The Gilson Road Cemetery is reportedly the most haunted plot of land in all of New Hampshire. Located off of eerie and desolate Gilson Road, the cemetery used to be a burial place for Native Americans. Apparently, once non-Natives were buried there, the angry spirits began guarding the grounds in an attempt to scare off any intruders.
Another local legend tells the story of a banished medicine man from a nearby Native tribe. He would lure unsuspecting victims into the graveyard under the guise of "blessing" them with strong spirits who would help them protect their villages in battle. In reality, he lured them into the graveyard to kill and sacrifice them.
These stories were born under the fact that there is little information about how the cemetery was created. It's believed that it started with unmarked graves, possibly from dumping bodies, and grew from there.
Many people have reported seeing light anomalies in the cemetery and on the surrounding road. Others have claimed to witness full apparitions. Above all, one of the most common reports is hearing whispers from all corners of the graveyard...
