It isn't the church itself, but the adjacent cemetery that is haunted. Graves, some worn-down and dilapidated, date back as early as the the 1840s. The legend goes that there is a ghostly black dog with red eyes that will chase you out of the graveyard. There is speculation as to what the dog is--a Native American entity? Perhaps a demon? A spiritual guardian who protects a certain grave or graves? We didn't encounter it when we went, but that's not to say it isn't there. Things did happen. Once inside the gate, I felt like something was sucking the breath out of me. It was hard to breathe, and the sensation continued the further I walked inside, but it immediately went away as soon as I stepped outside the gate. Shadows darted behind trees and graves in the light of the flashlight. One of our friends had his one-year old son with him. He stood beside the cemetery holding the baby while we went in, and he said that the baby kept pointing inside the cemetery and waving, but there was no one there. We also heard a really creepy noise coming from inside the cemetery. It definitely wasn't human, and it didn't sound like any animal I've ever heard. The best I can describe it is kind of like a cross between a dying dog and a painful scream. Was it the black dog? Perhaps.
