Burkholder Cemetery

Mohawk Avenue
(between Upper Wentworth and Upper Sherman)
Hamilton Mountain, Ontario

The following is a report of the myesterious events and happenings that surround the Burkholder cemetery.

"There are tales of a queer light that used to run along the ridge of the old church roof before a death. Sometimes it would float away, until it rested over the house that contained the doomed occupant.

They also had one instance of a grave robbing by a local pioneer doctor who needed a skeleton. He was found out by a servant girl, who told of suspicious pieces of flesh being boiled in the huge wash-boiler in the doctor's home. At a subsequent tea meeting in the house, that same boiler was used to make tea."
