I haven’t been to the Hart Cemetery, but I’ve been to the Violet Springs Cemetery and Sacred Heart. Violet Springs is the one that has the “murdered by human wolves” headstone. There are two parts to it — one is smaller and most of the graves there are for children, it seems. My friends and I went looking for the headstone there and couldn’t find it, so we think it must be in the bigger part across the street (it was too cold to continue searching). I’ve been out there at night and I did see a weird flash of red in front of us. There was no way a red light from our car could have caused it because, of course, the brake light is in the back of the car. That was weird.

Sacred Heart is really beautiful. I don’t know about haunted, but it’s really neat and has kind of a peaceful feeling to it. The first time we went out there we did get stuck in a huge ditch right outside the gates of the mission — look to the left of the gate when you’re facing the trail in and you’ll see the ditch our car fell into. I don’t think it was ghosts; I think it was just bad luck.

I believe this is the real story:

Sacred Heart Cemetery is located east of Asher and west of Konawa. From the intersection of Hwy. 177 and Hwy. 39, go east on Hwy. 39 for seven miles. At NS-348, turn left and go north almost one mile. Turn left (west) and the cemetery is on the south side of the road.

The Cherokee Indians provided the land and work on the construction of the Sacred Heart Monastery, next to the cemetery, was finished in 1877, which included a bakery, a two-story housing building and novitiate as well as a school for Indian boys and a farm. Sacred Heart Monastery for many years was the center of Catholicism in the state. Through out the years the Monastery housed civil war soldiers, the homeless, and many Indian children. On the night of January 15, 1901, came the disaster from which Sacred Heart never recovered. On that cold stormy night a fire broke out in the dining room of the Indian Boys School and swept out of control. Before it was over the blaze had taken the monastery, boys’ school, college, girls’ school, convent, and the church along with many priests, nuns, and children. They were all gone within a few hours, the light from the fire could be seen from over 50 miles away. The entire mission was destroyed with the exception of a few small buildings. The bakery and the two-story log cabin are the only buildings that remain today.

There are many legends in the area, stemming from this horrible accident. One involves several flashing blue lights that circle the cemetary at night. These lights are thought to be the souls of the priests searching for any remaining children to insure that their souls go to heaven. There is a mist that regulary travels across the old school grounds. Some say that the mist is death, returning again and again to capture more souls. Several people have seen an image of an old lady who walks the night. She is not dressed in a nun’s habit, but many believe that she is Sister Agnes who died in the fire and who protects the grounds from the evil mist. Whispers can be heard in a woman’s voice saying “Get out of here!” which may be Agnes warning people of the dangers of the area.

Human forms are not the only entities that roam the cemetary. There is a pair of demon horses that can be heard galloping across the night, whinning in pain. Several animals, including horses died in the terrible fire. Blurs of white can be seen from the corner of the eye, folks say, that could be the farm’s hundred white rabbits that were englufed in the flames. All of these things have only been witnessed at night. However, there is one thing that can be seen during the day, and is very real.

There is a very unusual tombstone for Katherine Cross who was born March 13, 1899 and murdered on October 10, 1917.

If you look at the inscription, you would assume that she was attacked and killed by werewolves, for its says “murdered by human wolves”. However, it wasn’t something mystical and other-worldly that murdered her it was a “criminal operation” performed by Dr. A H Yates. Dr Yates didn’t work alone for a local schoolteacher, Fredrick O’Neal was charged alongside him for the murder of another young girl, Elise Stone.

Little is known about the “criminal operation” and some assume that it was an abortion gone wrong. Others speculate that, as a school teacher who had the trust of his students. Frederick ONeal lured these young women into unsavory activities with other members of a secret club and that the only outcome for Katherine and Elise would be death.

Whether you believe in any of this story is up to you. But, you have directions to the cemetery. Take a look for yourself.

The story that I heard was as follows: This cemetery is in the heart of a mission. That later became Sacred Hearts and then St. Gregory’s in Shawnee. I have been there and seen the cross. It is said that this cemetery is haunted by a werewolf or some other animal. And, that if you stay in the cemetery overnight, at the cross, you will not make it out alive. I was there as a kid. The creepiest thing is the walk in. You have to travel in through a grove of interlocking trees. It is a tunnel of foliage over the path. Check out John Morris’ Ghost Towns of Oklahoma for some good pics.

I went to this area yesterday! It is Beautiful there. Behind the church, off in the woods, there are 2 cemeteries, a bakery and a cabin. Almost everything burned to the ground around 1901. Many children were killed in the fire. The cemeteries that are behind the church belong to the Priests and nuns of the mission. I took several photos while I was there yesterday. I have one that has an unexplainable blue mist. But the cemetery was peaceful and calming. I didn’t see any wild animals there. Just some dragonflies from the spring just past the cabin.

I have been to Hart cemetery at night and in the day. Trust me guys there are no demon horses, I didn’t even see any thing weird. We searched all over in the woods an never found the school. I took several pictures, an no ghosts. I have also been to sacred heart, an although it was very pretty, still no ghosts. Just a bunch of stories to scare high school kids.if anyone knows if the school is still around Hart cemetery, please post a comment.

I’ve been there. I’ll never to Back. There aren’t horses. But there are ghosts. By far the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. One of my buddies thought he’d be tough and spend the night there. The next morning he was staring at the tree and pale. He was talking in some weird language I couldn’t understand. And acted like I wasn’t even there. It was weird. So. If I were you guys, go there, but don’t spend the night

We used to go out to that place all the time. almost impossible now due to the patrol that sets at the church. the things i have seen in this place i am too embarrassed to mention but it was not of a natural nature. the headstone that reads killed by human wolves has to do with a doctor that practiced abortions and he mutilated that girl all to hell. The original residence of sacred hart are the people who founded shawnee and st. gregs university. scary scary place that i always awful stories about.

My home away from home was less than a quarter of a mile from sacred hart, I have spent many late evenings, and even a couple of nights in the old bell tower. There are definitely ghosts, but nothing as urban as “demon horses”, that is quite simply bull****. I have seen a young nun carrying a child from the woods behind the orphanage, if it wasn’t for the feeling of ice dripping down my spine, and my hair crawling off of my head i probably would have rationalized it . I have heard what seems to be the cries of young kids, and walked through very frigid and unsettling spots near the old cemetery , and especially the one for children. I would be more correct to say that you can defiantly FEEL the history of the place, when you start feeling emotions that you know dont belong to you , you are probably close to an area where something tragic took place.
