I have been to this cemetery a few months back we ended up going there during the day because we were on a ghost hunting trip and trying to visit quite a few places in one weekend.I must say of all the places that we have been this one was even spooky during the day.I have pictures of smoke going across the graves and it was a clear sunny day.I also have a picture of my boyfriend down by the creek behind it and when we looked at the picture afterwards there was this facelike creature above his head,there was also one set of graves that were in a circle of rocks that everytime he would go by it he would get goose bumps all over but as soon as he would walk away from them he was fine and we also took pictures of them and everytime we would they would be distorted but we took several of other ones before and after and they came out fine.So you tell me is it something there or just my imagination? I believe.

Your lying this didnt happen that dog was all happy and stuff he gave me a high five and walked away grabbing his balls

I wana know where this is and how i get there. I want to investigate this story. It sounds believable.

I think it is really funny to read all these post, I have lived in Greentown my whole life and attended Eastern. My friends and I have been checkin out haunted places for a few years now. Jerome cemetetery is nothing to be scared of. My friend Ryan lives in that huge house right next to it. His dog is the dog everyone says is the ” ghost dog” yes he is a large Rotweiler but that dog is the sweetest thing ever. He has another dog but it rarely goes out there. Ryan and some other boys used to go out there with his black cape on and close the gate on people and stuff like that. One halloween we all were out there and were runnin around messin with people. The only thing I can say that REALLY has happened that was scary, my friends Matt and Austin were towards the back and walking up and something grabbed Matt’s keys from his pocket and pulled on his shirt, and both of the guys heard a lil girl laugh.. But that was it…

Annaleesha is full of ****. I don’t know if I believe all this, but I read every single comment and it’s funny how she took what she read and tried to lie to make people believe this ****. If a her “friend’s” rotweiler was really chasing people, #1-no one would get away, rotweilers are way too fast and #2-it would look way too realistic to confuse it with a ghost and #3- someone would have done something about the dog by this point, police, animal control, etc., it would not be allowed to just chase people. Annalesha is just trying to get everyone who reads this to belive that she is right and that ghosts don’t exist.I’m not saying anyone on here is right or wrong about the ghost dog, I kinda believe it, I’d go myself to check it out if I wasn’t too scared, but I am, but Analesha is lying. Plain and Simple.

Levi,

You’ve confused Jerome Arizona with Jerome Indiana. As far as I can remember, Jerome’s graveyard dog isn’t demonic, he’s the ghost of a miner’s pet who pined himself to death when his owner died in a bar fight. He’s not vicious, just lonely. Poor dog doesn’t seem to understand what happened. He will approach people, and whine and paw at them, like a stressed or confused dog will. I just tell him what a good dog he is and pray that St. Francis will come collect him soon.

why would somebody even think about going to a cemetery at night anyway you deserved to be chased by something!!!!!!!!

Have you never heard of a Black Dog? A Church Grim is one type of a Black Dog. They protect the spirits of the graveyard. People used to believe that the first person buried in a cemetary would have this job, so they buried an animal first to relieve a person from this duty. They only go after those who they think are a threat to the graveyard.

Well everyone else tells stories and such… I dont really know how many of these I believe…. I Live in Kokomo. and I honestly LOVE gravyards and cemetaries! They are peacful places. I use to think they were bad when i was little and watching silly movies like Pet Cemetary. But after the death of my dad i find it almost comforting to be in a cemetary sometimes.

Anyway I dont have some really scary story or anything to tell but I have been to Jerome. Its a very little town! I think I basically know the whole lay out because we drove everywhere trying to find the graveyard. It was last fall I went before it was very cold or anything. My friend olivia and I thought it would be fun to visit! We rode on that swirly road and really its a beautiful scene! but I wouldn’t drive it on a winter day thats for sure. Anyway back to my story! We FINALLY arrived at the cemetary and drove in. Olivia is a this amazing like hardcore christian lol So she wasnt even about to believe or even listen to any rumors I was wanting to tell her. But there is this house almost like right in front of the graveyard. We thought for a minute that it was the persons driveway lol. Then we entered and there was a dog, but it belonged to the person that owned the house. I dont think the one I saw was a rot. it looked more like a great big black lab maybe it was a pure black rot. I wouldnt know. It did go to the enterence of the graveyard and stare at us. I tried to call it over cuz I love animals but it just turned away and troted off… thats the most we experienced with a dog involved. We both walked to the back and entered the forest and to me it was an odd feeling like theres this barbed wire you have to step over (which I almost tripped over everytime haha) but then if u go further there is like a little trail so we went back there and it was like this feeling of happyness and freedom and we took pictures of the trees blocking the sun and both of us in the forest. and then as we were walking back to the cemetary once we got back we started to look at the old stones and look at the years the pepole lived but there was these 2 stones in the back corner that just really drew us in we both just stared at them I dont remember what was written on the stones but it was like this sad feeling overwhelmed me. So I took a picture and yea we basiaclly took a bunch of digital pics and I looked at them and there was nothing that we cought like orbs or spirits. Then as u come in the cemetary there are these two headstones side by side and they looked newer then any others but the dates are old on them but when we read them and took pictures its like we had the urge to put roses on that grave lol it was odd we didnt though cuz well we didnt randomly have roses but we both thought it. We didnt have anymore time cuz we had a local show to get ready for. But i wouldnt mind going back again! It was a wierd experience but fun none the less!!

