Greenwood Cemetery

Orlando's oldest and largest cemetery, established in 1880 and containing over 70,000 graves. The cemetery includes "Baby Land" sections housing infants and children under five, many from the nearby Sunland Hospital.

Greenwood Cemetery, established in 1880 by eight prominent Orlando founders including Boone, Livingston, Delaney, and Robinson, is Orlando's oldest and largest burial ground at 100 acres. Notable burials include Thomas Jefferson's grandson Francis Wayles Eppes, Florida's first female legislator Edna Giles Fuller, and baseball hall of famer Joe Tinker. The cemetery's eerie sections called Baby Land 1, 2, and 3 house infants and children under five—many from the notorious Sunland Hospital. Visitors to Baby Land hear music box tunes, children's laughter, and feel ghostly hands touching or tugging their clothing. The Fred Weeks mausoleum is particularly haunted—his ghost appears at the entrance and reportedly chats with visitors. At the Wilmott family mausoleum on the cemetery's highest point, a male figure in old-fashioned military uniform is seen looking into the distance. The connection to Sunland Hospital amplifies the paranormal activity—many of Sunland's patients who died from abuse and neglect were buried here. Visitors report floating apparitions, disembodied melodies and laughter, Confederate soldiers roaming among oak trees, and strange smells. One crypt is said to be guarded by a ghost dog with a distinct wet dog odor. A grieving mother in white seeks her missing child. Ghost tours only happen a few times yearly.
