Took this in February of 2017 while investigating the area.
Does anyone know the date the witches were hanged?
This place is now closed off. We drove an hour to see it only to find it locked up with no trespassing signs.
Went there and didnt feel anything weird or negative. Saw these 2 supposed witch graves that have the concrete poured over top which is different. It says the name HARVEY on both concrete slabs with no date or anything else written. Hard to believe they would have given a witch a grave in cemetery along with other respected and loved people. Lastly I went there during the day time but feel if this place is haunted something would have still been noticed.
I am local to the area, the gates are not suppposed to be there. We talked to the mayor about it and he is checking into getting them taken down, cause they are technically blocking a public, county roadway.
You can’t legally block a cemetary u can open the gates right up And go in. U can not purchase my familys burial grounds and deny my access. Nor could I do this to anyone wanting to pay their respects. Now if someone is vandalising the property they should be jailed. People think they own every piece of land around here these days. Drive right thru any gate to a cemetery in my at least.
