Tyrone Ghost Hunters: Baughman’s Cemetery
Many Tyrone residents believe the old graveyard to be haunted
The first stop the Eagle Eye ghost hunters stop at is Baughmans.
It’s that time of year again! Time to be creepy and gruesome.
Yes, its Halloween time!
In honor of the Halloween season, the Eagle Eye would like to take our readers on a tour of haunted locations in our area over the next few weeks leading up to Halloween.
The first place on our list is Baughman’s cemetery in Tyrone.
Baughman’s has a very big reputation for being creepy as all hell.
within moments all of us in the car could of swore that we saw a shadow of a human hanging in the tree.

“I’ve been to Baughman’s more than ten times in the past year. I have seen orbs of light and three times out of ten times I’ve been there I’ve heard old war music. Like a beat of a drum,” said Tyrone junior Ricky Reader.
Baughman’s holds true to a legend about a man hanging lifeless in a tree in the grave yard. Legend has it that if you are there around midnight you might see a figure hanging in the tree on the far side of the graveyard.
As you drive up to Baughman’s Cemetery you’ll see several houses and a bend in the road. As soon as you turn on the bend, you’ll see a burial plot that you might think is a seven foot figure just waiting to scare the hell out of you. Then you see the tree, the tree that’s on the opposite end of the entrance to the cemetery: the legendary gallows tree.
“I have been to Baughman’s Cemetery about four times,” said Tyrone junior Zack Soellner, “One time in particular was Halloween night last year. A few friends and I went up to Baughman’s pulled next to the tree and sat. We sat there for a few minutes. Hoping, just hoping we would see something interesting. And then within moments all of us in the car could of swore that we saw a shadow of a human hanging in the tree. We then proceeded to get out off of the premises ASAP.”
Baughman’s is an extremely peculiar place it’s almost recommended to visit the cemetery sometime at night if you’re into getting scared.
It’s for sure a place to give you the heebie-jeebies, goose bumps, you name it…you’ll get it!

I was born and raised in Tyrone. We saw orbs of light and once a friend of mine saw a horse with no rider. One time a couple of my friends and I took to there to check out the hauntings there. We were standing in the middle of the cemetery and the flags on the graves were all flapping in a wind that was not present. Mind you this was back in around 1999. We got a little freaked out but of course I wanted to stay (I do paranormal investigations to this day) but my boyfriend and our friends wanted to leave. Once we were about to get to the car we heard footsteps running towards us almost like being bum rushed and we saw almost like a wind in a small area started moving to the car about 3 ft wide just making a trail towards the car. That did make me want to leave and we hauled butt out of there. We were up there on more than a few occasions. The man hanging in a tree has been a constant story for a good while. When I come back to Tyrone I do plan on visiting again! I guarantee we would get evidence or any other investigator would get evidence. It was insane the amount of activity there.

Does anyone know if you need permission to visit this cemetery and who would need to be contacted?
Thank you

I don’t believe so. We never had to when I was growing up. There used to be a lot of partying there when I was a teenager but I noticed over the years people have a good amount of respect for that cemetery. I haven’t been there in a long time and things might have changed but when I used to go there we never got kicked out.

Graveyard are Hallow grounds.
Grave yards are RIP.
Grave yards are where loved ones are placed in blessed earth hallow grounds to Rest In Peace and is filled with loved ones.
Please give this some consideration before turning a finial rearing place into something other than this.
Thanks

I agree but this is a cemetery that the hauntings are so strong in that it’s crazy. I’ve been to cemeteries that I don’t get any evidence. But for this and many others that is not the case. The cemetery holds some really crazy spirits.
