THE STORY
Reported Haunting
A 2023 visitor to St. Leo Cemetery in Leominster reported his dog reacting aggressively to an unseen presence before nearby wind chimes were suddenly struck despite calm conditions. He returned the following night with a 4K camera and reported capturing what he believed to be an apparition.
St. Leo Cemetery in Leominster, Massachusetts, became the setting of a modern paranormal account submitted by local resident Archie Dutrizac. On June 23, 2023, Dutrizac and his wife were taking their usual walk through the cemetery with their pug when the dog began growling and barking intensely at an area where no other people were visible. As they continued through a crossroads in the cemetery, the dog eventually calmed near a particular tree. Dutrizac then reported that wind chimes placed near a grave were suddenly struck with considerable force even though he observed no wind at the time. Curious about the incident, he returned to the cemetery the following night carrying a 4K camera. He subsequently submitted video footage that he believes captured an apparition. The footage is presented as a paranormal claim and has not been independently authenticated, and no specific deceased person has been identified with the reported activity. St. Leo Cemetery is an active Roman Catholic cemetery maintained by St. Leo Parish.
