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.

Hey TP, read my post its two above yours, I’ve been there fairly recently and its not all its hyped up to be. First off the place is tiny I’m used to cemetaries with hundreds or thousands of gravestones but this place looked like it had about 20. Theres rumors of a hanging tree which I didn’t see and supposedly a little cave where a dead girl was found stuffed in but I seen no rocks or anything that resembled a cave. While the cops were harassing us they said “I dunno what you read online but theres no gateway to hell”…..we were like thanks buddy but we didn’t come here to burn in hell for all of eternity. You have to cross a little bridge going over a river which some people try to say is the “River Styx” from the bible but I found the real name (I forget what it is)and we didn’t die after crossing like some say, so thats fun. Its still a creepy place and I recommend it to anyone who wants to investigate a little cemetary in the middle of nowhere then get searched and possibly arrested—(added rush bonus)

Thank you Chris for being at least serious for people that are interested in something like this. I think it is fascinating and dont know what to believe, but one thing I do believe is that there is no point in loging-on to one of these sites if you sre just going to critise other peoples beliefs, such as some guy/gal called Ariel.
Who agrees with me.

I also think putting stupid websites like the one that tell you the meaning of SEX, I am a teenager and I may be more mature then some!

I have been to spider gates and I think it has a very beautyful atmosphere when visited dury a nice spring day but, I have never felt any presance at all. I have been throughout the entire area.Through the woods and the plot, and without a doubt there are no more than the usual spiritual phenomenon. Quite a beautiful place but remember, it is a place of rest,so have some repect if you are to ever go there.
p.s. a very nice view of the dam and lake.

ok, I’ll put this to rest for all those who are not from the area, and have never been.

Spider gates is old, and in the middle of nowhere..so people blow it way out of porportion.

YES people have dies there, a girl hung herslef from the tree next to the gate (THERE IS ONLY 1 GATE) a guy was found dead there by some guy walking his dog.

I’ve been there many times and lived in Leicester MA as a kid. 1 time I went with a bunch of friends and we saw 2 candles lit in the center of the cemetary, one was back and the other white. We figured some freak satanists were doing something retarded satanists do because their dad bever hugged them.

Another time, my father who is 6′6 280 lbs, threw a beer bottle at the tree in front as hard as he can, it didnt break, threw at at another tree, broke easily, then tried another bottle on the tree in front, and still would not break… that was the weirdest thing thats happend to us there… which isnt much.

I’ve laid on the actual places people are burried, chilled and smoked butts, and no “paranormal activity”

Spider gates is the place that gets all the attention… people living in spencer, leicester should go to BORKUM HILL if you really want to see wierd things… its off rt. 31. Ive had a car chase us then dissapear, and then almost run over a decapated head of a cow… Its a dirt road.. about 10 miles away from spider gates in Spencer… that place has freaked me out more than spider gates. Its rumored that a lunatic in the early 1900’s stalked and killed few people that walked that road…

Have fun scaring yourself!

True, There have been several cases of bodies found at spider gates which adds to the attention.

A girl commited suiceide there, very sad actually. That happend in 1994.

A body was found there by a man and his dog, the newspaper article did not go into any specifics and really only noted that it happend ealry morning in 1998. My take on it is that there is some sort of uncomfortable feeling you get, like there is something watching.. but it could be nothing… my inclination is that your state of mind as you walk in predicts the visit and its experience while you in there… I beleive if your person decides the level of paranormal experiences, if your religous, you will not experience what others have, of your open to let the evil spirits in, then who knows what may happen… My personal experience has been enlightening… I find that Spider gates is a place of unexplained feeling of terrifying and grave unsettlement… dont go if you cant controll your thoughts, or Spider Gates will get the best of you.

PS Its BORKUM ROAD not BORKUM HILL – many stories as well… find out for yourself.

I just went to spider gates today. I wasnt aware that all the orginal old grave stones have been replaced with generic brick ones. It looked very cleaned up and almost welcoming. It wasnt what i was expecting but im happy that i found it and im happy that I went.

Eluding the police trying to get to this place is scarier than actually being there. There is no place to park on the street. If you park on the street the police will just go down there and arrest you. The only way to get to spider gates is parking at the landfill where you can hide your car and sprinting like .5 mile and hope that no cop cars come down the street. (It’s Leicester these cops have nothing better to do we saw a cop go by 3 times in 2 hours)

well its not technically a house its a cemetary, and if anyone has stayed there overnight is a liar because no one can stay there without police and you must notify them before you go inside so YOU DONT GET ARRESTED!!! if heard stories i believe there is some kind of presence due to the fact a girl was killed there in the tunnel and someone hung themself there a long time ago, bad energy brings bad things.

I went to Spider gates in 2004 with a boyfriend who is now an ex. He used to ride his dirt bike in the woods around the cemetary as a kid and was arrested and his dirt bike was taken away. We went together and there were some people wearing all black walking around. We were more scared of those weird visitors than of the cemetary which was not scary at all. You never know what kind of people may read this website notice that young people are going in the woods unarmed and vulnerable. People have been killed there, you must remember that it is near Worcester a city with gangs and you could end up getting raped or stabbed instead of just a little scare. So please kids, teens, and all alike DON’T GO IN THE WOODS, REAL PEOPLE CAN BE SCARIER THAN GHOSTS! That’s why the police watch it so much hello!?

Please keep in mind that what is haunted to some might not be to others. I think only some people can see ghosts. Those who believe and those who are a little more sensitive than others.

So if you haven’t seen, felt, smelt, or heard anything maybe you aren’t opened minded enough. But that doesn’t mean that what others say isn’t true.

I lived in worcester my whole life, and as a teen I did my share of trying to scare other teens by bringing them there, and scaring the heck out of them back in the 70’s. It is spooky place only because of all the stories,and peoples imagination. I never seen or herd anything other than other people that were there at the same time. It is a very nice old cemetary with beautiful head stones which have been ruined over the years buy young adults. I’ts a cool place to visit, but at the same time have respect for the dead. happy haunting

I’ve been to the Spider Gates in worcester. I went with my sister and her now ex boyfriend. We didn’t see anything, but I had a nasty feeling like I was being watched…He told us a few things that happened there. Some were: There was a man found hanging off a tree, and the rope was still on the branch, a little girl was killed there, a little boy had been seen and people sometime had found a little boy’s shoe. I think if you believe then you might hear and see things.
