One such grave is that of Eula Phillips, a 17-year-old woman who was murdered with an ax on Christmas Eve in 1885. Some say that Eula roams the cemetery at night. It's thought that, because of her violent death, she's confused and doesn't understand that she's dead.

Some people claim to have seen a soldier wearing a Confederate uniform wandering amongst the headstones. They also claim to hear the hoofbeats of horses. General Green was a cavalry soldier, and was killed while charging Federal gunboats during the Red River Campaign.

Reports of children playing and laughing amongst the headstones are common, and there are certainly many graves of small children here. Some have seen an old man who wanders around in broad daylight, appearing to be lost, but then he disappears into thin air. Visitors also report cold spots, even on hot days, orbs showing up around some of the graves, and a distinct feeling of uneasiness in certain parts of the cemetery.
