Definitely haunted

I’ve been to this church a lot and I can definitely confirm that it’s haunted. Every time I go there it feels like you’re being watched. The first time I went there I was just walking around checking out the headstones because there’s a lot of really old ones. I saw a shadowy figure of a tall man walking into one of the old family plots from the 1800s. It has a metal gate. That gate is old but still in hood enough condition that it wouldn’t just close by itself. Someone has to close it. No wind that night either. I think it’d be too heavy for wind anyway. But it moved after I saw the man disappear into the plot as if it was being closed behind him. On another trip I went back to see the graves in daylight and found out it was a grave of a soldier! A soldier is supposedly one of the ghosts often seen there. I believe that’s who I saw. I’ve also seen an apparat ion moving through the headstones just casually walking around. And i’ve smelt a strong perfumey floral smell that was strange because most of the graves are so old that it’s rare to find fresh flowers in the cemetery.

Caught Woman Ghost on Picture by Accident

I went with my mother to visit my great grandfathers grave. I’ve never met this relative, he died in 1954 when my grandmother was 10 years old. I took a couple of pictures for my mom. Later tonight I was going through the photos and noticed something in the woods. I zoomed in and it was a face of a woman. What’s even creepier is while we were looking for my great-grandfather’s headstone. Something moved out the corner of my eye. It caused me to jump and look. When I looked, nothing was there. I walked over towards the group of headstones and sure enough. The spot that caught my eye with a black figure; was my great grandfather’s headstone.
