This cemetery supposedly has a ghostly little boy who likes to look out over a tombstone. Reports say that his grave is the one in the southwest corner, separated from the other graves. Some eerie occurrences that have happened here include orbs, strange feelings and the sound of a phantom dog barking.

  • Heard footsteps and saw a head.

    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.

  • These reviews aren't lying.

    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.

  • I believe there is something unexplainable there..

    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.

  • Similar to others

    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 night I will certainly remember

    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.

  • I don’t know what it is but there’s something goin on here

    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.

  • Pretty Scary

    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!

  • Shadow Person Spotted

    Little shadow boy spotted between trees. An eerie feeling. We got very scared and left. This cemetery is pretty well known for being haunted.

  • Nothing Found

    A team of us went in there one night and with equipment and didn’t get any evidence what so ever. What sounds we heard, we were able to explain.

  • Real

    I've gone there a few times with groups of people. Each time i've gone i have heard the phantom dog and have had bad feelings. But the last time I went, we wen' t to the back corner by the little boys grave, and the barking kept getting louder. I then saw a figure in the trees by his grave, staring at me. I then felt something behind me and heard the grass moving. This place is definitely haunted and I recommend going there.

  • AKA Babies Crying Grave

    Went there with a group of friends one summer evening, clear skies with stars and moonlight abound. Showed up round 1 am and once inside the graveyard wind picked up very feircely to the point that the trees surrounding it sounded as if they would break. We all stepped out of the graveyard and the howling wind would stop, in and out we all tried this over and over. We finally kept going and made it to the large tree that is near the center, that's when the noise of animals running through leafs even though there were none. We never made it all the way to the back corner of the graveyard, just to spooky.
