I am somewhat a cliche'. I grew up running around barefoot on a farm in Kentucky.
I love writing, art, sunshine, all animals and my incredibly patient husband, who tolerates my "crazy animal lady" side.
Some see graveyards as serene places of quiet and peace and go there to study, relax, and visit their dead. Others don’t necessarily agree with that concept and see cemeteries as a haven for paranormal activity. It could be said that a final resting place may not always be a place of rest, especially if you’ve visited during odd hours. It isn’t unusual to hear tales of strange lights, bumps, and chatter in the night at some supposedly haunted cemeteries in Kentucky. Many a nonbeliever will explain away the possibilities with scientific or illogical explanations. However, not everyone is a skeptic… and not everything can be explained away. Would you be brave enough to visit any of these haunted graveyards in Kentucky?

The above roundup of haunted cemeteries in Kentucky is certainly a good place to begin your ghost-hunting adventures in the Bluegrass, but they're by no means the *only* haunted cemeteries to visit in the state. One of our favorite delightfully haunting places to visit in Kentucky is actually at Maplewood Cemetery -- but it's not the buried souls who make this place so darn creepy. Known colloquially as “The Strange Procession That Never Moves,” this Kentucky landmark depicts 18 life-size statues frozen in a perpetual, preternatural parade. Specifically, you'll be joined by 18 statues in a strange procession that's seemingly frozen in time. These are the Wooldridge Monuments, or “The Strange Procession Which Never Moves,” the most unique gravesite in Kentucky -- and definitely the creepiest. These frozen figures were commissioned by Henry Wooldridge to commemorate family members and other loved ones in his life, including his dogs, Towhead and Bob. The effect is an uncanny spectacle that's sure to have you feeling all the creepy feels.
