General Information
The OES visited the site of Elisabeth's Grave on July 8, 2001. Located in the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Area, the cemetery's official name is Mount Union - Pleasant Valley Cemetery. The cemetery was founded in the churchyard of Union Presbyterian Church that once stood near the right large tree in the rear of the cemetery. The church was organized on April 13, 1802 and the earliest known burial there was Joseph McCoy, who was buried in 1811. The church building and any evidence of it being there are long gone, only the cemetery remains. There is a local legend, with several variations, about a woman named Elisabeth whose tombstone moves to different locations within the cemetery. In one variation, Elisabeth hangs herself from a tree located in the rear of the cemetery. In another, Elisabeth is beheaded by a group of men who were angry about her inheritance of her late husband's land. This also took place near a tree in the rear of the cemetery. And the third variation combines the two others stating that Elisabeth hang herself in the tree, was cut down, dragged across the cemetery, and killed under a different tree. Angry men were also responsible for this one. In any case, her body was buried at the front of the cemetery, but her tombstone constantly moved to the place that she died in the rear of the cemetery. According to records, there are thirteen women named Elisabeth or Elizabeth buried in the cemetery. Of those thirteen, there are two that we are 100% sure died after her husband, Elizabeth Clark and Elisabeth E. Eagleson. We're only 100% sure that one of the thirteen died before her husband, Elizabeth W. Eagleson, thus eliminating her as the infamous Elisabeth. We arrived at the cemetery around 1:45am on our original 2001 trip. This night was particularly creepy because we stumbled upon some bones of a dead animal, probably some sort of canine. The bones were in the center of a large circle of tombstones in the rear of the cemetery, with jaw bones laying on top of one of the tombstones. After looking at the bones for a few minutes, we heard something coming through the woods towards us, so we got out of there. We did get some very high EMF readings next to a large tree in the rear of the cemetery, peaking at the top of the scale. We've returned to Elisabeth's Grave several times since our original 2001 visit. On one of those trips, we heard odd and eerie noises coming from a field across the road from the cemetery, kind of sounding like a corny Halloween sound. We couldn't find the source of the noise, even after using our 500,000 candle power spot light, and ended up leaving a few minutes later. On yet another return trip, we successfully tracked a cold spot for a few minutes before finally loosing it. The cold spot would move around and our EMF reader would spike to the top of the scale whenever it was placed into the cold spot. Many others who have visited the cemetery have had very odd things happen to them as well. Click Here to be transported to their stories. As a side-note, the alternate spelling is Elizabeth's Grave. Thanks to Craz for showing us this one.
