Tinkers Creek Cemetery

Tinker’s Creek Cemetery

 Is also know as the Old Indian Cemetery, Terra Vista Cemetery, Hillside Cemetery, and Pilgerruh Cemetery, it is the burial ground of early settlers of Tinker’s Creek. It is also said the Ottawa Indians are buried there, most likely because of the name Old Indian Cemetery that it has historically been referred too.

Located on top of a BIG hill, this abandoned graveyard is widely reported to be haunted.

In this cemetery, accounts of an evil dark shadow figures, ghostly phenomenon, and even cult activity.

Tombstones marks the grave of a Comstock family pioneer. Sources say that he was one of the first white burials in this cemetery.

He died in 1810 at the age of 40. The bottom of the tombstone reads:

Adieu, to all things here below,
Vain world, I leave thy fleeting toys.
Adieu to sin, fear, pain and woe,
And welcome bright eternal joys.

When early settlers needed to burry the dead they didn’t have the benefit of an undertaker. Instead a log was cut and split and then was hollowed out, the body was then placed inside hollowed out log. After that it was then put together and sealed with wooden pins.

During the 1800’s it was common for many pioneer family members died young. This may be the cause why people report hearing the faint laughter and giggles of children at the cemetery.
