If you are inclined to believe in ghosts, any cemetery can be haunted. So what could possibly explain one cemetery being described as the most haunted place on earth? That has often been said of Greenwood Cemetery in Decatur, Illinois. The cemetery is quite old, contains a large population of the deceased, and has moonshiners, criminals, and slaughtered Native Americans in its early history. Visions of ghosts in the cemetery began even before it was named and dedicated. During the Civil War, an entire trainload of captured Confederate soldiers who died on the journey north were buried there. Rumors of demonic activities in the cemetery may have been started by criminal gangsters who wanted to keep snoopy visitors away from their meeting ground. In 1930, a tragic story of young love ended with two more burials in Greenwood cemetery and more ghosts. But there's a lot more weird things in Greenwood Cemetery's history that could result in hauntings, or at least stories of hauntings. Weird History takes us through the many reasons Greenwood Cemetery has the reputation it has. There's a 90-second ad starting at the six minute mark.
