Matthew… I agree that people should have more respect, however, the times I’ve been at the cemetary, I did not see any damage to anything.. not to say that it didn’t happen. My husband was a skeptic until there were things he just couldn’t ignore.. some of which were at the Belle Plain Cemetary. I will say this… as for some big *** monster being there, I think that’s a bunch of ****… don’t know about any indian burial grounds in the back and that is something I would NOT mess with for anything… but I do believe that there is SOMETHING there.. I believe because I caught it on camera. Of course, we could go back and forth on this all day, but I don’t have that much spare time, lol. You have a good day and good luck with your historical preservation… If you ever decide to let anyone visit the town, please let me know!

Cindy….. I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade or ruin their fun, I just don’t appreciate them having their fun on MY PROPERTY. If you believe in spirits that’s fine, I just simply don’t agree with you because I have seen nothing to convince me that they do in fact exist. My sister believes in spirits and I don’t harass her about it. However these outrageous stories are what leads to vandalism of my personal property, and of the cemetary. I actually have relatives buried in that cemetary, and take it quite personally when people vandalize property and concoct stories to encourage more people to do the same. I’ve had to reset my family stone because some a-hole knocked it over, and I was quite irritated. I’ve also had to clean it off after people smeared blood or paint on it for some reason. You or anyone else would not appreciate it if I were to do the same to yours or their family cemetary plot. It would probably not be appreciated if I were to walk onto the front or backyard uninvited (while tearing down the fence that you or they worked hard to build and repair, of course) and proceed to walk up to your house and proceed to kick-in the door, tear down the mail box, pee on the front porch, and steal things for souveniers just because I thought the house looked cool. I’m not uptight, I’m just tired of cleaning up damaged property left by vandals; as anyone would be. People are going to believe what they believe, but I wish it would be done with a certain amount of respect. I am currently working to obtain a Masters degree and historic preservation, and work as a historic preservationist for the state in my spare time, so I know the proper ethics, procedures, and legal guidlines to follow when viewing a historic site; and no-one who trespasses on my property follows them. I just simply wish the overwhelming majority of people who visit Belle Plain and the cemetary would be more considerate.

Matthew… I didn’t find anything interesting about the college, mansion, etc…what’s so interesting when it’s fenced off and you can’t actually walk up to it?? So, we went to the cemetary.. which I have definate proof of what I captured on film in broad daylight. Most of these blogs are on the cemetary, so don’t call us stupid, or say we didn’t experience anything. Now granted, some of the stories are just bizarre, but mine is God’s honest truth! I know there was nothing at all standing outside the fence that I could see with the naked eye, however, my pics show something completely different. Let people have their fun, experience whatever they want… stop being so damn uptight! If there wasn’t something going on, why would soooo many people be interested in the place?

I have enjoyed reading the numerous and untrue comments that most of you are posting about Belle Plain, TX. My family has owned and leased the property on which the old mansion, the college, and the townsite are located. In other words, it is all PRIVATE PROPERTY and anyone caught (and you will be caught because there are hidden cameras everywhere now) will be PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW. I believe criminal trespass carries a 2 year sentence in a state jail as a Class B Misdemeanor. So please stay off the property. The road is public, so take all the pictures you want FROM THE ROAD, but KEEP OUT!!! We do not like uninvited guests. B the way there are no ghosts, I grew up on the property and have never seen or heard anything there or at the cemetary. The lanterns, noises, lights, etc., that most people claimed to have encountered were actually pranks set-up by my friends and I to fool stupid people. If you are actually interested in looking at the property during the daytime, please contact the Flower Shop in Baird,TX; because that is my family’s place of business.

I’ve been to Belle Plains many times. I am from a town only about 15 miles away from it. Although I’ve been there many times, there has only been one thing even fairly creepy happen out there. Me and my friends were walking back to our car on the south side of the cemetery when we heard something fall from the trees. Also there is a tombstone out there with some weird markings on it. I have also heard that there is supposed to be a witch that is buried in the cemetery. Can anyone verify this statement? There is an old college out there that is nothing but rubble now, but you have to walk through a field to get there. I have seen the Indian burial spot and it is merely nothing but another section of tombstones and there is no beast located out there.

I myself have been to belle plain cemetery on multiple occasions. The beasts that they say are there are, and will follow you until you leave the direct vicinity of the cemetary ( about three miles away from the turn to get to it) Not only do they walk with you but they are most certainly not afraid of walking within arms reach of you. Its actually kind of intregueing to look into the eyes,…. it’ll make you want to **** yourself

My husband and I drove around looking for the cemetery for about four hours last weekend and couldn’t find it.I would like to get directions,. We would like to do a paranormal investigation there. April 9t is a full moon, which would make it a very good weekend to do such investigation.. If you can give me a location please e-mail me bullard@xanadoo.com, Thank you
