This is a confederate soldier cemetary and it is located on North Church Street in Lebanon, Virginia. You travel 1/2 mile until you reach a trailer park and you go through the trailer park until you reach the end at the top of the hill.Here you reach a gate that is not locked. There you have to continue on foot unil you reach the cemetary. (Not sure of the actual distance but not far)

Some have said the floating blaze could possibly be a soldier carrying a lantern. The man to talk to about this would be Richard Fulgam (former senior editor of The Lebanon News). He has visited this cemetary.
He left this review mentioning the graveyard incident on Amazon.com referring to a book entitled Civil War “Ghosts of Virginia”
by L. B., Jr. Taylor, Brenda Goens (Illustrator):

Ghosts in lost Graveyard of Lebanon, VA, April 20, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
My name is Richard Fulgham, author of “The Hogs of Cold Harbor”, “The Embracing Woods”, “The Lion of Saint Catharine”, “Appalachian Genesis” and “Man’s Laughter: Anatomy of a Manhunt”. What I say here is true. I met Mr. Taylor in the late ’90’s when I was a reporter for the Lebanon Newspaper in Russell County, VA. I’d discovered a 200+ yr old graveyard near North Street, all grown over with trees and undergrowth. Some of the trees were three feet thick. Amongst the tombstones, I found about a dozen graves of Confederate soldiers. Mr. Taylor visited and I took him to the site. I don’t know what’s in the book, but we saw nothing spooky. But when I went back myself that night, I saw reddish “lamps” moving around, emanating from quivering fog-like forms — which were translucent and seemed to glow in the moonlight. This accouht may be in another one of Mr. Taylor’s excellent studies, but it happened. I was the man. I was there. I saw them.

I’m interested in this story, because Lebanon isn’t very far from where I grew up in Virginia. I can’t say that I have ever heard about this place. My question is do you ever list places that are gave to you as haunted. I know a few places for the states of Virginia and Kentucky.

Ahhh, I thought that this would be here. I’m the caretaker to that Graveyard. It’s true it’s got Confederate soldiers buried there. There are, on some nights, floating lanterns and what not. The shrill voices that you may here are “Rebel Yells”, which have been known to be blood-curdling.

This comment is for the caretaker; My name is Allen Gross, I’m a confederate ghost hunter Please Contact me.

is the lebanon you speak of in russell co. or another place

Hey. I love virginia. i think this website sucks becuase none of it is true. alothough i wanna go see something you guys mentioned. i cant wait!

My ancestors lived/live up in Lebenon. We try to go up there every August for our reunion. I haven’t made it in several years. I have always been fasinated with cemetaries and would love to visit this one. Anyone here a Combs or Skeen? Or related in anyway?

I live a short distance away from Lebanon, VA and would like to go and see this!! If you could get back to me and let me know exactly where this I would really appreciate it!!

That really is creepy, and especially when my cousins live in Virginia. Is the cemetary close to Fairfax?

reply to missychristy14 –

Lebanon is in southwest VA, probably 5.5-6 hours from Fairfax.

I live in Southwest, VA.. not far from Lebanon. I’ve been to that Graveyard before, at night… and I did see a light but I couldn’t hear anything. My dad saw it too.. but we didn’t really pay much attention to it… but it was out of nowhere… so yeah…

Yes this place is real. I lived on church street for 5 years. From 1991 to 1996. My old house is till there. This graveyard is kinda creepy but I never went at night. Most of the markers are long unreadable but I was always told it was a cival war graveyard. It is not hard to find at all.

I heard this same story about a graveyard near Lynnwood virginia. I visted this place several times as a teenager, a few times late at night. Lot of imagination but not much else. The grave yard very interesting as some of it was fenced in and the rest was some what overgrown, but still disernable were the sunked in spots where the graves were and plain rocks for headstones. I was very surprised to such a similar story about another place so close. I also heard that lights were supposed to be civil war solders lanterns.

I am from VA myself and I am also obsessed with my sates wonderful history especially the Civil War. I am definetly like ghost hunting and this will definetly be on my list to visit. How cool is this!!! Thanks for the info!

I am from Virginia. I am obsessed with history especially from my home state of VA and definetly Civil War History. I am also definetly loving ghost hunting it is a hobby. Thank you so much for the info and it will be high on my list of places to visit for the ghosts and most importantly for the civil war history!!!!! How cool is this???!!!

Sounds like maybe there’s a Banshee or two in this place as well!

hey by chance does anyone l know of the exact location of this place?

I live in Lebanon and if anyone wants to email me I can give you directions to the graveyard. I’ve been up there but not at night. It’s even scary in daylight. The earth has fallen away from the concrete slabs that cover some graves and you can see down inside them. Not only are confederate soldiers buried there but many slaves are buried all around that area with only a rock marking the spot. My email is debbiemcreynolds@bvunet.net.

