Butler/William Ganong Cemetery

The Butler/William Ganong Cemetery is perhaps one of the most written about cemeteries in the state of Michigan because of the countless claims it is haunted with active paranormal encounters. The most common claim is the sighting of a literally traffic stopping blonde beauty in white who appears in the road in front of travelers, causing cars to swerve to avoid hitting her.
This historic graveyard was thrust into notoriety in 1980 when a well-known area psychic, the late Marion Kuclo, paid the cemetery a visit. While walking in the cemetery Kuclo, also know by her Wicca name of Gundella, thought she saw a blonde wig laying on the ground. In fact, it turned out to be a woman's scalp. As she got closer, she also saw a bone sticking up through the earth and, nearby, pieces of an old coffin neatly stacked in a pile as well as bits of what may have been a white satin dress. The authorities thought a heavy rain must have washed the casket up or it was dug up by animals. Not long after Gundella's visit and discovery, a driver was killed when he veered off the road just outside the cemetery, on what is now called the Bad Curve. Paranormal investigators still report hearing screams in the cemetery at night. The cemetery is also said to be the site of ritualistic activity as said to be reported by the Detroit News in 2000 after a kettle with bones, feathers and charms was found as well as pentagrams painted on tombstones.
The cemetery was donated by a local farmer in 1832 from a portion of his property to be used for burials. It is home to 350 deceased and is now closed to new burials. Among those buried are 25 of the Ganong family, several World War I and II veterans, one veteran of the Mexican-American War and numerous Freemasons. Albert Ganong, who perished in Libby Prison at age 17 is among the veterans buried there. The cemetery is now owned by Wayne County.
