The Witch’s Ball At Myrtle Hill Cemetery

There is a spherical stone in Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Valley City said to mark the grave of a woman who, in life, was a very tormented soul. The woman was married and had several young sons. Unfortunately for the woman, all the men in her life took great pleasure at abusing her, both physically and mentally. After years of continuous abuse, the woman had had enough and plotted her revenge. She finally decided to poison the family's water supply, the well in the back yard.

SO successful was the woman's plan that she ended up killing her entire family, which is then disposed of by dumping them one by one into the well. But with almost an entire family now missing, it didn't take long for the neighbors to get suspicion. Eventually the bodies were discovered and the woman arrested. Prior to her trial, she was deemed unfit to stand trial and instead was committed to a state mental hospital for the rest of her life. Upon her death, the woman's remains were relocated to Myrtle Hill Cemetery and buried beneath the round stone. That's the spot the woman's ghost is believed to haunt to this day
