THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Bosque Bello Cemetery on Amelia Island, Florida, is famed for its unsettling nighttime environment and frequent ghost sightings drifting through the ancient, moss-draped live oaks. Visitors and tour groups regularly report encountering shadow figures, disembodied whispers, and unexplainable cold spots near its oldest 18th-century graves. Local lore also highlights the resting place of two French nuns whose exhumed bodies miraculously showed no decomposition, an event accompanied by a persistent phantom aroma of fresh roses.
This photo was taken in August 2011. We went to Bosquebello cemetery around 10:30pm. I took several photos with my iPhone. Most of the pics did not turn out well due to the poor lighting. This photo was taken upon exiting the cemetery. A friend and I were going through our photos the next morning and deleting them, until we saw this one. Notice the image of the skull above the right tree. This photo is untouched. I did not enhance or alter. We were creeped out…sent chills through us. We yelled for our husband’s to show them the photo. It still creeps us out to this day. Last night we were all out at dinner together and we were reminiscing about our trips together. We were going through old photos and this resurfaced. I had always meant to pass it along to the Fernandina Beach historical society but never got around to it…until now.
