Cemeteries are morbid places. As beautiful as some may be, there are bodies buried under the ground. How do cemeteries make you feel? It all depends on perspective. Do you see fields of green and curious tranquillity or rather a chilling spot best avoided at night? However you see them, these cemeteries are sure to evoke a response.
1. Green Bank Methodist Church Cemetery, Green Bank
All things eventually fade away. This cemetery was established in 1748; time has taken the text from many of these tombstones. Some are centuries old and years of wind and rain have left a lasting impact.
Many buried here are Hessian soldiers who perished during the Revolutionary War Battle of Red Bank. Strangers to the area, this is how the cemetery got its name.
This historic cemetery was once the host of a bloody Revolutionary War battle, the Battle of Monmouth. The church acted as a makeshift hospital and both the building and grounds are said to be haunted.
This striking cemetery almost looks like a lovely place to be. Its beauty even earned the cemetery a spot in the original Friday the 13th film.
