The Ghost Story
Chief Highknocker drowned in 1911 attempting to swim across the river to reach Green Lake, and his spirit is said to still wander the cemetery grounds. Visitors report shadow figures moving between headstones, unexplained sounds, and orbs of light. Those who sit atop a particular mausoleum on the south side are reportedly pushed off by the ghost of a child.
