 wheel truck.

Couldnt find the asylum. Checked out the prison gonna wait to do an all nighter with cameras and evp recorders. But. Jacob Hudson And I stopped at a cemetary. Just for fun. Locals said it was haunted. So. Im going to personally come back to investigate. Cause something is wrong with this place. And i love that sort of shit. True evil. All you could hear was dying dogs or humans in the background changing in all differemt directions (mind you this is 2 miles in the woods old 1700 cemetary….no one is around but us.) Tombstone cracked when you spoke its name. Raising shadows. And santanic ritual or something being performed in the open crypt covered in blood. And now our phones and equipment are acting really weird. Ive never believed in paranormal shit at all. But now. Thats starting to change and i love it. Show me where evil lies.
Evil lies within, within yourself.
Yes, this road is very bumpy and easy to pop a tire but a truck isn’t needed. While going down the road we noticed this was so random for a cemetery. My boyfriend and I went to this road in a HONDA! during the day and we couldn’t see going back at night we both had no service (we have two different carriers) turning around on this road isn’t an option the road gets narrow and we didn’t even notice that we were no longer on Benson Road. There is a random “shed” more than half way on your right almost looks like something hunters would use but hasn’t been touched in what looked like years considering how there is no floor inside and everything is caved in (we got out and looked) it’s almost like this road wants you to get out of your car we also got out because we ran over a log lol but seriously I sound crazy this place is something else. Best place by far!
Shine a light on the ceiling of the tomb for an unexpected effect..
A local resident committed suicide right by the fish hatchery right on Benson road about 15 years ago
