THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Local legend claims that the spirits of Adelaida Cemetery are mischievous enough to interfere with visitors, including stories of mysteriously disappearing car keys. The old burial ground has long been associated with eerie encounters and unusual unexplained occurrences.
At Adelaida Cemetery, locals say its ghostly inhabitants may swipe your car keys. It is said to be haunted by Charlotte Sitton, a minister’s wife who committed suicide at age 19 in December 1890. She visits late Friday nights in a white nightgown to lay flowers on the grave of her child, who died of diphtheria. In some versions of the story, Charlotte wears a pink dress and is called the Pink Lady. The cemetery also is said to have a tree that bleeds. Adelaida Cemetery is closed at dusk, and trespassing after dark is not allowed.
