The late-1800s house across the street from the cemetery, according to local folklore, was long ago the home of a young girl who was beaten and starved to death by her parents. **The house is private property; please respect the current owners’ privacy.** The girl is said to have been buried in the cemetery. Folks have heard the sounds of beatings coming from the house and experienced strange mechanical things happening to their cars as they pass by or visit the cemetery.

Look for Drucillas grave….you will hear her cries for help…in the back at the edge of the woods..
There is also a spirit of an old Confederate Soldier that is said to haunt the grounds. You can hear them speaking to you.

Where are you getting your information? The legend of Drucilla’s grave has nothing to do with a child being beaten. The Drucilla legend is about a woman who was wrongly accused of being a witch and was hanged for witchcraft. According to legend, it was actually her sister who was the witch.
I have lived here my entire life and I’ve NEVER heard the story of a little girl being beaten to death.
I’ve been amused at all of the stories that have generated from people around that area about this one poor woman. I’ve hung out at Jones many times over the last 25 years, mostly picking up trash like beer bottles left behind by thrill seekers and other people of low character.
incorrect drucila wasn’t a Wich nor was she a small child she died of natural causes she was an elderly black woman will was her husband the cemetery is all black cemetery and the Burkett house has nothing to do with the cemetery I’ve talked to her relatives and done the research all of the storys are false
where u get your info from you dumb
I don’t know if anyone will even read this…but I lived on maul rd in camden right beside a church it’s a brick house one day me and my brother were sneaking to grab a snack I look on the couch and theres a really pale girl sitting there looking at us we go to the bedroom with me not saying anything my brother asks if I seen the little girl too..no I dont have pictures or anything I was like 8 or 9 but remember it very clearly please let me know if anyone else had the experience at that house please I need to know it’s really important
this is all lies not even close to the truth drucila was an elderly black woman will was her husband and the Burkett house was a share crop house it has and had nothing to do with Jones cemetery and the cemetery is all African Americans I’ve lived here for 40 years there isn’t one bit of truth to the story given about this or the factory by the river or the haunted track light either I’ve done the research and I’ve talked to sone of the family of drucila and to all those liers that say they used to stay in the Burkett house or any of the other stuff y’all claim I’m calling bull crap on ya cause you all are liers
