Old Grey Cemetery does have a tragic and awful backstory that has many believing that it is haunted. Back in the 1800s, Union soldiers lynched Abner Baker and hanged him on a tree by the river. Many believed that the tree became haunted, and when it fell 60 years later, no one would even salvage the tree's wood.
