Perhaps even more eerie than all the unexplained phenomena are the accounts of total silence throughout the cemetery grounds. Graveyards are inherently quiet, but this takes it to a whole new level - many people say they didn’t hear a single sound - not even that of a bird chirping or the wind blowing - while there.
