Haunted WV - God's Acre Cemetery Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

skyraider: It's been a good run, but I think it is time to archive it.

I never did have the proper permission to place this cache. I believed the Dept. for Geocaching from the State of West Virginia had obtained that permission and I just adopted it when they were going to shut it down.

Thanks to all that took the time to find it.

Haunted Challenge


God's Acre Cemetery


Photobucket

ExploreWV’s third geocaching series is Haunted WV, which takes geocachers to 20 of the Mountain State’s spookiest locations – that’s asylums, prisons, cemeteries, and much more. Some of these cache sites have even been featured on TV shows such as SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, TLC’s Ghost Adventures, and MTV’s Fear.

Known by many names, this Campbell family cemetery is home to the first missionaries in the Bethany area as well as many past faculty members from nearby Bethany College. It is said that the stone wall surrounding the cemetery keeps the spirits inside, as if trapping them with no way to escape. Common paranormal occurrences have been noted in this area including a disturbing presence and occasionally strange mist shows up in photos.

Please use etiquette and be courteous when geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it. Do not wander far from the cache site and be aware that some of these locations may not be suitable for the faint of the heart.
