Andice :
Blue Light Cemetery:
The cry of a baby has been heard here, and sightings of a dancing blue light have been seen, along with feelings of being watched.

Anson :
  Anson Cemetery and Ghost Lights:
According to legend, during the Great Depression, a young child wandered from its home on a cold wintry night. The frantic mother searched along the road, holding aloft a lantern to light her way. The child was never found, supposedly frozen to death. To this day the spirit of the distraught mother still searches for her child. The Anson Ghost Light runs along Highway 180 next to the cemetery. Witnesses have reported that a bright light travels along the road, swinging like a pendulum, as if an unseen hand is carrying it.

Aurora :
   Aurora Cemetery and Alien Burial ground:
Although this cemetery contains the oldest known graves dating back to the 1860s, it is better known as the burial place of an alien pilot whose ship crashed there in 1897. A historical marker mentions the word "Spaceship" but the marker for the space visitor was stolen long ago, so no one knows exactly where the grave is located. It's supposed to be hoax but no one knows for sure. A serial killer is buried there. The scene of orbs and ecotplasmic occurances. (thanks Janet, for submitting this info).

Beaumont :
  Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery:
There's been alot of lore about the kissing statues here. Probably an optical illusion, but people have claimed to shine car lights on the statute, and they will embrace some more and kiss eachother.

Blooming Grove :
  Lone Oak Cemetery:
This cemetery is located along a dirt road. Whispering voices and metallic sounds have been heard.

Dallas :
   Cox Cemetery:
Located in White Rock Lake, this cemetery is supposedly 'very' haunted. We can't find any other information other than that, and of course about the Lady of the Lake which has also been seen near this cemetery.

Cason :
   Slaton Cemetery - More Blue Lights:
Dancing blue lights, cold spots felt on hot days (or hot nights), bushes moving violently when there are no breezes, and the report of someone being pulled into the cemetery by an unseen force.

El Paso : (two listed here):
  Concordia Cemetery:
There is a section of this cemetery where children were buried after dying in the smallpox epidemic. At two or three in the morning, the sounds of children laughing can be heard. The voices of Calvary soldiers can also be heard along with the hoofbeats of their horses.

Evergreen Cemetery:
A young boy, standing on the sidewalk, apparently asking for a ride during early morning hours, has been sighted. Near the railroad tracks behind the cemetery, a strong mist can be seen at times, accompanied by a strong smell. 

Houston: (six listed here) :
    Addicks Bear Creek Cemetery:
Fenced and padlocked, we didn't hear anything else about this one aside from that.

   Alief Cemetery:
The apartment complex whose property overlaps this cemetery is rumored to be haunted by the cemetery's inhabitants. Yet another place that is not safe for night ghosthunting even in groups, because of local gang activity. During daytime, go in groups as well.

   Beeler Family Cemetery:
Very small but supposedly has unmarked graves outside the walls of the cemetery, which usually signifies 'shame' or those too sinful to be buried inside. A man supposedly haunts the outside of this cemetery, possibly more spirits here too.

   Glenwood Cemetery:
Located on Washington Avenue, Glenwood boasts 60 acres of monuments and elaborate mausoleums. Howard Hughes is buried here. A reader tells us that this cemetery is not the place to be at night (it closes at 5 for one thing) and due to the neighborhood, not too safe to be there alone either at night or daytime.

   Hillendahl Cemetery:
Blue lights seem to be popular at a few cemeteries since this one also has blue lights glowing from the graves at night.

   Woodlawn Cemetery:
Another reader informed us that ghosthunting at night is not advisable because of security cameras and gates that are closed at night. It is privately owned and managed.

Huntsville :
Oakwood Cemetery:
The large statue of Jesus (once bronze but black over time from weathering), is supposed to move his hands from the palms up position to palms down, or vice versa. It is also said that the eyes 'follow' people walking near it. Quite an imposing figure to see on a moonlit night!

Kilgore :
   Danville Cemetery - Karen Silkwood's glowing grave:
Now this is something we would love to see! Rumor has it that Karen Silkwood's grave emits a faint glow, or a light greenish mist over it.

Rowlett:
    Chiesa Road Cemetery:
A very small cemetery containing approximately 64 graves. A new housing complex has been built behind it. The only occurance that happened when I visited this place was that my digital recorder refused to work, when it had been working five minutes before I entered the cemetery.

Sachse:
    Pleasant Valley Cemetery:
We have not experienced any paranormal activity when we visited, and none has been reported to us. This cemetery has been designated as a historical site. Many pioneers who came here from Kentucky in 1854 are buried here. Victims of the 1918 Spanish Flu Epidemic are also interred here, as well as Soledy Newman, a 13 year old girl, whose father donated the land to be used as a cemetery. She is the first recorded burial here.

San Antonio :
   Chinese Cemetery:
There are "No Trespassing" signs posted, including a sign that reads "No Witchcraft". We've been told that people will pull up at night,turn off the car, open their windows and flash the car headlights five times. White figures will begin to run around, and the sound of voices can be heard. Very small cemetery.

Scottsville :
   Scottsville Cemetery:
A large house used to stand at the top of a hill, but burned down about 40 years ago. However, the stairs to the house are still there, and those who climbed those stairs have heard the sound of a woman's mournful crying, but the cries would come from a spring house located at the bottom of the hill.

Springtown :
   Veal Station Cemetery:
The cemetery is chained at night as of recently, most likely because local news reported a glowing gravestone there.

Thurber :
   Thurber Cemetery:
Now a ghost town, Thurber's cemetery is still there, which contains a large number of children who died before the age of two. Death certificates of the era state causes of death as either "natural causes" or common childhood illnesses. Seems strange that so many children died in that one town. It is said that those who pass through this cemetery late at night can see small children walking among the headstones.

Wylie :
    Hughes Cemetery:
Located on East Oak Street,  this small cemetery is on a quiet residential street. While we did capture some very good EVP recordings (a few voices sounded very grumpy too!), we also captured the voice of a young child. No paranormal activity concerning this cemetery has been reported to us however, nor did we experience anything 'unusual' while we visited there, except for some very strong feelings Jim had, while next to the final resting place of a young girl.
Our investigation is documented here.

    Wylie Cemetery:
One of our web visitors wrote to tell us of their visit to this place, located on Fifth Street.  They felt as if they were being watched when no one was around, the sound of heavy footsteps were heard, and someone felt an unseen presence rush by her, on a very calm, windless day.
We have investigated this cemetery a few years ago, but found nothing out of the ordinary....except that my tape recorder (which was in perfect working condition with fully charged batteries) refused to work, and then began to operate normally when we left the cemetery.
Our second investigation on Nov. 14, 2006 is documented here.

   Cottonwood Cemetery:
We investigated this cemetery in 2006, and obtainted a recording of a woman's voice. Luna felt there was certain paranormal activity at one family plot here, but we could not enter this cemetery as it is owned by a church, and permission to enter must be granted by calling a phone number that is posted on a sign at the locked gates. Since we were not about to contact a church to ask permission to conduct paranormal research on their burial grounds, we stood outside the fence taking photos and making recordings. If you decide to investigate this cemetery, please respect the posted signs, and don't jump over the fence. (yes, this is our disclaimer !)



We invite you to tell us of any cemeteries that aren't listed here, or updates and stories of the above mentioned graveyards.
