After I turned 21, i spent every night i had off in "my" bar. All the regulars would help clean up at the end of the night and then just talk, play drinking games, etc. I found out that every tuesday they all went to a local cemetary. The nick-name of this cemetary is "Hell's Hallow". So i went with them the next time. A couple of my friends had broke up about a month prior, and they started bickering so some of the people broke off and started wandering off. One of my female friends said she was leaving and started to walk out. About ten minutes later she came back shaking and said that a ghost just walked in front of her and went to the veteran's part of the cemetary and was now just standing up there watching her. By that time, me and two others were standing around waiting for the two that were searching for our missing friend.

After a few minutes i crouched down to rest my legs, and out of the corner of my eye, i saw a silhuette of a skinny man about 6'2" walk down the hill. I thought it was a member of our "search party" returning, but when i looked no one was there. My friend (the one i talked about in previous postings, that can see ghosts)later said that it wasn't my imagination and the guy walked around me a couple times afterwards. When the search party got back, both guys said that they saw a woman wearing an off white dress walking through the grave yard. At that point, the oldest in the group got an uneasy fealing along with the rest of us. Since we all knew that we should get out before something bad happened we left and i've only been out there once or twice since. I later found out that in the early to mid 20th century, the river next to the cemetary had flooded the entire cemetary causing a lot of damage, and that about 95-98 percent of the headstones were over the wrong grave because the flood moved and/or washed some of them away or to a different spot.
