When it comes to ghost stories, cemeteries often provide the perfect atmosphere. After all, if you’re looking for the restless spirits of the dead, don’t cemeteries seem like the place to go? Oregon has a few cemeteries that are reportedly haunted, but Rock Point Cemetery in Gold Hill is one of the spookiest.
Rock Point Cemetery is located in Gold Hill, and it’s more than 100 years old.

The cemetery is a pretty, peaceful place…most of the time. Some visitors report seeing and hearing all kinds of strange activity here.

Other, more sinister spirits wander here at night. A man in a hooded robe is often spotted walking around, holding up an old lantern to light the way.
