Gay Street Cemetery |
This is one of the cemeteries that we frequent the most. We really like this cemetery for a lot of reasons. One of the biggest is the mystery about it. You see we just call it Gay Street Cemetery because it resides on Gay Street in Warrensburg, Mo. This cemetery actually has no name. That is right I said it has no name. We have asked all over town to try and find the name of this cemetery but no one knows. Not even the historical society knows. Another reason we love this cemetery is because of the many entities that come forward in this place. Now, there is some history that we know about this cemetery. The most disturbing thing that we have found out about the gay street cemetery is the fact that over 200 tombstones where removed from this cemetery and placed in Warrensburg's newest cemetery Sunset Hill Cemetery. It is also very evident when walking through the cemetery that it was made smaller to allow for the addition of homes. Not only is this a disturbing fact but it is oh so wrong.

There are tons of children in this cemetery. Which in some ways is rather disturbing because who wants to think that so many children pass, but then when you go through the cemetery and look at the tombstones you start to notice the erra in which this cemetery was created. A lot of the inhabitance of this cemetery are from the 1800's. In this time you had lots of plagues and such that took a lot of childrens lives so it only makes sense that the presence of children is here.
The Old Man-There is an older gentlemen who roams around inside the cemetery. He loves the ladies, not in a preverted since but in a flirty old man sense. He is always picking on them. Likes to tap on your shoulder and he will even try to talk to you. One night we where out in the cemetery and it was very cold. Emilie Schoppe had two hoods up over her head when she felt what she thought was someone tapping on it. We just merely thought the old man was playing with her and continued to walk on through the cemetery. When we where ready to leave the cemetery she began to look for her keys but could not find them. We decided to go back through where we had walked in the cemetery to see if she had dropped them. We found her keys right where Emilie had felt the tapping on her hood. The old man took the keys out of her pocket and placed them on the ground. So quiet that we never even knew. He is a sly old man, but he is friendly and causes no harm. |

There is one entity in this cemetery that does tend to scare us a little bit. He also scares the children in the cemetery. He hangs out in the back left corner of the cemetery. It appears that he can not move from that area. He always hovers around behind the tombstone that looks like a tree. We would love to make more contact with him to see why he can not move from there. If there is something he is afraid of or something that is actually stopping him from wandering the yard. |

This is just one of the many unreadable tombstones that are almost buried in the ground at this cemetery. |
