While some might find cemeteries to be a bit on the scary side, others find the charm and history alluring. Cemeteries hold keys to the past, even if there are reported haunted happenings over the years. One particular cemetery in Florida that dates back to the late 1700s is said to be haunted, and yet there is still a beauty to it that is unrivaled.
Located at the very top of the state, close to the Georgia-Florida border is Bosque Bello Cemetery, noted as one of the most haunted cemeteries in the state.

There are many different graves here dating back to 19th-century Spanish residents. You’ll find graves of rum runners, politicians, boat captains, magicians, lighthouse keepers, and more.

What’s most interesting about this cemetery is that it is reportedly haunted - with multiple ghost sightings reported over the years.

With victims of both yellow and typhoid fever epidemics buried here, it might make sense for the majority of the ghost sightings to be of children wandering the grounds at night.

But even with reported eerie sounds at night and multiple sightings, this Old Florida cemetery still maintains history and charm.
