Maple Hill Cemetery is located in the city of Huntsville. Established in 1822, it's the city's oldest cemetery.
According to legend, the spirits of the children that are buried in the cemetery come out late at night to play on the playground. They're most active between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. This playground is best known as Dead Children's Playground.
Dead Children's Playground receives several visitors each year, including paranormal investigators. There have been several reports of strange events that have taken place at the playground, including swings moving on their own and the laughter of children.
Many people have even discovered ghostly figures in their photos after having them developed. If you look closely at the photo below, you'll see the ghostly figures of children playing on the playground's rock wall.
Several people are quite skeptical as to whether or not this playground is haunted. Whether you believe it's haunted or not, Dead Children's Playground is most certainly Alabama's creepiest urban legend.
