Sumner Knight Chapel

New Hampshire · USA · Cemetery

The whole area around the chapel is reported. Within fifteen feet of it the presence is described as almost overwhelming.

Woodlawn Cemetery at Keene, New Hampshire concentrates almost all of its accounts in one place: the ground around the Sumner Knight Chapel.

Witnesses describe the chapel as holding something deeply unhappy, and say the sense of it becomes almost overwhelming within about fifteen feet of the building.

Near the chapel there is also a small girl, who moves around and looks out at visitors from behind the trees.

The contrast between the two is what people remember. One is oppressive and fixed to a building. The other is playful and outdoors, and appears to be watching whoever has come.

The chapel is a granite Romanesque building put up as a memorial, of the kind wealthy families built in American garden cemeteries in the late 1800s, when a cemetery was a place people walked in on Sundays.

The cemetery is public and is a working burial ground.
