THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Goodleburg Cemetery has long been associated with reports of ghostly figures, mysterious lights, and unexplained voices. Paranormal investigators frequently visit the cemetery in search of its legendary spirits.
Goodleburg Cemetery was an active cemetery from 1811 until 1927 and is believed to be haunted. Apparitions and other paranormal occurrences have been reported here, and in fact, on the night of June 21, 2003, a ghost hunter investigating the cemetery was hit by a car and killed. According to legend, the hauntings come about because cemetery namesake Dr. Goodleberg practiced illegal abortions and buried both the aborted babies and the unlucky women who didn’t survive behind his home, which overlooked the cemetery. It is said to be haunted by one of these patients, called the White Lady. Babies’ cries and orbs also have been reported. According to reports, visitors are allowed here from 8 until dusk; those on the site after dusk will be prosecuted.
