OK, to start off with, I not only visit the cemetery very often but WORK their often. NO ONE MOWS THE GRASS THERE EXCEPT THE CEMETERY WORKERS! Furthermore, the gates, FRONT and BACK are LOCKED at or around dawn!! I have NAPPED here often, INTERRED MANY BODIES HERE and NEVER EVEN ONCE have seen or heard ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY! YEP, over 20 years workin here and NEVER BEEN SPOOKED! NOT EVEN BY THE MANY MANY SQUIRRELS that live there!

I have lived in Front Royal for 21 years and I have never heard any stories about any paranormal activity in Prospect Hill Cemetary. As small as the town is, if anything of that nature has been seen, I’m sure the story would have gotten around town like wildfire.

Look, I was born there, my family is buried there, since about 1974, I have seen the kneeling man in the circle, the widow, and numerous others. You have to remember, you only see what you are allowed to see. Prospect is very historic, and witness to mass tragedy from civil war battle. If you go there looking for them, be respectful of those buried there.

I have family buried there as well. Are you saying that you see these “ghosts” during the day? The cemetary closes it’s gates at dusk.

How did you get in when the gates are locked?

Robert says:

Torwards the back of the cemetery, near the student parking lot of the school, there is a gate that can be crawled under, i know what we did was not legal, but ive been reading about this cemetery for a while, and it intrigued me to take a look.

I looked at the video. I couldn’t see anything. You didn’t leave the camera in that location long enough and/or zoom in to make sure that it wasn’t another tombstone. There are alot of tombstones that are tall and long and also have figures and shapes to them. Thanks for trying anyway. I was intrigued for a moment.

Robert says:

Renae, i too was skeptical in the fact that it could be a statue of another tonbstone…what got me was that when it appeared the second time it was on the other side of the tall tomb/monument. I will be returning to the cemetery this weekend during the day to see if there is anything in the distance that may have showed up on my camcorder. i will take more video footage during the night and this time i will be more steady and focused on anything i see. I have still images that i would like you to look at. my email address is mudmann1012@gmail.com if you email me, i can send them to you. thanks.

We would really love to get some footage on this site (Prospect Cemetery) if you know of anyone who is having problems with paranormal activity in their home or surrounding areas we are right here in Luray. Please feel free to contact us. We have been doing investigations for four years now and have found alot of paranormal activity as well as pictures and video recordings of areas here in Luray and other areas. A suggestion for Robert, with your video recorder if you use a red lighted flash light it helps to illuminate the entity as well as a full spectrum flashlight. Would love to see more of your footage.

I have lived in Front Royal more then half my life. I have NEVER heard of any ghost stories in Front Royal other then ones I have experienced myself.I’m not saying I don’t believe but those who say they have proof, I would like to see it. It interests me! It would be kinda cool to see considering the fact this is practically a dead town compared to what it use to be. Might as well have good ghosts stories!

Robert says:

I am living in Kentucky and have never visited Prospect Hill but I have several civil war era relatives buried there. Does anyone have any stories about the Timberlake’s that are resting there?
