Garden of Hope Cemetery, Gautier

Garden of Hope cemetery is not only one of the most haunted places in

Mississippi, but it is also considered to be one of the most haunted graveyards in
the whole of the United States. There are several spirits connected to the

cemetery which have contributed to the cemetery’s reputation. One of the spirits

that is often seen is a young and pretty friendly female spirit that is known as
Cheryl Anne. There is also reports of a man believed to be her father, Hal, who

apparently murdered Cheryl Anne, her mom and her siblings! He is said to come

out of his grave, steal the floral tributes from other graves and then return to his
own with the ‘loot’! Some visitors to the cemetery have also encountered another

spirit known as Bloody Sarah. It is said that this apparition runs into the road
making motorists think that they have knocked run someone over. She finds this

highly amusing and laughs maniacally throughout the incident!
