Back in 1992 my uncle bought the old school house on the corner for a hunting shack, it came up for hunting that year and we had a farm in Bruno so me and my brother rode our horse Lucy to the Hutton shack to go see the cousins and it was my brother my cousin and I and our horse Lucy, we walked down to the cemetery. I was getting like darkest times and all of a sudden we heard this guy yelling shut that effing kid up before I let him in this woman yelling no please no no and the baby crying and crying and and him just yelling and yelling in the mom just screaming and all of a sudden we heard the sounds of something being electrocuted. We were hiding behind the gravestones that was scary. It goes through my mind all the time and I just happened to like Google it all didn’t really happen but it didn’t happen in 92. I was we were hearing the I don’t know how to explain it in the find out that little boy is buried there in the southwest part of cemetery, I need to go back there and pay some respect and I heard him, but it wasn’t him. It was it was like not happening at the time I was here and what happened in the past what happened to him all these years this has been going through my mind you know I even mentioned it you know like what was it? 16 years ago to my daughter’s aunt about it and she’s like oh that really happened, my best friend‘s mom growing up is buried there

Hi all, I hope this comment serves you well. I have been to this cemetery more than once. Always active. I had a medium in my group and she was terrified as heck. The trees appearing and disappearing is true. Also a possible ghost dog or wolf hound whatever you call them.... We as in my group sat there in silence closely around each other around 2-3 Am to see if we heard or seen anything. I would not recommend going alone and its safer to go in a large group. Also heads up park further enough away where you feel comfortable walking.....

Lots of communication on the Ovilus. We brought gifts for the little boy and it was indicated to us to leave the gifts on the headstone which was just a flat like table due to part of it missing.

Went to the cemetery last night with my girlfriend and when we got there we automatically felt like something was watching us. The place was completely silent, the wind was barely blowing at all. As we were walking into the cemetery we heard footsteps and as i turned from looking at the little boys grave to the other graves I saw a head of him peeking out from behind one of them. He had this creepy smile that I had never seen before. And I went up to ask him why he was here he disappeared. We started hearing dog barks and whimpering. I turned to look at the boy’s grave with my flashlight and I saw him again sitting on top of his grave looking and smiling at me with empty eye sockets. When I took my spirit box out I immediately asked the boy why are you haunting this place I immediately got (the devil wanted me to) followed by ( get out or my parents and I will kill you) I never have felt so intensely afraid in my whole life. The wind did pick up right after and my girlfriend said she saw him looking at us through the trees. We also took note that we saw 4 trees right when we got in right next to eachother however as we looked after a while they were all in completely different areas of the cemetery. We heard lots of whispers and we also saw a lot of shadows roaming around. As we were walking out we heard on the spirit box from the boy( if you don’t leave now you’ll never will) we panicked and ran back to our car and drove off not looking back. This was about 10:14 pm. Heed my warning if you go make sure you have more than just two people because there is safety in numbers.

Decided to do an investigation here after seeing all the reviews. I went alone around 10 pm and immediately my motion detectors went off near the child's grave which I've struggled to have go off at other locations. I started up my spirit box and had multiple relevant responses from a young sounding boy on my spirit box and I've never even heard a young boys voice like that in the past when using my spirit box and at this location I kept getting the same young voice responding. I started to get an uneasy feeling like I was being watched and got uncomfortable during my spirit box session and then I thought I heard something n saw a shadow. I asked in my spirit box are you trying to mess with me? The response immediately is from the same little boys voice "No, that's my parents" and shortly after an adult woman's voice saying "we're evil". I left shortly after cause I was feeling uncomfortable for really no reason and on my way out i hear random footsteps in the graveyard behind me. I'm the type to spend entire nights in asylums solo but this place got me feeling weird and wanting to leave. For sure haunted and they will fuck with you. The dog barking is just a neighboring farm btw that's not phantom barking.

There are farm houses near by which have dogs so that's most likely where the barking comes from. But I have also experienced hearing the running twice as if something or someone is messing with you. Wind did pick up in certain spots then leaving the wind would stop which was odd. Did capture a photo of a head of a little boy peeking around a tree...I need to dig for that and I'd gladly share it. Weird feelings I'm that place and I'm going back again real soon. See what happens when I'm alone.

It's nice to read others comments and know that I've had a similar experience. Something playful or prankful is there that will make you jump.

I went with three of my friends and my mom. When he had gotten there the first thing that happened was I heard a scream but everyone I was with said they didn't hear it. My mom and one of my friends stayed in the car. I had only gotten out of the car for about a few seconds. My other two friends stayed outside and then came back in the car. One of my friends had a spirit box on her phone so she used that for a bit. We left because one of my friends was really scared and crying. And then my friend that sat in the front had zoned out for about 10 minutes and me and Taylor which was one of the friends I got out of the car with couldn't snap her out of it. When we snapped her out she said it was okay. Later at my house Kate said that when she was zoned out she saw strobe lights and heard screaming and scratching. It was a weird experience for all of us.

leaving the ferguson cemetery now, it’s 11:09 PM , went with my boyfriend and our friend. surprisingly we heard running, i saw a head and shoulders, i did indeed hear a dog bark which was unexpected. it’s a beautiful cemetery. this type of shit doesn’t spook me too much, so i know i wasn’t scared, so i stayed alone in the cemetery by the supposed little boys grave on the far southwest side of the cemetery, it spilts off from all the others and it’s unmarked and broken i believe, and i was just sitting there and i just started getting this horrible feeling, i just got so weirded out, and i started seeing things but that could have just been from the weird feeling, the weird feeling was like my throat was closing? or like i just got done coughing up a lung or something. and i felt like i was being watched so i looked around and behind me by the exit next to the little boys grave i saw some sorta shadow, it could have just been a shadow from nothing but it was shaped human like almost. creeped me out and i just stepped back and then bolted out cause i thought it was my boyfriend trynna scare me or sum but nah he was by my friend in the felid. my boyfriend went in alone and said he did see a figure behind a grave and got outta there. my friend doesn’t believe but he also does, so he was a little spooked and stayed out of the cemetery, but he said he hear something moving when we first entered in the middle of the cemetery, to the left. they also both say they heard whispers to the left aswell, which is the side of the cemetery where the “little boys” grave is. there’s definitely something weird there, hella old graves and it’s in the middle of nowhere so i don’t think anything can be explained by neighbors or something, which is why i’m posting this. definitely check it out if you wanna have a spook, make sure it’s at night but not too late cause yk trespassing. be safe and be respectful to the ghosts cause yeah the only time things really happend is when my boyfriend was being a sarcastic dick lol.

The wind did not pick up when we went in, but it got darker when we went in. We could hear small footsteps to our right, and saw an odd shadow sitting on one of the gravestones. Good place if you want to get spooked!
