When you’re driving in rural Wisconsin, you’ll see them, just off to the side of the road. Sometimes the church is long gone. Sometimes they are overgrown places filled with weeds. And sometimes, it seems like everyone has just plain forgotten. These places are Wisconsin’s rural cemeteries. If you pull over to take a closer look at the old carved headstones and old oak trees, you might find them more beautiful than you expect. But be warned, you might also get a little more than you bargained for. Such is the case with Walnut Grove Cemetery, a creepy Wisconsin cemetery.

The cemetery is located in Glenbeulah, a very old town in Sheboygan County that’s close to the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The village has fewer than 500 people, and it was named named for its location in a forest glen, and in honor of Beulah, the mother of a railroad contractor.
