    A collegue and I went to visit it one time and not only did we have the smell of mens' calogne, but we had also witnessed a white dog run all over the cemetery stemming from a dogs tombstone. When we went towards the back something ominous held us back. My friend who was with me is heavy set so she aint runnin'. When i heard demonic like whispers i see her running towards me yelling" WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW! F*CK THIS PLACE WE GOTTA GO" and not long after did we see a tall shadow slowly coming towards us. We did NOT hesitate flooring out of there!

    My friend and I were walking by the mausoleums and I heard singing. I asked my friend what she was singing, it was beautiful but I had never heard it before and she swears it was not her.
