Fall Brook, PA Cemetery

We are going to do an investigation of Fall Brook Cemetery in the near future, as we heard it is supposedly haunted and many of the caskets have raised to the surface. Here's what we found online about it:

"Fall Brook is a ghost town located in Ward Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, United States. The town has been deserted since around 1900. In 1860, the Fallbrook Coal Company founded the town on the Fall Brook Creek. John Magee and his son Duncan had discovered some coal along the banks of the Fall Brook Creek. The Magees also constructed a railroad to connect Fall Brook with Corning, New York where the coal was transported up to the Erie Canal. By 1862, Fall Brook had a population of about 1400 people. Eventually the coal ran out, and by 1900 the town ceased to exist. The town of Fallbrook, California is named after this town."
- Wikipedia

"The borough of Fallbrook was established in 1864. When the railroad closed the town slowly diminished to eventually nothing. Only a cemetery, some basement foundations, and small scattered personal items remain. The cemetery dates back to as early as the mid 1800s and is rumored to be haunted by children buried there who died from the bubonic plague. The majority of those resting there are children. Many of the plots next to the stones are raising from the ground to form mounds. Ghost hunters and seekers of the paranormal frequent the cemetery in hopes of finding whatever haunts the cemetery and woods surrounding it. Some say they have seen strange mists, felt uneasy or "watched" and even heard screams coming from the woods." 
- Wendy the Explorer

"Fallbrook is a ghost town located between Canton, Pa and Blossburg, Pa. This was a return investigation and was doubling as a training exercise. Numerous EVPs and disembodied voices were heard and recorded. Also a full scale shadow person was witnessed by an investigator but dissipated before video documentation could be gained. Truly an amazing place worthy of further study and experimentation and is an extremely HAUNTED location."
- Creeper Crew

"The smallpox raged in Fall Brook during the winter of 1871-2, and several deaths resulted.  On Saturday and Sunday May 11th and 12th 1872 fire raged in the woods surrounding Fall brook, and threatened the destruction of the town. The whole population fought the fire and succeeded in arresting its progress."

  1. I was actually out there a few months back, just before dawn until not much later. It's really not all that eerie despite the stories I was told, though it is definitely not in the best state of repair. Be sure not to step on any visible graves, not just for basic reasons of respect but at least as importantly, to prevent from falling in. Many of the coffins have raised up from the ground, though they're still covered in a thick layer of turf, but they're still a hazard. Further, many of the grave markers are either missing or simply overgrown, though to be honest I can't say which is the case. As for the paranormal though... It didn't seem that active at the time, but there have been more reports of the paranormal throughout Tioga over the past month or so. You might get lucky.

    PS: I'll tag along for beer. I'll be in the area a while longer.

    1. I had family in Morris Run. Is that town still populated? That's how I learned about Fall Brook. There wasn't much there in the early 80s

  4. Not haunted, all the stories are BS. It's very serene if anything, covered in creeping blueberries even. It's all just the same rehashed ghost stories that all the small towns have, but with names and places changed around.

THERE WERE COLD SPOTS IN DIFFERENT AREAS, YOU CAN HEAR MUSIC PLAYING. THE PICTURE OF THE BLACK FIGURE WAS TAKEN AT 7;20 PM STILL DAYLIGHT. THERE ALSO WERE FIGURES IN THE TREE WHERE I GOT THE PICTURE OF THE BLACK FIGURE.

  13. I was visiting this cemetary with my significant other, we are from the midwest. He was working just up the road from here. Cemetary's where we live look nothing like this so I was outside of the vehicle looking at the old headstones and searching for dates. My partner was in the truck with our child. As I was walking around I heard the loudest woman's scream coming from the trees. It sounded like someone was getting murdered. I heard it two more times before I ran to the truck and had my partner open his window. She let out another scream. It was so loud it didn't sound like it was deep into the woods or anything. I thought about calling the cops, which is something I don't ever, ever do, because I thought maybe someone was getting murdered in the trees. It had a 'ghostly' sound to it, though. I hate using that term but I don't know how else to describe it. It was so loud and clear but I couldn't pinpoint the exact location it was coming from. She screamed more than ten times before we left. I would have investigated further had my baby not been with us.

  15. I have visited this place and oh my goodness....i was so scared. Walking through the gate......it turned instantly cold. The people with me had a Halloween mask on and someone ripped it off his face. I was elevated 2 feet off the ground. We left and someone beat is to ghee gate. We did get out, but a few of the dark spirits followed us home.

  16. Beware there are some people that stay up there in the summertime that call themselves the watchers. They will chase you with weapons or with anything. However, they are only there sometimes. They are said to be doing rituals up there to communicate with the witch who is buried within its gates. Everytime i go there i check the road below and up to make sure no ones there, but its never a for sure answer. If you go to martha rowleys stone and walk straight in the direction that her fallen headstone points you will see the spot where the witch kilt her children and was hung. its a little mountain hump. If you keep heading that way youll find some creepy stuff but i wont spoil anymore. Safe travels friends.

  17. Been here several times. Got an interesting picture from there and also a voice replying to something I was saying to my friend back in 2017. We also have had attachments from there and captured the same voice saying the same sentence as it did back in 2017 but this just happened a few weeks ago (2020). The weird thing is that we weren't at Fallbrook when we got the voice again, which is how we learned we have an attachment.

  18. One night me and my friends went to fall broom cemetery to see if some of the story’s were true we heard and while we were there that night we continuously heard voices and saw a figure a little while later we heard a women’s scream and even a grave opened up with stuff inside but when we decided to leave our flash lights started the flicker and then suddenly stop working but after a while they started working again and finally when we go to the car we noticed little foot prints on the windshield and on the car and hand prints around it and on the door then suddenly we heard the women’s scream and again and then we quickly hopped in the car and when we tried to start in nothing then car would start after a little and trying to start the car it started and when we turned the lights on we saw a dark figure flash by then after that we left and I’ve yet to go back at night again.

  19. My wife and in-laws were born and raised in Tioga county specifically Wellsboro and Covington. The grave yard is well known to locals but due to it's location and lack of sponsorship has become over grown at times. The majority of the graves are children and some families lost multiple children due to the plague. I've always been sensitive to spirits and I can tell you there is nothing evil about this place, i will say the light that comes through the trees reminds me of the peaceful calm before a tornado. The energy is shy at first but as you walk around it becomes playful, there is no guarantee you will see, feel or hear anything.There is no witches grave and If you visit be respectful and please cleanup after those who are not.

  20. Grew up in Tioga County and visited the Fall Brook many times. Allot to explore around Fall Brook.When we found the cemetery I was struck by the fact that many of the grave stones showed they were children. Later heard the small pox "plague" story. Couple of visits in the late 80's had a few experiences that made us uncomfortable. We once got stuck near the cemetery entrance and another we had transmission troubles and another time we saw large black dog/wolves. Later heard the dogs likely escaped from a breeder located between Mainsburg and Fall Brook. Visited Fall Brook after many years around 2010, allot of changes in and the area. The cemetery looked as though someone tried to do some work to clean up and set some of the stones back up. Felt comfortable on this trip.
