Real Haunted House

Belle Plains Cemetery

Belle Plains, Texas

This cemetery seems to be shrouded in mystery. One legend says that young man and woman were madly in love. The girl’s father, however, did not wish for the two to be together and swore that he would kill the boy if he ever saw the couple together again. Needless to say, the boy was killed. So bereaved was the girl that she went to her lover’s grave and hanged herself. It is said that if one happens to go to the cemetery during the late night, a young boy who vanishes within himself may be seen. The loud shrill cry of a girl is also allegedly heard. There have also been reports of creatures comparable to Bigfoot in this cemetery. It is said that in the rear portion of the cemetery is an Indian burial ground and these beasts are its guardians. They are reported to be around eight feet tall, and the size of two athletically built men. It is also rumored that they are white with green glowing eyes. Like coyotes, but many octaves deeper, the beasts are said to be heard howling at the moon during the hours of the early morning.

I live near this place, about 20 minutes away. I’ve never heard of the beast legend, but the shrill screams and weird lights I have seen on some occasions.

3 of my friends and have had a personal encounter of the graveyard. The strange lights and the creatures and everything. Plus ontop of that, sometimes when your walking around the road you can hear the footsteps of something walking beside you int he leaves even though you cannot visually see it.

A couple of friends and myself were out there one night. We got out of the truck to walk around and had left a door open we gat about 2 feet from the truck when we heard something sliding across the leather seats. Another night I had my eyes closed and when i opened them a bright light was flying towards my head, then there was a horrible scream from behind me.

I went to the cemetery when I was 16. Me and my girlfriend enjoy getting spooked, so I drove to the cemetery. I knew the location, because my parents ued to go to the cemetery as kids. They took pictures of, “The Creatures”, and every headstone in the cemetery. So we are at the cemetery, and like Sandy Davis, an officer pulled us over and said, “Look, if you’re gonna go to the cemetery, be careful, we just had an ambulance out here.”, so he drove away. Being the smart person that I am, I brought my Dad’s handgun just in case of any contact with, “The Creatures”. We got into the cemetery, walked around for about an hour, and then we saw three things: 1.) A girl hanging from a rope. 2.) A boy staring at us and vanishing into thin air. 3.) The most scariest thing, two green eyes were staring at us in the dark. We heard a growl, and some earth shaking footsteps coming towards us. I fired two shots in the direction of the eyes, and they stopped glowing. We ran to our car and drove as fast as we could. As we got to a safe distance, we noticed it was a full moon. The last thing: there was a bloody rope on my muffler.

This is a very accurate statement on this cemetery. I’m a lead researcher for PAR TX (Paranormal Activity Researchers of Texas). There are several of us that have been to the cemetery and vouch for the existance of the activity, we are actually hoping to make a full blown research trip out to the cemetery and beyond to pull documentation of the activities which take place at this cemetery.

to Sandy Davis: its been just about 8 months since u posted was wondering what came of your trip to the graveyard. I’d be interested to know what you experiences

I lived in the Belle Plain area for several years. Your story may be true. I heard a similar story that a rancher built a mansion that had a secret bedroom with a hidden staircase to keep cowboys from his daughter. You may not believe the rest of this story but its true. I found the town, not the old college, but the town itself which is north of the old college and the mansion which was all boarded up. My brother and I took the sheet metal off of one of the windows and went inside the houseto have a look. Sure enough, after several hours of seaching, we found a hidden staircase in the back of a closet, and a hidden bedroom upstairs. This I know to be true.

I think me and a couple buddies are planning a trip out to Belle Plains this weekend sometime. Hopefully if we don’t wimp out I’ll share my experience, good or bad. If you don’t hear from me I either didn’t go, or didn’t come back! Haha.

James says:

Well, we went to Belle Plains two weekends ago. It was a thrill, and we didnt think to take flashlights which definitely added to the suspense. We didn’t really have any encounters with anything. Saw a pair of eyes off in the graveyard. Probably a cat. The only really noticeable thing is that it definitely got a lot colder the farther towards the back of the cemetery you go. Pretty creepy though. Oh and there was a story not too long ago about an “unidentified white creature” that was found out near that area. But it was no bigfoot, more like a chupacabra. Neat huh?

I live in cottonwood about 25 minutes away from there. And i agree. The place is very creepy. But i have never seen the old mansion and was wondering where it was if you could teel me. But i have been to the old college. And that place is definitely worth checking out.

Hi, I live near the Belle Plains area..if you are interested in going out its a pretty long ways and a little hard to find the school. I haven’t found the Mansion but the school and mansion are all on private property so be careful when trespassing. I personally haven’t had any encounters but some of my friends say that they have? Mostly Belle plains is just a place to go take freshamn for freshman orientation, or for when you get drunk? Oh well, have fun!

I live in Sweetwater and my husband and I went out there a couple of times along with my cousin and her husband. Not too many experiences, but did have a couple. Both of which took place just outside the cemetary gate. We heard footsteps beside us and could actually feel the ground move..I know sounds ridiculous but it happened. We also took ALOT of pictures during the day and at night. One of the pictures that was taken during the day revealed 5 or 6 men (in different colored robes) standing outside the gate looking in on us and there was absolutely nobody there when the picture was taken but us! We’ll go back again..soon..before the weather turns cold.

i was in my 20’s during the times my twin brother and our friends would go out to the cemetary(iam 36 now), and i just want to say i have to actually see something to believe in it, except god, but if you ever want a good scare go out in the cemetary at night-maybe around 3 a.m. this place puts chills all over me and as i am telling this to you i am shaky! a couple of friends and i, arm & arm, did hear leaves crackling like something walking to the side of us on the south side of the cemetary by the fence but we could not see anything and we did hear something growling, like a deep growling. i thought it might be a bull, but i REALLY do not think so!i did see a strong light along w/ the crowd i was out there with, on the north side of the cemetary. it looked like a huge lantern in a distance. the guys went out a ways to see if they could walk up on this light but they never saw it again! nor did i. belle plain has old history and alot of very old graves that are even creepy to stand over them even in daylight. i get a really uneasy feeling. i recommend if you are able to stop in check it out it would be worth it if you get in to this stuff! just hope no one will ever vandalize the sacred cemetary-and remember there are souls out there sleeping…or at least we THINK they are!!(by the way, iv’e been with people and john baidas was there,too)…
