History & local legend
Brown Cemetery near Lyle Street in Jackson Township is associated with a nearby pond and a cluster of local ghost stories. People described lights among the trees and an elderly couple walking together near the water. Another detail concerned the air itself: wind supposedly moved through the graves while the pond remained still.
A visitor writing in May 2010 said they had been there four times and felt chills in daylight as well as at midnight. A friend on one visit reported being touched by something unseen. In 2011, a person who had spent childhood summers at a grandmother’s home on Lyle Street recognized the location as the burial ground they had grown up beside.
