I remember years ago(about 40 yrs ago) when I was a teen,there was a house in
ashland with a mailbox written in red “blood” well the poor mans last name was Blood . Everyone called him Captain Blood and parked in front of his house and generally harrased the poor man. I guess he finally got sick of it and came running out saying “if you don’t get out of here the blood on the mailbox will be yours!” needless to say we left him alone. When we are young we love to be scared ,but let the dead rest in peace they cannot harm you.

Quaker Cemetery (SpiderGate)is a beautiful old cemetery with many very old grave sites dating back into the 1700′s. Many of the plots are inhabited by entire families, with several generations laid to rest side by side. As with any cemetery, it is to be respected when visited. I dont know about it being haunted, but we went here during a blue moon in the mid 90′s and it was absolutely amazing.

This is serious stuff.

Some really frightening things have happened in this place to a lot of people. Really bad things. Authorities and people associated with the burial ground are petrified of the liability, so they post stuff where this place is mentioned denying that anything unusual has ever happened. Those of us who live in the area know better. Many of us have seen the elderly couple who dematerializes into thin air on the far side of the cemetery opposite the gates.

It’s OK to visit in the daytime, as long as you’re quiet, respectful, and don’t do any damage. Skip the cars, and take bikes there. Any cars seen parked on the street will attract cops. Halloween Day is not a good idea since the place is heavily patrolled to prevent problems. Going there at night on any day is taking serious risk of something bad happening. I’m not afraid of haunted houses, ghosts or other happenings, but this place gives me serious creeps. I will not go there after dusk. Ever.

The eight gates are not physical ones. They’re areas along the wall where there is a feeling that you can pass through the granite. It’s hard to describe, but once someone points them out, you’ll understand.

Doing anything to vandalize, desecrate, or damage ANYTHING in that place will not only open you to charges, arrest and prosecution, but it will very possibly earn a curse by the spirits who guard the place. All of the people in my high school class who passed before their time all partied there or did some damage. Although it makes sense to show respect to the families who have relatives buried there, there are more serious reasons to behave yourself. Doing damage is so very uncool, and very stupid.

I went there at 3 AM, there is NOT 8 gates, it is one very small burial ground and it’s not scary at all. I’ve known about this place for 3 years and I drove 75 miles to get there and was very disappointed in what I found. However, I did climb the huge tower up the path past the gates. I figured oging very late would make it a little scarier, I heard nothing, I saw nothing, it kinda sucked. But I am glad I went.

Some of the things in this write-up is true. But the part about the 8 gates is just a rumor. I have been a resident of Worcester, MA my whole life. And have been coming to Spider Gates since I was 6. I believe this place could possibly be haunted due to past paranormal expiriences in the place. In conclusion there is only 1 gate in the entire place. But inside this one gate spooky things have been known to happen. Trust me.

i live on the coast so leicter is not exactly close to me, though i did hear many stories about spider gates. when i finally got there i was underwhelmed to say the least. it is nothing more than an old cemetery. i am sure there are paranormal things that occur there but nothing that i personally experienced. i am glad that i went but when it comes to something like this it is best left to the imagination.

I wish I lived in MA. The whole state has such a mysterious and fascinating aura around it. I loved it when I visited and didn’t want to leave!

I grew up in Auburn, which is about a 15 min. drive to Spider Gates. I graduated in 1984, and Spider Gates was legendary back then, too. I went twice to investigate the alleged paranormal activity there. Once was at night, with a bunch of guys I knew in a band. The only sounds we heard was once of the guys howling trying to scare me. The second time, I went years later with my lifelong best friend to get to the bottom of the legend. There is only one gate, spider-webbish in design, thus the name. The gravestones are nothing special or ornate, but many are pretty old. Back then, the legend said that as you passed each gate, ou wuld lose a different limb, until you finally bled to death. I walked to the back of the cemetery, over the stone wall, and through a wooded area. After a few minutes, I came to a beautiful stream with pretty flowers blooming everywhere. I was just about to cross it when I heard gunshots in the distance. It was then that I discovered that we had walked to the back end of the Leicester Rod and Gun Club, of which my Uncle was a lifelong member. I realized that the story was probably concocted to keep kids away from the rod and gun club and keep them from getting accdently shot! I’m not saying that the cemetery is definitely not haunted; through my studies I have learned that most cemeteries will have occurences of “orbs” at times. Sorry to debunk a cool childhood rumor, but there is nothing to the legends of Spider Gates.

Forgot to mention…the orange and blue lights you see are lights from the runways at the Worcester airport, which borders the woods around Spider Gates. And if you do go, you def. have to eat at Hot Dog Annies! Get the bbq dogs!

i have been to spider gates a few times. very pretty place kinda eerie but i have not seen anything out of the ordinary i have lived in MA my whole life and i have visited this place during the day and the night. pretty cool to do pictures tho im an underground model so i find this place to be a pretty cool place to check out and take pictures

Spider Gates is protected by a a secret cult which controls many of the local communities including the board of selectmen in Leicster MA. When police patrols are heavy in the area of Spider Gates that means there is a ceremony is being preformed within the walls of the eight gates. The other 7 gates are only visible during an orange moon in the harvest season. During this time if you pass through the main gate 3 times while reciting the Hail Mary from the last word to the first word ( in reverse), cross over the alter with your eyes closed and not making a single sound, then listen for and follow the sound over the second wall and to the babbling brook. Follow the brook up stream to the first wooden fence line, do not cross the fence line with out a blessed cross, because beyond that fence you will encounter the red eyed hoofed beast!

My friends and I went there a couple years ago…we didnt see anything haunted although just being there around Halloween it was creepy. We did get stopped by the police on the way back to the car so be careful because they do patrol the area frequently.

I’ve been to Spider Gates a few times and never had any experiences, I was creeped out a bit but had no experiences. The couple times I have been there have only been during the day anyway. BUT! My dad’s fiance took pictures in the cemetary at night and there were orbs over each grave in the cemetary, so I am undecided.

DO NOT GO TO SPIDER GATES!. First and foremost, my friend had been on multiple occasions. The time I joined him the cops gave him a citation, apparently because he had already been told not to visit again. It is a private and active cemetery still used today. Secondly, there IS only one gate, and a few graves. The “River Styx” is a small stream that runs through the area, not large enough to put a toy boat in. The walk there is long, and adds to spookiness, but there is nothing there to mention or to write home about. Again, if you go there you will most likely be shunned away by Leicester police. In response to the orange moon post, if you are to do something as complicated as you say, then obviously it is meant for noone to do and therefore is a crock of bull.

does anyone no where the cave is? I’ve searched all the woods and sylvester st. did find a cave but it isn’t the one you can walk into an stand in. this cave is app. 7 tens of a mile from spider gated. know where the old mill is the second cemertary is but no cave

Hey everyone I’ve lived in worcester my entire life and some stories about the place are true, and some are plain myth . As far as murders there’s only one real accounted for of a Six year old getting beat to death by a young adult (19) in front of one of the three hidden caves. Many people have been there and not found much but let me tell you there’s more then meets the eye. As far as directions follow the back or the worcester regional airport untill your next to the end of the runway with the giant red lights flashing on one side of the street . And a huge feild to the other side of it, they’ll be a yellow bar that’s a barracade for cars to not enter a path. Follow the path about a mile or so and you’ll be at the entrence of spider gates.
