Status: Maintained

This cemetery is right outside of Stokes Forest State Park at the end of Tillman’s Ravine and directly up the street from the abandoned Walpack Center. It’s rather unusual because it’s literally in the middle of NOWHERE–no inhabited houses or towns nearby at all. And yet, I’ve seen people visiting the cemetery every time I’ve been there.

One of the trips I’ve taken to this cemetery was with Stu and John from The Wanderer, who have also heard that a witch is supposedly buried here. Even if this is an urban legend, the entire cemetery is strange, especially the trees. Not only are the shapes of the trees odd, but they have overpowered tombstones and have grown right over them. This is definitely a cemetery to be seen.
