The Haunting
Elkhart Cemetery is a reportedly haunted cemetery in Elkhart, Illinois. Reports tied to the site usually focus on apparitions and shadowy sightings and disembodied voices, screams, or footsteps.
Reported account from HauntTracker: the cemetery where Governor Ogelsby is buried. The ghost of his wife visits his tomb. She will be seen sitting outside his tomb for a few minutes when a group of Indian ghosts come up and chase her off across the bridge leading over the road by the cemetery.
The woods at the back of the cemetery there’s a fence that separates them with a step stool and sign next to fence. The sign say's, “grounds keepers don't wander back here neither should ladies and gents.” Well it's a path over the fence going up the hill didn't explore to far up but u can hear voices footsteps through the woods and you can see black apparitions like there watching you. Urban Legend is that at the top of the hill the path branches you have to pick which way to go but you have to pick correctly or you don't come back.
Anyone researching the place in person should verify access first and stay within posted or legal boundaries.
