SQ - 'Ole Mr. Buck's Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache is at Co. Rd. A & 20 on Defiance/Williams County line in a wooded area not visible from road. The name of the cemetery is Bucks Cemetery. Please do not cross the field near the entrance, I believe it is private property. Instead, use the gravel road that leads to it. The metal gates at the start of the road are usually locked, so you will have to walk.

The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project by the Northwest Ohio Geocachers to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. This cache is part of that series created by NWOGEO members to highlight cemeteries in the area. Please be respectful of the area, and observe the posted hours which are sunrise to sunset. For more information, visit this link on our website.

I rated the overall difficulty on this one a 3.5 because of the spooky and terror levels that can be involved. Legends about this old cemetery are vast and vary depending on who you ask. Everyone who I have talked to about it all say it is VERY haunted by some extremely unsettled and unhappy spirits. I will be doing some research on this one and will post what I come up with at a later date. For now, be advised it is not for the faint hearted. DO NOT DO THIS ONE AT NIGHT. Not only is it illegal (law states that graveyards are open from sunrise to sunset), but you also may find youself in a situation that you don't want to be in, possibly including fast running and screaming-in-horror away from the cemetery. Many people have reported that they have seen specters, lights, glowing eyes, various sounds and more here at night. Angry spirits are not something to be taken lightly. From what I have been told about this place, it's no wonder that there's no cache here yet. Over the years there have been many nefarious things that have happened in this place. There have also been several covens that have met here, amoung other things. In the daytime however, it's quite a pleasent place to visit, at least for me. I have enclosed some pics of the cemetary. I will also be informing the NorthWest Ohio Spirit Quest Geocachers of this one, as there are multiple headstones kicked over and piled under trees here, leaving multiple graves unmarked. This place needs some TLC and respect. It is our hope that some nice cachers will help bring reverance and peace to calm the restless spirits in this area. The cache is a 30 cal. ammo box hidden within the graveyard. I'd love to see some pictures of other cachers that visit the area! One of my caching friends, DewDrops, who lives there in Ohio, will be helping me keep an eye on the cache. Good luck and BE CAREFUL!
