not long ago me and a friend of mine went to massachusettes to see some family. and since we were there i decided to go to spidergates. i've been online and told some stories about that place, i have recieved a lot of e-mails about spidergates. i was dared to go there at night by myself...i am not a ghost hunter but i did live about a half of mile down the road from spidergates ,in a boys home in 1956. i am 61yrs. old and i can say i've been to spidergates more times than most people. i've been down there hundreds of times when the sun was out,this time i decided to go down there at midnight.

so i parked the car on what is called old main street, and walked up chapel street to mulberry street. i saw only a couple of cars while walking one was a cop so i ducked out of site. it took me about 1hr and a half to walk there.when i finally got there i started to walk down the dirt road leading to the cemetary.i have to say i was getting creeped out especially with the full moon overhead.the shadows of the trees hanging over me stretched out like hands.i heard things in the woods moving around.just animals....please just animals i thought. i haven't been down there in a long time at night ..... that is never alone.

i got to the gate the moon was shining on it, funny the gate looked a lot bigger than i thought it was.....shadows playing tricks.i opened the gate slowly and just like in the movies it creeked (bad sign)i took a few steps into the graveyard waiting for something to happen...because everyone says they felt something when they go thru the gate, i felt nothing. i stood there for a few minutes and all i could hear was crickets and frogs and boy were they loud...i walked slowly to the back of the graveyard and stopped, and looked around and again nothing.

it was hot out that night , i just wanted to get this over with, yes i was scared but it was too late to think about that now..i lived here most of my life, and i have seen things here that can't be explained. and all the times i was here in the daytime i never saw the eight gates and here i am after midnight and i still don't see eightgates. in 50 yrs i have never seen the eight gates. if they want to convince me and others ....they need pictures to prove it.so now i decided to go back to the gate i felt a cold chill i started to shake, i wanted out of here fast..but i didn't want to run it was dark.walking slowly to the gate i realized how quiet it was, the only sound i hear now is my footsteps no crickets, no frogs. and i knew i left the gate open now it was shut tight.... i went by the hanging tree to climb over the wall, the wall is only about 3-4 ft tall so i get up on the wall, i see a shadow on the ground of someone swinging from the hanging tree.

i looked up and see nothing in the tree but the shadow is still there,when i climbed off the wall i swear the shadow pointed up the road as if to say ....get out! so i started to walk a little faster than when i came in .this was not my imagination i don't drink or take any drugs i saw a lot of unexplained things at spider gates. but i have to say that was a 10 on a tension scale.....thank you for your time..........graveyard-disciple@hotmail.com
