Happy #3FatesFactsFriday Today’s fact is brought to you by 🐻! Well.. last week’s 3Fates Facts Friday written by Bee intrigued me when she suggested visiting the Forest Park Cemetery, otherwise known as The Gates of Hell. So I did some research on this suggested haunt for myself. The Forest Park Cemetery, located in Troy, NY, was formerly known as the Pinewoods Cemetery. It has graves dating back as far as the 1850’s and more recently has been referred to as the Gates of Hell by locals. The cemetery is mostly abandoned with more than a thousand graves which are the final resting place of restless souls. Upon passing through the gates of the cemetery there is a definite moody and dark atmosphere. Upon first wandering into the cemetery one will come upon the beheaded statue of an angel. Legend has it that visitors have seen blood dripping down the neck of this angel. For those visitors with the bravery to wander further into the cemetery beyond this beheaded angel and the many sunken graves, you may just wind up with scratches on the back of your neck and down your forearms as experienced by previous guests to the grounds. Paranormal investigators to the cemetery have reported seeing a young man dressed as a soldier appearing and hearing the word “hello”. This is believed to be the spirit of a young German Soldier who committed suicide on the grounds in the early 20th century. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, these legends that still exist today are very intriguing to many people. So if you are one of the many, perhaps you should look into these Gates of Hell stories yourself. Until next time, enjoy your paranormal searching days (or nights)! 😳😮 (Photo credit to original photographer) #cemetery #ForestParkCemetery #TroyNY #paranormal #spooky #ghosts https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSNjIntYrv/?utm_medium=tumblr
