Witch's grave - St. Thomas, Ontario - Urban Legends and Superstitions on Waymarking.com

From the website:

The Witch’s grave is an old black grave, grand and tall with four black posts surrounding it, in St. Thomas, Ontario. I came upon it awhile back by accident, when exploring the Old St. Thomas Church and its adjacent graveyard.
At the time, I didn’t realize that the Witch’s grave was called the “Witch’s grave” nor that it had urban legends associated with it. I just thought it was a really cool grave. Soon, however, I learned that Maria Ermatinger’s grave was the subject of much local lore and ghostly tales.
Several locals kindly took the time to recount the tales they had been told so many times. Some legends tell that Maria was a wealthy but mean and stingy woman in her time and that the townspeople burned her grave out of spite. It is said that if you step beyond the four posts guarding her grave, you will certainly be cursed! It is also said that the black cat that often roams the graveyard has been alive since Maria’s time and watches over her grave. Other tales say that Maria was a witch and that her grave bursts into flames every Hallowe’en.
