I grew up in Southern Illinois so some of these places I have heard about but there are some places I am just now learning about.

Haunted Graveyards: The ghosts of Williamsburg, Illinois and Ridge Cemetery

The little girl, just three years old was gone from her rural home. Missing. Her parents, started down the road which snakes along the crest of Williamsburg Hill looking for the child. They found her about halfway down the lane to the old cemetery , and relieved, the frantic parents scooped the little girl up and took her home.’

A week or so later, the family was in the car and passed the lane that leads to the cemetery. The girl piped up, “the people who live down there want me to come and stay with them.’

Knowing that the little girl knew nothing of burial customs, nor even what a graveyard was, the mother asked, “what people?”
The little girl looked confused, guessing that the mother knew all about their unusual neighbors, “the people in the ground!”
