The many ghost stories associated with Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery probably began in the late 1950's. However this area was well known to the gangsters of the 1920's and 1930's because a number of bodies were found in the small lagoon bordering the cemetery that was thought to be victims of the mob and organized crime. Police officials discovered not only bodies but also illegal firearms.
In December of 1971, Denise Travers claimed that she was able to pass her hand through the light on a very close encounter. She felt no heat or sensation at all. It was like putting your hand into a void. Skeptics say that the blue lights were actually the methane gas given off by decomposing bodies. However, most of those bodies had crumbled to ashes long ago. The blue lights have not been seen since the latter 1970's however a new light has been reported with increasing frequency zooming up and down the main trail leading to the cemetery’s entrance. This light has been likened to a red skyrocket and is never stationary but constantly moving.
