This cemetery is located off of Fort Dade Ave. in Brooksville and it is an old black cemetery with the earliest "known" burial starting in the late 1800s. It has been said that at dusk, you can see what seems to be a man hanging from a tree limb. Groups of ghosts have also been seen standing together around the headstones of family plots. One report claims you can hear an infant crying at certain times during the night.

No trespassing

This place is NOT open to the public. Tried to ask permission to the owner to take pictures and just admire it but was met with rude remarks and accusations instead by owner.

Truly unexplainable.

I wanna start this by saying they have the cemetery locked up due to people disgustingly using it as a dumping ground & there are numerous working cameras on the trail as you walk back, very unfortunate. I even went out there and called the owners, asking to be let in and was denied. They don’t like visitors that’s for sure, only open rarely. Fortunately, I have gotten a chance to go back in there before & let me say if there is such thing as a truly haunted cemetery it is this one. The feeling you get in this place is insane. Feels like there’s people watching you from the trees, just over all the feeling that your not alone. My sister went there multiple times years ago with a group of friends, they had some pretty intense experiences & she has told me about it forever, so I had to see for myself. First of all, we have gotten some of the clearest Spirit box communication at this cemetery. I have multiple pictures of what I and everyone who has seen them, believe are spirits. Honestly, I can’t even describe the feeling once you’re in there it’s like you can’t breathe. I went in the broad daylight and just felt like I needed to run out of the gate. it was the most heavy, intense feeling I have ever felt in a cemetery in the day. I’ve always been interested in the paranormal, but after snapping a few photos here it has become a passion. Whatever energy lingers there doesn’t feel very good but some of it is. After leaving one night we had handprints on our car, no way they were ours looked like they were crawling DOWN the back window. I want to debunk this as it being so unsettling because you’re in essentially the middle of the woods once you’re back there, but I have been to many many abandon cemeteries in the middle of nowhere, and I have never got a feeling like this. Very strange, but incredible. If you risk going out here PLEASE treat this place with the upmost love & respect that is so deserves & beware of the hogs!!

Amazing

I'll never forget the night we went. First the moment we drove into the cementary all of our phones drained from 100 to around 70%. Then we heard a huge bang around the porty potty went to investigate nothing was there. A couple other weird things happened. There was NO wind and there was a tiny wind tunnel thing there and it just started going crazy. We heard a baby cry then we saw something around the tree. We decided to leave and NONE of our cars wouldn't start. Finally after about 3-5 minutes they finally started. When we left we decided to go to the gas station and my friend saw there was a baby handprint and footprint on our his window. It was honestly a crazy, scary experience. I would 10/10 go head

A Seriously sad heaviness looms over this cemetery every times I’ve gone there. Odd bright large orbs noted sitting right at the tops of a few tombstones.
You know it’s haunted as soon as that dark tight road opens up to the cemetery.

Footage

My friends and I went here back in high school, 2006ish, we brought a camera, we saw several figures standing behind gravestones, we heard the drums, and the whispers, as we were driving around the trail to leave, my friends girlfriend who had the camera said “oh my god I just saw a baby” and when we turned the camera around, clear as day, a baby crawled across the trail. We went back in the day time and there is an infants grave next to their mother where we saw the figure. We got caught by cops out there and showed them the footage and instead of telling us to leave they left.

Horrible Rotten Smell

My friends and I went there the night before Halloween and didn't know any of the history behind this place or that it was such a renowned haunt. We didn't bring flashlights which I would recommend to other people because it is extremely terrifying walking down the road at night through the dense trees with only the flashlights on your phone. The air was very tense and clammy but we didn't witness any apparitions or sounds. What we did notice was that when we walked back to our car right in front of the gate there was a horrible smell of rotting death. We didn't smell it on the way in but it smelled like the rotten thing was hovering in our faces. I saw a similar comment on this message board about smelling a rotten smell when leaving but not when entering from back in 2020 and got chills all over. I have read about similar experiences with this place and have never felt so terrified about a place even a month after going. I will probably go back to visit with my friends during the day but I would warn against going at night.

Leave them.alone

Nothing like disturbing the souls of people who already endured a horrible life and finding entertainment in it, must be a great way to preserve the hx of those who suffered.

Now private property

My husband and I have been hearing a lot about Spring Hill, so much, we decided to check it out. We're into adventuring and paranormal investigations. We drove about an hour to get there and it is now closed and posted private property with video surveillance... Kinda disappointed we couldn't go in, not sure if it's open to the public during the day still but it is definitely closed off at night. Still a very creepy drive. Hopefully we'll come back during the day and check it out.

I have Photos Taken during Daylight

if you do not believe in spirits or ghost whatever you choose to call the dead. You will after a few visits to this location.
i recently got a sb-7 I'm excited to see if anyone comes through as clear as they did on the app. ( as i have a few very clear recordings)

Pretty creepy stuff.

Very eerie at night. Make sure to bring a spirit box! Using my SB7, I got a lot of chatter including a lot of “get outs” and even got someone to say “away with you.” Bring a lot of happy thoughts if you choose to visit the children’s part of the cemetery,
