History & local legend
Mount Zion Cemetery near Pottstown in Chester County had office stories involving knocking, moaning and figures seen in rooms. South Jersey Ghost Research visited on August 28, 1999, and described an incident witnessed by employees and investigators together.
While caretaker and investigator Hildred Robinette were talking, a coat rack began shaking. The team said the movement continued intermittently for roughly ten minutes.
In a separate part of the visit, the caretaker and three investigators approached the basement entrance of a garage behind the chapel and each felt strongly reluctant to go downstairs.
