Background: The Hoyt Lakes Memorial Cemetery is said to have the typical "vanishing hitchhiker" that plagues a lot of cemeteries and their ghostly lore. It is said that a young girl was once left behind in the cemetery and died on the grounds due to fright. If you pass by the cemetery late at night, you will run into this girl who is looking to get back with her friends. There are some grave markers in the cemetery that could fit the description of the young girl. There are two females that are buried there who died when they were 18-19 years old. The story trails off in truth due to the fact that if the story is true and the young lady did get left behind by her friends, how did they know how she died? Did she really die of fright? Was there ever a young girl left behind or is it an urban myth created by local teenagers? Not enough is known or proven to show that this case is true. |
