The fun, family-friendly park Fremonters know and love today has a rather fascinating past. It sits on what was once the site of the city cemetery, and many of the city's founders were buried there. When the population began to outgrow Fremont's original cemetery, the remains interred there were exhumed and moved to a new location. Legend has it that some of the bodies were left behind, and today you can see their ghosts roaming the park after dark.

The Speakeasy is a delightful gourmet restaurant that's kind of in the middle of nowhere. It's worth the drive just to eat there, but hearing the tale of Faceless Fred, the resident ghost, is an added bonus.

His wife exacted her revenge by killing Fred, cutting off his face, and dumping his body in a well near what is now the restaurant. Patrons and employees have reported seeing and hearing a ghostly presence. The restaurant staff embraces the legend, and there's even a painting of Fred in the building.
