Who you gonna call? Ghost hunters!

Another site that was close to our school was the Chestnut Hill Cemetery that was located in Exeter as well. We discovered this by searching the internet and I couldn't help but recognize the name, Mercy Brown, who was a suspected vampire buried in this cemetery. I then thought back to high school and how one of my professors spoke of this place on Halloween when we were all sharing scary stories. Katie and I did further research about her and it gives me chills just thinking of the tale of Mercy Brown. She was supposedly a vampire because, for whatever reason, her father dug up her body to find her blood still retained in her body and had no sign of deceasing. Therefore, it is said that people have seen her in the cemetery at night along with blue lights the float along the graves. We were dying to know if this was true and decided to take a drive with a few of our friends one night.

After getting lost a couple of times and soon realizing we had passed the cemetery more than once, we pulled in. Except for maybe one street light, it was hard to see but we got out of the car and walked around to find Mercy Brown's grave alongside with her family members' graves. We had read online that her body was moved to a crypt and we quickly spotted that, as it was a huge stone wall enclosed by doors that kept in her body. We swore we heard noises coming from that crypt, I don't care what anyone says!

I should also mention now that I am a complete skeptic when it comes to the paranormal. Of course, I would love to experience something but I do not jump to conclusions with these kinds of things. Therefore, you should take my word when I claim to have witnessed something!
Anyways, after walking around a bit and getting completely spooked, a light came on in the distance and a dog began barking. It scared the heck out of me, let me tell ya! It turned out to be a resident of a house next to the graveyard and we decided it would be best to leave before we got into trouble. However, it made me suspicious because people must visit this site often enough for the neighbor to know that we were there- the house wasn't that close to the cemetery! It was crazy that anyone even saw us. Maybe this gives a little more truth to the haunting of this grave site because of how many people are willing to visit it and find out the truth...I look forward to going back soon and experiencing the apparition of Mercy herself!
