There is a grave of a so-called witch hidden in the back of a cemetery on a tall hill north of town. People have stayed there overnight to see if it was haunted, only to hear weird sounds like mumbling and sometimes see a strange figure walking around, only to disappear next to a tree.
Haunted Lineage note: Previously listed as “Witch’s grave”. The official name is Greenwood Cemetery – Witch’s Grave. The address and listing title were updated to reflect the correct official name and location at Greenwood Cemetery, Cemetery Hill, Galena, IL 61036.
Located on a steep hill overlooking Galena, Greenwood Cemetery dates back to the 19th century and is the final resting place of several prominent local figures and Civil War veterans. Local folklore has long attributed spectral phenomena—including mysterious mumbling voices and shadow figures—to an unmarked or reputed “witch’s” burial plot located toward the wooded rear perimeter of the cemetery grounds.