I live in Grundy, Va and I went to this cemetary with my wife and we went looking and became to be lost from each other. i lookeed ofr her, but i couldnt find her. this was in 1997. if anybody sees her can you tell her to call me. i need her to pick me up a pack of cigerettes, i have been waiting for one 10 years and i cant get any money because all teh welfare checks have her name on it.

thank you for letting me know that i’m not alone….i discovered this grave yard when i was about 14 and i’m 25 now…everything u described with the orange light to the scream is absolutely true…me and a couple of my friends was walking through those woods because one of my friends lives right below that old cemetary in Deer Spring’s Trailor Court and i triped on one of those tomb stones and when i shined a light on it i noticed what it was and when i looked back, i seen an ornage light swaying back and forth and twords us while we all heard a loud shreck…it scared the hell out of me but i have been there many times after and never saw anything but not after dark… if anyone is intrested in going up there after dark to check it out and see what happens just holler back at me on this site

Hey, I was up there the other day Jimbo, and I saw your wife. She gave me yur smokes. Sorry, but I smoked em all. She said she’d call ya when she got to the Save-A-Lot.

Hi friends. This is Richard Fulgham, the guy that saw the light in both the literal and the metaphorical sense — deep in the woodsy Confederate graveyard at night. I believe now that there is something supernatural, even divine if I may say so, about the unrest of the rebel soldiers. My great grandfather fought, along with about seven or eight great uncles. They come to me whenever I vist the ground in which their bones are interred. Obviously their spirits are restless and roam about at night searching for someone to help them find spiritual inner peace. Do you guys think we could write a book and maybe photography with infrared the misty lights and shapes of “shapeless” soldiers? If interested, contact me at rlfulgham@hotmail.com . Look, I’m a sixty year old gray bearded **** because the Yanks destroyed my cultured world. Like the ghostly soldiers — connect to me by blood — I seek inner peace, even grace. Who is interested in contacting the ghost rebels? I am crazy but I’ve published a real commercial history book, plus four others (POD) on Amazon.

me too. but if u r reading this i’m already home! i have heard this story so many times but in different ways.

Keris.

My husband and I have a paranormal investigation team and we would be very interested in checking out this cemetery. I would appreciate it if anybody knows who to contact for permission to do an investigation, please email me at brrps@bvunet.net. We are located in Bristol, VA and will definately need clear directions. Thanks to anyone with info for us.

Are the haunted tunnels in honaker, or different one? I live in Lebanon, and where exactly is there a haunted govenor’s mansion?

I am going to be vacationing in the area this fall. I would love to go to the cemetary. However, there seems to be two conflicting sets of directions posted here. Richard Fulgham gives directions & Willie gives directions. Which one of these are correct? And, Willie says the only thing he has seen there are the police. Why would the police be out in such of an out of way place? Is the cemetary located on private property that has been posted? I thought all cemetaries in the state of Virginia had right of ways to access them unless they were located on private family property. Could someone shed some light on this for me & give me a good set of directions to the cemetary. Thanks!

the governors mansion is in elk garden and ive been in the house beside it and its haunted . but i dont know about the mansion but i used to live in a house in hansonville and used to see a light go thru the wall .

I have lived in Lebanon VA.. for 9yrs and I have never heard of this graveyard but I am going to go and hopefully witness this screaming light

I have been there many times and i can take you there. contact me at richie_dye@yahoo.com and put ghost in the subject happy hunting

“the story is not true sorry guys….” Sorry to burst your bubble Jessica but the story IS true. I’ve lived in Lebanon for around 10 years and I’ve heard of the graveyard. I’ve never been up there myself but my brother has. He said he heard voices all around him and felt the presence of something. He became frightened so he ran away. He jumped the wire fence ripping a hole in his pants. On the other side of the fence he hunkered down as something mazzive rushed past him and his flashlight went out. He uncurled, checked to see if the coast was clear he ran all the way back to Main Street. He’s not been back up there since. I don’t know the full details but I believe him when he told me that. There are things in this world that can not be easily explained. The paranormal is NO laughing matter.

I’ve been to the cemetary. I think it is huanted becaues i have had experiences with friends one night in july. there was a man in 1800’s cloths. it scared me so bad that i kicked my friend in the nuts while yelling what the ****, took off running and **** my my pants three time in a row.

I live very close to Lebanon and i would really like to visit this cemetary one night. I am freakishly obsessed with immortality.

I’ve never explored any cemetaries in Lebanon, but there’s one near Tumbling Creek, not far from Saltville that has pretty much the same thing. There’ll be a huge white flame that wiggles and floats about, or sometimes two that seem to dance. I’ve never gotten close enough to find out whether they scream or not. I don’t hunt anything that’s willing to let me alone.
I did go onto the hill the day after I saw them to look around. All I found was a little depression there in the slate where I thought one of them had been.

anyone with any info on any hauntings in the sw virginia area please email me at vhush30@gmail.com And willis you might be hearing from me soon to ask you about the grave yard and tunnels.
