Ramsey Cemetery

Virginia · United States · Cemetery

Walk through the gates of this Virginia burial ground after midnight and visitors report the temperature dropping regardless of the season.

Ramsey Cemetery at Norton, Virginia produces a consistent account from anyone who goes late, which locally means midnight or after.

The first thing everyone describes is temperature. It goes cold as soon as you are through the gates, whatever the weather is doing outside them.

Then the sound. Noises in the bushes on all sides, leaves moving with no wind behind them, and what visitors take for people talking and whispering to each other, never clearly enough to make out any words.

A shadowy figure is reported ahead of people on the path.

Norton sits in the far south west corner of Virginia in the coalfields, in country where the hollows hold cold air and mist long after the ridges have warmed. That accounts for a good deal of the first observation and none of the rest.
