Do you love a good ghost story? This creepy little cemetery in Massachusetts is the setting for one of the spookiest in the whole state. Only the bravest souls will want to visit Old Hill Burying Ground in Newburyport after dark. Here’s why.
Old Hill Cemetery is also known as Old Hill Burial Ground and Sawyer Hill Burying Ground. But whatever you call it, this place has a seriously spooky history.
In 1925, teenage boys dug their way into the crypt and unclothed the mummified corpses inside. They propped the bodies up as if they were having dinner, and then the boys danced around the graveyard wearing the moldering clothes of the dead.
The boys were caught by the police, but another group of teens in 1985 found their way into the tomb. They reportedly drank beer with the corpses, poured alcohol down their throats, and performed other darker deeds.
And again in 2005, a man performing community service apparently broke into the tomb, severed the head of one skeleton and danced around the cemetery with it.
