Myrtle Hill Cemetery

Myrtle Hill Cemetery, which is also known as Hardscrabble Cemetery, was established in 1822 and is still active. The oldest section is located towards the west side. There are many rows of old gravestones, and most are in great shape. It is very well taken care of. Myrtle Hill Cemetery is the location of the "Witch's Ball". There is a large ball-shaped gravestone there that supposedly belonged to a witch. Legend has it that the witch poisoned her family's well and threw their dead bodies down it. She was caught, and she spent the rest of her life in a nearby mental hospital. Another version of the story claims she was killed when it was discovered that she was a witch. Either way, she ends up buried beneath the ball-shaped gravestone. Today people claim that the gravestone feels hot in the winter and cold in the summer. Many also believe no snow, rain, or leaves fall on the gravestone.
