I have lived in Front Royal for several years now, and as of yet I have not seen anything of this affect. In fact, I live quite close to the location. However, now that I have heard of this I will check often and see if I can locate such a thing, and then I will post back.

As A teenager I use to go to the cemetery with other friends. One time I feel asleep in a car there. I have never seen or heard of anyone seeing anything there.

i have heeard about it but i have neverseen anything

Okay, here goes, first of all, the Prospect Hill Cemetery is VERY haunted. I cut the grass there in the late evening on Monday and Thursday nights. The soldier’s circle is the area where they have buried veterans dating back to the Civil War. I have spoken with the man who often weeps at the grave. He is not a ghost, it is his grandfather who is buried there. The woman dressed in 1880’s attire, whoever, I have never spoken with, but seen her appear and disapear on many occasions. She is the weeping man’s grandmother, Joan Miller.

that sounds soooooo scary

Who cuts grass at night?

Hello, I use to work at a Hospital in Woodstock Va. I was walking threw one door and headed towards another at the end of the hall, this is a hall that is closed off to the public, The staff used this hall to take bodies down to the morgue and it is the hall that has the library in it. As I was walking a man appeared and asked where his room was. Me not thinking anything about it I told him he needed to go back threw the door behind him and take a right towards the main stay rooms on the hospital floor, as the man walked away I noticed he did not have any legs and walked straight threw the door without opening it. I hauled butt threw the door I came in and got the security guard to check the hall and camaras to see if it was my imagination. The guard told me that it was not my imagination and that im not the only person to see him. The only scary thing about this gentlemen is that he caught me off guard by walking threw the door. He was very nice and even said thank you before walking away.

I used to live in Front Royal and that isn’t the only one I have heard about. People have seen someone sitting on one of the benches and children have beem seem in the child part of it. I love to go up there and up there alot when I come to town. I haven’t seen any yet but I’m hoping too soon.

My friends and I visited the cemetary last summer. We were playing around w/ a 5 in 1 digital camera I got for my b-day. When we got home I went to load everything onto my comp. Theres a part that sounds like kids laughing. U can hear my friends and I talking, shortly after, the camera shuts off. It did that several times while we were there, eventually I figured it was the batteries dieing. After a pack of fresh batteries, it would work until I stepped foot onto the grass near the graves. They were mostly children and babies – ya know the ones w/ the little lambs on top of the headstone. It was kinda creepy, but I wouldnt mind going back there, just to check things out.

I have been going to the cemetery since I was an infant, yes there are spirits roaming about. Soldiers circle, and in the old section, I have seen them up there from time to time.

We live in Front Royal about 2/3rds of a block away from the cemetary on Lee St, our house is very haunted , we have heaps of photographs taken with diff cameras ! as for the lady not only have we seen her but a lot on the street have as well, she is a very small woman all dressed in black quite beautiful, holding a small posy of flowers in her hands, her shoes have a small heal but you cant hear her footsteps.We have also dug up the partial remains of a horse in the front yard while removing an old side walk the bones were chard and the horse shoe has the u.s stamp on it !

I have alot of family in Front Royal. My great Aunt’s house is VERY HAUNTED. I used to stay there alot as a kid. I would always feel like someone was watching me. One day my aunt and uncle went to Winchester to do some shopping while I stayed home. I was in the den area watching tv when I got this terrible feeling. I ran out the back sliding door, around the house till I got to the very end of the driveway. I didn’t even put my shoes on. I stayed there for about 2 hours until they got back. I can’t describe the feeling I had, but it wasn’t good.
One time My 2nd cousin Billy was visiting with his infant son. While he was upstairs unpacking he saw a young girl about 8 years old standing at the doorway. she had no expression, she just stared at him and his son. When he asked who she was she just turned and walked away. Another time his sister Susie was visiting, and she was taking a nap in the same room. She was lying on her side facing the wall. She felt someone lay down beside her, but no one was there. I used to stay in the same room when I was there. I had to sleep with the light and lamps on everynight. My aunts dog used to stand at the bottom of the stairs and bark as if someone was there, but no one would be upstairs. It may sound weird, but I would walk up the stairs sideways because I would always feel someone behind me. I think it was the little girl around me most of the time. I think she was attached herself to children. the house was built in the 40’s. When they dug up the foundation they found unmarked graves from the Civil war. There is a big white house up the hill in her backyard. Well it used to be a Civil war hospital.They used to bring the dead down the hill and bury them where my Aunt’s house stands now. She moved a few years ago after my Uncle died. She still lives in ront Royal though. I can’t remember what road it is on, but it was one of the major roads. It was always alot of traffic. Across the street was some type of apartments, unless they tore them down. Also across the street on the corner is like a Tavern (bar/reasturant). It’s not far from the Fanticy Land playground. I wonder who lives there now. If possible I would like to visit there once more.
Also I have alot of family members who are buried in Prospect Cemetery.

I was born in Front Royal, live here still, and I have never heard of any of this. I have heard stories about the house on Swan Dr. (whish has been torn down and made a subdivision), I have heard of the place just up Guard Hill rd., I think it’s a museum or something, but have heard nothing about Prospect Cemetary. I know where it is, used to go there alot as a kid while skipping school. The old high school is adjacent to it. I will have to check this out for myself. Will post back at a later date..

who would be dum to cut grass at dark and than get scared from seeing it at dark.

First, i have never seen or hear anything from there yet, i walked there about 6:30-8:00pm once one day.

My girl friend is from Front Royal I’m from Syracuse New York I moved here in September of 07 and we visited the site and we both seen the woman dressed in mid 1800’s attire. She was near the cannon close to the steps leading down the hill. she seemed to be crying. we both belong to M.A.P.I

I live on Lee Street net to one of the other people who has posted a comment. I have seen pictures taken and there is a gastly image in a lot of the pics. Late at night sometime I am awakened by voices going by my bedroom window, and when I look out there is no one there. I have not been up to the cemetary yet, but i might have to check it out.
