You Won’t Want To Visit This Notorious Louisiana Cemetery Alone Or After Dark
Are you a believer in the paranormal? From antebellum plantations to cryptic cemeteries, Louisiana sure does have its fair share of haunted hotspots. This particular cemetery in a small town in Louisiana has been rumored to be haunted for decades now, and you certainly don’t want to find yourself here alone.
James W. Bryan donated 14 acres of land to create the Big Woods Cemetery in 1827. The earliest grave here dates back to 1844, and the cemetery is still in use today.
Stories of hauntings have been swirling around for decades. It appears that some who have been laid to rest here are unable to rest in peace and continue to roam the cemetery grounds.
Visitors report hearing disembodied voices and capturing strange, glowing orbs in photographs. Others have experienced unexplained failures in electrical devices. Several paranormal teams have investigated the cemetery and have come away with inexplicable images, moving shadows, and EVPs (electronic voice phenomenons).
Big Woods Cemetery is located at 3925 Big Woods Cemetery Rd., Vinton, LA 70668. Keep in mind that while this is a public area, the cemetery closes at dusk and it is illegal to enter after hours. Please be respectful to the property and those who have been laid to rest here.
