 Tucked away within a copse of trees off a dusty road in the town of Southvalley is a small cemetery known all around as a place where spirits reside. It is said that the Old Catholic cemetery is populated with the spirits that are buried there. What walks there is anyone’s guess but it is said that if you are lucky enough and brave enough that you would see something appear before your eyes. Like many cemeteries Guernsey Hollow, as it is most commonly known, is mildly spooky during the day but at night it takes on a whole new feeling. A feeling almost of being watched, a feeling like whatever resides there does not want you to enter the wrought iron gate and step into the hallowed ground. It was not until my first year of college that I even heard of this out of the way cemetery that was supposedly haunted. I was introduced to it on one fine dim evening during the summer of 1994. A few of my friends had decided that it would be an interesting time if we visited the cemetery so that we could possibly get spooked. |

Guernsey Hollow I am intrigued with what I have heard about Guernsey Hollow Cemetery. My wife, son, his girlfriend, and myself took a day trip there today to check it out. What we experienced there was amazing. When we were at the upper right hand corner I experienced the strangest feeling. The only way I can describe it is like the feeling of vertigo you get when looking off the top of a tall building. Later on, my wife returned to that corner, alone, and experienced a voice in her subconscious stating,"I need to tell you that there are slaves here, beyond the fence, and no one knows. We are unmarked and forgotten.", or something to that extent. She also felt a tugging on her arm begging, "Please come". We are both sensitive to paranormal phenomena. When we returned home, I did some research on the Internet and found your website. To my shock and astonishment, I read the account of the September 27, 2001 trip. It was eerie to see that others felt something in that corner of the cemetery...and...the burials beyond the fence! Can you direct us to any information on the history of that area and the burial ground/foundation.
Please let me know what happened there. |

Just outside of the city of Jamestown is a small cemetery in which rests about twenty-five graves. There is nothing great or even remarkable about this final resting place last used about 1890. It has sat for over a hundred years watching time pass and along the way certain stories have cropped about around this little plot of land called Hollenbeck Cemetery. The www.shadowlands.net states that sightings of a headless horseman, of animal bones, calls for help, babies crying, and even of a strange knocking like someone trying to escape their ghastly tomb have all taken place over the years. What they do not mention is the sightings of strange hovering balls of light within the cemetery and the odd disappearance of most of the tombstones in July 1995. Placed in the middle of the cemetery is a memorial dedicated to those laid to rest beneath the earth. |

The Red House Just south of Salamanca is a little town called Red House where no more than forty people reside. Small by any standard there still persists a folklore about the origins of the town and its namesake, a crimson red Civil War era house built in the early 1800’s. The Frecks family resided in the Red House area during the Civil War and was not a stranger to the horrors that accompanied it. The eldest son John Frecks went off to war and never came back. |
