Sagamore Cemetery Haunting
In a small quiet Sagamore cemetery dwells an unknown force also known as ghosts. It has been rumored to be haunted for as long as anyone can remember. The strong scent of cigar smoke can be smelled throughout. Even the care taker Mr. Jerry Ellis doesn’t have an explanation.
The ghost is of an eleven year old girl in a wedding gown and has muddy leather boots. She haunts the cemetery for some sort of revenge. We believe it was some sort of murder. It makes us think this because there is also a ghost of a tall man in a top hat and and a re-lined suit coat of the age of around 20. When she died also buried right next to him and on her stone it read wife of the said person. But she was only eleven so how could she be married to a 20 year old man? We have a theory maybe this was some plot to obtain money or an arranged marriage. This all took place in the 1850s, so our next theory would be she murdered him and then killed herself because she could not bear it. There have been stories of moved headstones. I suspect a spirt of great strength or of anger. One of the most famous is the case of Eliza Howe. Her stone tipped over to lean on her husband’s, captain William Burgess, a heavy cigar smoker and that’s why there is a heavy layer of cigar smoke sometimes drifting around the place especially around the deformed tree in the shape of a nose right in the center of the graveyard. No one knows what caused the strange deformation.
Me and my close friends go there and research. Our most mysterious was on 6/6/06, June 6 of 06 and we saw a shadowy figure stalking about and then we heard an uproar of some sort. There was no plane helicopter or automobile in sight. It was all so very strange. Many people don’t believe us. Then there’s the three mausoleums one at the opening in which none can enter and its all tarnished and rusty. The second on the far left from the center, this one was carved into a hill. The door shows no damage even though people have shot at it with pellet guns and attempted to smash the locks and trust me I’ve tried. It looks as if it’s made of wood but its metal and very strong at that. Atop it there is a hole. I dropped 3 rocks down, 2 hit the floor, but one sounded as if it were caught. The last was new and it held some rich guy. My friend’s camera phone picked up some bizarre pictures. One was blank another was of the top hatted ghost and the last was of a giant spectral eye. Later on we found a muddy boot print next to the deformed tree. Then we smelled heavy cigar smoke a sign that the captain was near. If you have any further info on this haunted cemetery, please comment below.

Visited the cemetary with my 8 year old daughter and her friend. Upon exiting the car, the first thing we could smell was a strong, sweet odor, almost like that of a cigar. Planning a night trip soon!

Hello Mr Ellis,
Quite a unique story of the haunting of the cemetery, stranger things than that have happened. We met in 2007 while my wife and i were visiting mother Merle and my Grandma Myra Sears Grey’s grave at the cemetery. You recalled my Grandfather Richard Grey’s onery attitude while he was alive and I concurred that fact. Anyway, is there a way of finding out the info on the Grey’s Gravestone?

I am a grown man who went there a year and a half ago with a close friend and a regular investigator. My friend Mike and I smelled the smoke so strongly that we dug into the shrubs to see if something was left there. We(the three of us) a short time later saw a greenish blue orb for the lack of a better term about 10+ feet off the ground over the cemetery. I stll have our conversations on a digital voice recorder asking each other if we all saw it, we did. Mike is gone now but I still have his voice that night telling what he saw.
