Some places are, to put it lightly, creepy. Sometimes, you wind up in a place where something just feels off. It feels strange, and is it just you, or does it feel like someone (or something) is watching? If you’re at all familiar with North Dakota, you know that there are quite a few of those places ’round these parts, and some of those places just happen to be the creepiest grounds of all: cemeteries. We found a haunted cemetery in North Dakota that is quite literally known for being ridiculously haunted; it’s the notorious Riverside Cemetery, in Fargo, and it’s creepy as all get-out.

Riverside Cemetery has been rumored to be haunted for a long time.

It’s beautiful. Quiet. Eerie.

The cemetery is so well-known for its ghosts that it’s been listed in numerous “creepiest cemeteries of…” lists across the web, and on plenty of paranormal blogs and videos as well.

It’s also said that bizarre, unexplained mists, orbs, and strange anomalies have appeared in photos and videos of the area.

Located in Fargo, North Dakota, Riverside Cemetery was officially established in 1879, although the burial of its first occupant, a Ms. Clemina Lowell on February 16th of 1878, had already occurred on the grounds.

…and still, there are plenty of ex-employees who claim that no, the grounds are not, in fact, haunted at all.
