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.
