Gunntown Cemetery is an old cemetery in Naugatuck, Connecticut which was established in 1790. Many of Naugatuck's citizens who supported independence from British rule during the Revolutionary War are buried in the cemetery. The cemetery is also considered by many to be haunted.
[edit] Haunted reputation
Connecticut demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren have declared the cemetery "officially haunted". The most frequently reported phenomenon there is the sound of children's laughter and music that begins in the surrounding woods, then closes in on the listener until it seems to be inside the cemetery. Some people have also seen a solid black dog near the cemetery. Some feel that this is a foreboding sign of death. Sometimes a person clearly sees the black dog in the cemetery but his or her companions see nothing. Many photographs that have been taken at the cemetery depict spirit energy in the form of orbs, globules, and ectoplasmic mist. On rare occasions, orbs of every color have been seen flitting about the grounds with the naked eye.[1][2]
