A haunted Cemetery in Wintersville Ohio with an interesting Confederate Army Connection

My Father In Law recently passed and in cleaning out his basement I had a load of scrap metal that needed recycled on my way back to the scrap yard  I came across a well maintained but very old cemetery and came to find it played a very important part in Civil War History seems in 1834 The Cross Creek Presbyterian Church and Cemetery was started but in 1863 it was the site of an encampment of Confederate troops commanded by General John Morgan.  Yes that John Morgan and his Raiders  seems they spent the night in the cemetery on their way riding thru and terrorizing Ohio residents they would be forced to surrender the next day.

But to make this cemetary even more interesting is the fact it is suposedly haunted as noted in this excerpt from  The Ohio Exploration Society Website

– At the end of Cross Creek Road (Fernwood Road) is an old cemetery where a white figure is reported to have been seen wandering under the trees among tombstones. The figure is usually reported as female and is visible from the road. The cemetery used to be a popular place to park, but few couples go there more than once after hearing strange moaning sounds there. The ghost is not always visible. Trespassers often report feeling that they are being watched or sometimes hear someone following them. The origin of the cemetery’s ghost is unknown.

Never know what you will find riding down those lonely country roads.
