Ghosts of Pleasant Mills Cemetery - Batsto (Hammonton), NJ - Ghosts and Hauntings on Waymarking.com

This is a very large cemetery located to the right of this country church. The area is remote and nothing is around for miles. The cemetery is reputed to be haunted and and the South Jersey Ghost Research actually did a case study here and came away with interesting and spooky data. The large cemetery has 572 interments located here as well including a veterans memorial. Besides the parishioners, the cemetery was also used by the local village people to inter their dead.

The first time they were here was July 28, 2000 from 11:40 pm - 1:30 am. Again, on September 25, 2004, there was another investigation. They caught pictures of giant orbs and ectoplasm, all equally spooky and scary. Some of the equipment used was Olympus 340R Digital Camera, Cannon Sureshot 60, hand held thermometers, Samsung Maxima Zoom 105, Ansco 35mm, Electrosensor EMF, Trifield Natural EM meter, ELF-Zone EMF Detectors, tape recorders, Panasonic Digital Voice recorder RR-DR60, Sony TRV103 Camcorder w/nightshot, motion detectors, N60 Nikon SRL camera, Cell Sensor EMF detectors, Raytech MT4 non contact thermometer, Olympus 360L digital cameras.

Resting in the cemetery is Simon Lucas, one of the church’s most colorful trustees, and William and Jesse Richards of the Batsto Iron Family. Also among those buried there are Captain Jack Van Dyke, Revolutionary War privateer, and Master of the brigantine “Gypsy Lane”. The graves here are mainly from the early to mid 1800's and including many family plots. Although there was heavy ground growth covering the cemetery especially pine needles and fallen leaves, many of the graves were well taken cared for and still quite readable. There was a truncated pyramid burial site as well as a 30-foot high obelisk. This is definitely a unique cemetery and quite unique both in the type of memorials it contains and location.
