If you’re craving a real haunted spot instead of a cheesy Halloween haunted house with paid actors, we have just the place. The Keystone Cemetery is South Dakota’s spookiest and most haunted final resting place:

From 1927 to 1941, a whopping 400 workers assisted in the construction of Mount Rushmore, which consisted of non-stop use of jackhammers, dangling from scaffolds, and other back-breaking work at a low wage.

Despite dangerous working conditions, none of the workers died during the construction of Mount Rushmore; however, once they did pass on, many of them were laid to rest at the small, nearby Mountain View Cemetery, which overlooks the famous monument.

Also known as the Keystone Cemetery, Mountain View is a quaint and seemingly peaceful cemetery, but it is what you cannot see that makes it downright mysterious and spooky.
