THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The West Main Street Cemetery Site marks one of Batavia's earliest burial grounds and has inspired local ghost stories for generations. Visitors have reported unexplained lights, shadowy figures, and an unusual feeling around the forgotten cemetery.
Some believe the early settlers of Batavia may have left a few bodies behind, however. That would at least explain why a strange woman, dressed all in grey, is often seen walking along the north banks of the Tonawanda Creek, in exactly the spot where the original cemetery was located.
