The OES visited Wolfe Cemetery on April 27,
2002. Wolfe cemetery was founded in the 1840s as a family cemetery with its
first burial of Rhoda Wolf in 1845. All of those buried within the cemetery were
either born or married into the Wolfe Family, except one. Wilson Patrick was a
hired hand to Christopher Wolfe. He had no family, so when he died, the Wolfe
family decided to bury him in their cemetery. The cemetery itself seemed very
well maintained on the date of our visit and many of the stones were only
damaged by weather. Of course, as with many remote cemeteries, this one is
rumored to be haunted. Apparently a witch or warlock was burned and buried here.
His or her grave was supposedly one of the stones with a flat top. It is said
that if you lay on it or touch it, you can start to feel heat and might even be
sucked into the grave. However, like many other stories, this is nothing more
than a legend. During our investigation of the cemetery, EMF readings were low
and EVP yielded no results, telling us that Wolfe Cemetery is most likely not haunted. If you decide to visit Wolfe
Cemetery, as with any location on this website, please do so in a
respectful manner. Thanks goes to
Shannon and Rodney for taking us to both the Wolfe and Dawley Cemeteries.
