The Haunting
Black Creek Cemetery has one of the more elaborate local legends in the batch. HauntedPlaces says an old church once stood beside the cemetery and dated to the 1800s. The story claims that in the early 1900s a young girl and her little brother cut across the cemetery at night, were chased by a bear into the church bell tower, and died there. At midnight, people say they can hear the children screaming, the bear, and the church bell.
The source adds that a new church now stands there and the old bell tower has been relocated. Comments amplify the legend with dreams, faint screams, a white figure, footsteps in the woods, cold spots, and emotional reactions. The child-and-bear death story remains unverified folklore.
