You can believe what you want but here is the story. In the 1800's, in Aurora NE., a woman was accused of being a witch. It was readily believed to be true, and she was burned at the stake or hanged (don't remember which). Before she died, she swore to get revenge on those responsible for her demise. She said nobody would be able to keep her in the grave and she would come back and haunt all of the townspeople.
After she died, she was buried at the far corner of the cemetary with a big headstone to remind everyone about the dangers of witchcraft. Four iron poles were put at the corners of her grave. Chains were strung between and across them. The next day, someone noticed that the chains were broken. Everyone felt a little uneasy now. The chains were fixed. A few days later they were broken again. Today, they just hang there, not connected across the top of the grave anymore.There must be something to this story becase this spot is still isolated from everyone else. Might be a fun one after dark.
