This cemetery is well known for its "13 Steps to Hell." There were once 13 steps starting at ground level descending into the ground leading to the back entrance of a family tomb.

Some people were so traumatized they were left unable to speak. The steps have been covered up, but the cemetery remains a disturbing place.
