Quaker Cemetery
Called Spider Gates because it has eight gates, this cemetery is said to be very dangerous. Starting at the first gate it is said that one will hear whispers and notice leaves moving around when the wind is calm. As one gets closer to the eighth gate, it is said they will feel the sensation of someone brushing against them. Others have reported seeing people walking aimlessly around graves. As one gets closer to the eight gate, the sensations and images become so strong that most people faint. No one has ever made it to the eight gate. It is said that some have suffered massive heart attacks and died because they were over come with fear.

I grew up about 1 mile from spider gates. We use to ride our bikes there in the early 80’s, and from what I remember at that time there were no gates, legend had it that they were in the smithsonian museum. I see from recient photos there are now gates present. And yes, there was a rope about 2 feet long hanging from the tree through the entrance on the left. Some of the stories i have read on the different websites differ from what I remember as a kid though. Never heard about 8 gates, what I remember was if you passed over the far wall you’d never come back, and the rope was from a man and he was found with no clothing but his personal items were on the ground below him. Who knows? The place is kinda creepy and as a kid I would never go there at night. But I do remember one wierd thing that did happen, and 3 pthers can back me up. Like a said we used to ride our bikes there and we were using one of the headstones as a jump (dumb kids) the next day we returned and the headstone was perfectly straight up and down ( I swear on this). Having not been there in 20 or so years and seeing the websites is kinda cool. Hope they do a movie about this place!!!!!!

spider gates is not haunted at all. it is where we lay our relatives to rest. would you like it if from 100 years from now if where your parents are burried that it will no longer be respected because of curious teenagers creating some ghost stories just to have aome laughs. we here at FRIENDS find it very dissrespectful that our cemetery is treated the way that it is our relatives deserve respect and they will get the respect that they deserve. as of JUNE 1 2006 FRIENDS cemetary will be closed off from all tresspassers the will be security stationd at the Earle st enterance anyoned found tresspassing will be prosecuted and fined $600 for disturbing the peace. To the respectful tourists we apologize for the inconvenience but until further notice FRIENDS (spider gates) will be closed to everyone!!

Well i personaly have never been to spider gates but a x-friend of mine was there and spent the night there and was visited by a female ghost aperation.But i would like to go there why hasn tany ghost hunters ever been there to prove once and for all if it is realy haunted or not.I do not want to get arrested if i go there but i would love to go and see for myself what it is like.I also had a friend tell me their is evil demonic spirits there and a group did go in to check it out and left very fast and not all in the group came out a few did not come out of there at all weither or not it is true.I still think they should send in anyone that does ghost hunting or can people who detect paranomal activity there to spider gates to prove once and for all the truth to spider gates. And i live in worcester not to far from there and some day i will go there but for now we should try to get someone with the ability to find the real truth about spider gates.

hey i’m 16 and over the summer i went with my bestfriend to go and check it out. she has been there a couple times and she did her science fair project on it. she took pictures and all of them next to her, there were ghosts. that same day her mom had stitches in her chest because she had breast cancer and they popped open and she had to get rushed to the hospital. but like i said i went there and we sat down in the middle.. i guess it’s the worst place or something and yeah we had a picnic.. and it immedatly started down pouring with thunder and lightening and the gates slammed shut. the forcast for that day was fine, we checked. it was very scary. serisouly if you have like no reason to go unles you somehow have family there i suggest you don’t go. it is private property and it can be dangerous.

Hey! This story is creepy! I live in England and we dont have anything as interesting as any of these stories. I dont know how any of you can go near it, let alone in it, espeially in the dark! The scariest thing we ge over here are horror films, which are made in America any way – boring!

I think hauntings are so wierd. I mean some people can be so superstitious and just plain stupid about strange things such as ghosts that you can never be sure about whether these things are true or not. As for regarding this particular story give me proof who has died before reaching the gate? This story isn’t so creepy at all!!!

I have been to spider gates many times myself …. first off there is only one gate. i have gone during the day, during the night, and have never seen anything. Cops do frequent that area often, and no its not cause they are trying to cover something up, it has to do with the fact that it is a very small and private cemetary. And for those of you not from around this area, you cant find the cemetery just driving, you have to know where to park, and walk through the woods to get there … not worth it at all if you are looking for a scare, but it is a nice quite cemetery with a cool gate. Thats about it.

I have been to spider gates plenty of times, nothing happend at all except once, my friend and i went up there one night, just as the legend said about mysterious fog it was there that night creeping around the paths, my friend went in, but for some reason this night I was scared, and went back to my friends car, as i sat there something or someone started to shake the car, i got out & look everywhere, nothing was there, so who was it skeptics of spider gates?

i live about 2 miles away from Spider Gates. it really isnt haunted at all. besides, there is only one gate. and people are still being buried there and graves are still maintained. its not just some abandoned cemetery. the dead isnt something that should be messed with. it is not a haunted cemetery. its just trees, grass, and gravestones. thats it.

I have never been to Spider Gates. But I plan on going with a friend once the weather is right. I’ve heard many stories about the cemetery and I’m curious as to see if it’s true or not. I do believe in spirits and I’ve experienced a few things. There’s a lot of non believers out there and thats fine. You can believe whatever you like. But please leave your spiteful comments to yourself. Stop acting like little children. There is no need for that.
But as I was saying. In my culture, to be able to experience something supernatural you do not go with a gazillion friends. If you do, you won’t see anything at all. Go with just one other person. I’m pretty sure then you’ll see something or feel something.
And about the 8 gates..there is only one. It’s believed that spider gates is the 8th gate to Hell. Not that there are 8 gates….

I have been to Spider Gates twice at night and many times in the day. I have never seen our felt a thing while I was inside. As for gates, only one. No others! One gate, that’s it! I remember the stories and in my time they said 11 gates. As to the person that was told that bums and hobo’s where up their. That’s just not true. Bums would not travel to an area that is so far from the city. No shelter, nor liquor and Hobo’s like to be near trains. No trains or food near by. “5 miles into the woods.” Sorry to burst your tale, but that is not possible. There are homes and roads that cut across in shorter spans than 5 miles in any direction from spider gates. It’s more like .5 miles in a north to south direction which abuts the Worcester Airport. Any one seen stopping near the fence at the airport will be accompanied shortly by police dispatched to get you moving. On the other side are homes. Not many, about 3 very well spaced homes. The area is creepy, this is true. The tales are just what they are. The area was a good to visit, but like must things people did not respect it and the city closed it off. Like the idiot that used a stone as a jump for his bike. I went up their with to other friends. We walked around and where respectful of the stones. One night while we where sitting on the back stone wall a bunch of cars came up. Dump scared punks. At least twenty kids with baseball bat’s came out. That’s what screwed things up. They where all drinking and loud. The only way to understand something is to experience it in a manner that you can truly experience. I have never encountered anything. Day or night.
If you can go see for yourself. You cannot park any where near it now. So, it would be a long walk on roads that are not lite. Passing homes that look creepy. Untill you get to the dirt road that travels about 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile into the woods where Spider Gates is located. Just dont go up thier thinking that its all true. Let your expreince be the truth.

I’ve heard of this graveyard, but the website I heard it from agrees with most of you in saying that the horrors of it are mostly myths. I’ve also heard some other creepy stuff about this graveyard, though.
Allegedly there’s a small crevice in which a girl was raped and killed.
There’s a tree with rope hanging from it that’s left there that’s said to be from when a teenage boy was found hanged.
It’s said that there’s a section of the graveyard that’s somewhat separated from the rest. However, you can only find it once.
I haven’t been there myself, but the legend behind it does seem very intriguing. I kind of hope it is true, although I doubt such.
