Confederate Graveyard
It is said that in this lost cemetery, there is a mysterious light. Allegedly, if one travels to the cemetery after dark, he will be confronted by a floating blaze. As one tries to escape, it is said the flame will follow, screaming in a very shrill voice.

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

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.

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

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.

I live in a small town not far from lebanon. Abingdon Va has it’s share of haunted places also. The Barter Theatre and The Martha Washington Inn are a couple of places any aspiring ghost hunter should visit.

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.

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!