Honestly here is how I look at huantings like this one…. Its a rumor. Like thats all it has to start as. Then negative energy will feed off the rumor cuz people always say places like these are haunted and have some sad story to go with it. But the mind is a powerful thing and when so much sad or any negative energy is focussed on a single place its like it comes into play. So Im not saying that its not haunted cuz it very well could be! But I just think people should listen to the rumors and take them as simple stories until they have their own story from a place cuz if you enter a place like this with a negative mind then its like it becomes a reality and you then have a negative experience. Thats just my opinion though. ttfn!

I have heard a lot of stories and i dont know which one to believe……. I am going to check it out on my own. personally i believe it….. i dont know why some one would make it up………amd a story i heard is that a little boy killed his parents amd every body elsse in Jerome….. they are all buried in the cemetery….. they are buried in the shape of pentagram “devils shape” in the middle of the place………… now you are suppose to drive in, circle the middle three times so it makes 66 and another six and then you stop the car….. then it is down hill from here…………. that is my comment…

Me and a few friends went to the Jerome Cemetry as we called it the “666″ Cemetry, because the drive way is in the shape of “6″ so we drove around the circle three time to make “666″. We stop the car and got out. We heard a dog start barking from a distance in the direction of the creek. The barking starting getting louder as if it was getting closer. Then the barking got to a point that it sounded like it was right in front of us. Then the barking moved from us to the direction of the road. Then stopped there and the dog would not stop barking until we got back in the car. This happened during the day at 2:30 in the afternoon on a quiet sunny day. I explained it as a neighborhood dog. I found out later of the dog that haunts that graveyard. The story was told to me that a man that lived in the town years and years ago went crazy one Sunday morning and borded up the church. Then burned the towns people alive inside. When he was caught him and his faithful dog had been killed and buried together in that cemetry. I did not know if they are buried under a grave stone or even which one to could be. The dog barks to let his master know if someone is there.

I just went there tonight. I heard something that sounding like tree branches being snapped. I couldn’t get out of my car though, as the caretaker let his dogs out.
If you go at night, douse your headlights and drive very slowly as you do have to drive right by the caretakers house. If you hear dogs, DO NOT assume it is a ghost, as it might be a real dog. We went at 1 AM and the caretaker was still awake.

I have heard it is a Satanic graveyard though.

Iam from the area grew up there, my grandmother had a house in Jermoe many yrs.Ive heard so many stories its hard to believe. There was supposed to have been some kids go to the grave yard and a sprit took over one of the young men.And he had to be put in a ward.Its a very pretty little town.Myself I neaver had anything happen out there. But u do get a wierd feeling.I will call some family members and do some more research on this subject. I live down south right now.

my friends and i are goin to the cemetary tonight and are really excited to see if there is anything really there…we’re skeptical but not doubtful

Everyone I know for a fact that this place is fake! When I was about 17 some friends and I would go there and were fooled, probably like many others, by the group of teenagers that lives to the North of the cemetery. They have two very large dogs and sometime they will camp in the woods just outside the back part of Jerome. We met them there one night when they were trying to scare us. They also told us that their fathers before them had been doing the same thing. The place isn’t really haunted and the only reason it has a legend to it is because of this family that has been scaring people for the fun of it for the past 30 years.

Ok, This is infact very fake. I grew up with the family that lives to the north. I camped in the woods and I helped scare people. We did it all the time. They do have 2 enormous black labs and a large rotweiler. The dogs have free run of the woods and property. They more than likely would chase because they are friendly. It is a cool cemetary, but dont waste you time if you are hoping for a true haunting. Sorry to disapoint.

I am from Jerome. In fact, I live less than a quarter mile from the bridge as well as a quarter mile from the graveyard. If anyone knows the lay out of Jerome you will know what house is mine. I have heard an unbelievable amount of stories associated with both. I will be the first to tell you that I grew up with the so called “care taker” of the cemetery. I have been to the cemetery an uncountable number of times, you can see it from my kitchen window. I will also tell you that I have been on many trips with him to scare people looking for a good time. I myself have never seen or heard anything unusual at the cemetery. The bridge on the other hand is another story.

I noticed in a post above someone said that the bridge was haunted because of Christians making human sacrifices under the bridge. This is not true. The story behind the bridge is that a girl was once raped and killed under the bridge. If you go down there you are suppose to hear the girl scream. I have been down there many times and heard nothing. But the last time I went was different. I went with a few friends who did not believe in ghosts or spirits. We got to the bridge and nothing happened. Then, a drunk friend of mine decided to walk to the edge of the bridge and yell, “you better scream you ***** or ill come rape you myself”. No sooner than he got the words out of his mouth did we hear a horrible scream. One friend is 6′7 another a boxer and I was a wrestler for many years. When we heard this we ran like a bunch of girls the entire way back to my house. The friend who yelled was so scared he puked in my driveway. I have not been back to the bridge since.

As for the church that use to be there, the were no sacrifices done there. My uncle now owns the property that the church use to sit on. The story behind the church is a bit freaky though. When Jerome Christian church moved to another building, the building that was in Jerome sat empty. There are stories of neighbors seeing lights coming from the basement windows late at night. Apparently, people we breaking into the church and performing witch craft in the basement. The church was then torn down and the basement covered with dirt. That is how it stands today. My dad mows it all summer.

I hope this puts some of the bullshit stories to rest about Jerome in general. All I can say is that I believe with everything i have that both places have some weird stuff going on. You just have to be there on the right night. Im sure there will be people who think this is bulshit, but its 100% fact.

hey i got that the dog chases people but its still a ghost. has anyone ever been bitten or injured by the mutt(either way i’d like to see and maybe even tease the little demonic freak-if its real that is)?

this is all bull i have tested every little stupid theory at all hours day and night. you can only see what you believe. if you believe you will see nothing……..then nothing is exactly what you’ll see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
