The Ghost Story
Shadow figures have been spotted moving between the headstones at dusk. Visitors report cold spots near the graves of the Newhall House fire victims and hearing disembodied whispers. The sound of footsteps following visitors on empty paths is a common report, and photographs taken here frequently show unexplained orbs and mist.
