Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Quaker Cemetery

Worcester, Massachusetts

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.

People should give up telling each other what to think. If someone feels something at the cemetary then they do, if they dont then they dont. Stop bitching each other out over such a stupid reason. Get a life

ya i went to spider gates last night for my boyfriends cousins birthday, we all wanted to be freaked out alittle. we got to the right road and there was a bunch or paths and some with yellow gates blocking them. i dont know if we where at the back way or not cause i heard there are 2 ways to get in there, but we where on the same road the recycleing center was on. so we never got to see the gate. i was just woundering could someone whos been there be alittle more detailed about witch path it is. missmegan123@yahoo.com thank you!

This cemetery sounds interesting. Unfortunately, some people have to give all of us a bad name (high schoolers thrill-seeking and such). I would love to visit this cemetary (don’t worry Pleasant Friends poster- I would still sneak in but you would never know I was there), but there is plenty around where I live. There are some of us who want to do nothing more than observe and research. I would say most of us paranormal researchers are highly respectful of the property, escpecially those of us who are history buffs.

It has been so many years that i have been at spider gates. I surpose that it the stories that make the place haunted, but lets think for a minuit, its a semetry, there all dead, of course the place and 5000
other sementry have a haunted thery about them, but it is the excitiment that lives on and our fears that seem to come to be relastic. if you want to believe
go with it and if not that is fine too, but being scared lets face it its pretty cool. expecialy around holloween. by the way there is only one black iron gate with a spider on it . not sure were the other 7 gates came from but there not there.

Back in the early 80’s Before the road was blocked you could drive by there.One day on a Sunday afternoon A friend and myself decided to drive by the place so he could see it for the first time.As the car rounded the corner directly in front of the main gate BAM the car just went dead.It was like the battery was gone.For 5 min we sat there wondering what was happining then just as if nothing was wrong I turned the key and the car started right up.Needless to say we got the hell out of there with a real wierd feeling.Never did that car stall before in all the years that I drove it or did it ever stall after that.Just that one time at the place directly in front of that place they call Spider Gates.Take it for what its worth but this is a true story.

I have been there, and alot of weird things happned. I have read about the quarters on top of the head stones, which is done as a sign of respect to the dead. Walked by a set of headstones where no quarters were there, and then on the way back, they had quarters on them. This could all be chalked up as a mishap up untill this point as there are alot of headstones, maybe I was looking at the wrong one. On the walk back to the car however, we could not help but feel as we were being watched. And you could almost see figures in the woods. Upon arrivial at the car, which was locked by remote when we left the car, had been unlocked, and the door had been opened. Nothing had been taken from the car, to my surprise as my wallet was right on the front passenger seat, untouched. However left on the drivers seat was….you guessed it. A quarter. Weird. I drove as fast out of this place as I possibly could without being pulled over by the cops, who do patrol there strongly. Maybe this was something of the unexplained, or maybe it was the owners and surronding residents who do not want us on their property. But how would they have gotten into the car, with no damage to the locking mechanism? AND the alarm did not sound?

Hey I’ve been to spider gates before, its pretty creepy. I think things may be a little odd, but you have to use your imagination to make out figures and sounds. Its not really scary, but some weird things did happen to me and my friends.

I lived in Worcester, Mass in the 70’s; I went to South High School from 69 to 73.

Spider Gates was a favorite drinking and partying spot back then. I never remember anything weird happening in the cemetery but I do remember the larger gates you spoke of in your web article.

Really don’t remember the exact shape of the gates but they did look more like a spider web and as I said were much larger than the ones that are in your pictures.

I haven’t been back since the 70’s. I’m glad because it is a shame to loose a peace of history like this.

Just wish they had redone the original gates, or at least copied them. As a welder and fabricator I would love to build the original gates for them if they could find an old picture of them so that I could build them more like the originals.

Thanks Steve Nadeau
