If you’re crazy or brave enough to walk through Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery at night,
you get the eerie feeling you’re not supposed to be there.
It’s deep in the forest and the road to it is closed off, and when you cross the threshold into it,
you feel like you’re in a strange forbidden world, and the spirits are restless there.
An old farmhouse that’s like a mirage might materialize momentarily before you, and you might see the ghosts of gangland hits that allegedly were dumped in a deep algae-covered pond there.
And maybe you’ll see the lighted orbs that come floating out at night, blue, red, white, orange and all colors and sizes.
Some people think they are spirits or their souls. Others think they are manifestations of spirits, but nobody really knows what they are.
Maybe there’s a rational explanation for these orbs that would debunk the paranormal claims, but whatever the case, at least they’re not malevolent and won’t try to possess you — far as I know.
But if you go there, cross your fingers, just in case they might, to seek some luck and the protection of the holy cross.
