Elmwood Cemetery

My gandad built the house literally right next to the cemetery. The cemetery then railroad tracks then their house. And they lived in it until approx 2006. My dad grew up there and he remembers sitting on the back porch and watching the ghosts run around and move in the cemetery at night. When I would go as a kid and up till a teenager the side of the house that was closest to the cemetery was always cold no matter what you did in the house, heater nor fire would make it warm. My brother and cousins and I would go there at night and see people on the middle of the cemetery walking around but yet not a living soul was there, We would go check it out. There were eary sounds coming from it at night like big groups of people talking. We have left the mosulium doors closed and put solid sticks to secure and in the early mornings they would be wide open and the stick would be placed on the back wall of it. There have been footprints left in some ash we would put down in not a normal walkway and out of the way. My grandma had Polaroids of figures in her backyard and she watched them come from and go back to the cemetery. She said they were in old west attire and some in the 1900 era clothing. Which she believed was the Brown's family walking from the cemetery to their house (Browns mansion) at the end of her street.
