The Haunting

Lafayette Pioneer Cemetery is a Yamhill County cemetery wrapped in Oregon witch-lore. The recurring legend says a woman accused of witchcraft was hanged, cursed the town, and now appears in or near the cemetery, with reports of laughter, a voice saying "Run home," pursuit, and unexplained scratches.

The cemetery is tied to Lafayette's early settlement history and to one of Oregon's most repeated cemetery legends. The witch-hanging identity and legal history are not cleanly verified, so the story should be framed as folklore layered over a real pioneer burial ground.

Reported activity: Comments are mixed. Some former neighbors say they saw nothing unusual after years nearby, while others mention creepy video captures, a watched feeling from the trees, and confusion between Lafayette Pioneer Cemetery and nearby Masonic cemetery footage.
