  Please be respectful of headstones

  This was my ancestor’s property and family cemetery. My grandparents, uncles, cousins , great grandparents and beyond are buried there. Have fun if you must, but please do no harm while there. Lots of Grundy country historical figures buried there, including American Revolutionary families.

  Possibly a Relative of The Girl

  No specific experiences but I have a lot of Cryder relatives in that cemetery. As a Cryder, a benevolent but mischievous entity sounds like us! - Pieter Cryder

  eerie feeling & too quiet

  Any cemetery we visit comes with their own feeling and sounds. but when a cemetery is completely silent, that is a bit more creepy. we went during the day to vlog the area. surrounded by woods. no sights of any ghosts or hauntings. stopped on the bridge and vehicle wasn't effected

  My knowledge and experience.

  As someone who grew up in the area long before all the subdivisions ruined it, here’s what I know about this particular cemetery. In the late 80’s early 90’s I was told this cemetery was built on Indian burial grounds. The ground was spoiled due to two different spirit worlds colliding. Some of the graves were exhumed and moved to st Mary’s by McDonald’s. The farm next door was rumored to be involved in bootlegging during prohibition. There was supposedly 3 tunnels for moving the booze out of a barn. One went to the creek, one went north, and the third went to the cemetery. I heard these stories in school, but I do not know if it’s true. When I was in high school, I couldn’t believe how many devil worshipers there were there at minooka high school. They did a lot of stuff in the area and it was speculated that they opened some kind of demonic doorway. That 3rd tunnel that went to the cemetery was supposed to be a gate to hell, and I heard that from the devil worshipers themselves. Local law enforcement told me they would find dogs burned and sacrificed in the crypts in the woods near the creek. When I asked why dogs, they said, what’s dog spelled backward? The police used to sit out there at the entrance all week before Halloween because that’s devil week, and they tried to keep people out. I’ve had friends go out there and we’re demonically attacked. A blue glowing dog jumped on the hood, car engines die, the windows going up and down, and the gate closes behind you after you cross the bridge and come into the cemetery. These were some bad ass guys, and they still to this day will not go back into that cemetery. I have more info, I don’t want to post it, but I think much worse happened out there. My advice would be, all those spirits need to be left alone, and I truly hope they cross over or find some kind of rest, salvation, or find their way home to heaven. All those devil people are gone now and that whole culture doesn’t really exist anymore in the area. But when I was in school, Aux Sable was a dangerous place to go. I’ve been in there many times and never experienced anything. Part of me thinks, yep the history makes conditions right for something to happen, and another part of me thinks, you’re gonna find something if you really want to. If you are going out there, use caution. It really is beautiful.

  Our first visit to aux sable

  On October 14 2018 , my son , his girlfriend and my youngest daughter and I went to Dollingers pumpkin farm . It was a beautiful day with perfect temperatures. We all had a great time looking at the animals , going through the corn maze and shopping around for our family pumpkins for the house . As we were leaving we started talking about haunted places since Halloween was nearing . I brought up a cemetery near the area that’s said to be haunted and immediately the kids were intrigued and wanted to visit so we did . Once we arrived the cemetery seemed like a normal cemetery yet it had a creepy vibe that i couldn’t explain . We walked around respectively viewing the headstones some were from the 1700s and they showed their age . We stayed for under a hour but before we left I felt like I should take a few pictures of the grounds just because it captivated me with its aluring vibe and its strangeness . When I got home I shared my day with my wife who couldn’t go and I showed her the photos of aux sable . As we looked at them together I noticed things in the pictures that couldn’t be explained . The one tall tombstone that was in a distance had a strange head peaking out of the side that had two face within the head that Was clearly not of this world. I looked at them over and over again to see if it was a anomaly from a shadow or something from the clouds over head . Upon zooming in what we saw was a man’s face on the head looking away from us and on the side of the head looking at us was the face that terrified us . This face was lizard like and was something you only see In nightmares and horror movies . After I looked at the other photos I started zooming in and investigating their nature and to my surprise I noticed a faint figure of a young girl . This figure was semitransparent outline of a girl with pigtails about 10 years in a walk with a big stride . Her legs were far apart as if she were walking in big strides and her arms straight out in front of her like she was playing a game . The creepiest part of this photo was the face of a old man in the shadows of where the girl was walking. A few weeks after the visit very oddly my youngest daughter that was at aux sable had a chilling experience at my house . She was doing homework my wife was finishing up some cleaning and my son and I left to the auto parts store to get a part for his jeep . While I was in the parts store I received a phone call from daughter . She was crying and said she was hearing a young girl screaming for help from our basement over and over again . To my concern I asked if she was alone and were jen ( her step mother ) went . She said she stepped out to get a few groceries while she finished her homework so she was alone their with our two mastiffs . In the phone call I could hear the dogs barking at the basement door as if they heard her too . I rushed home and in the garage my daughter was white as a sheet and scared to death from this experience. I asked why she went to the door and she said she went there to get escape the screaming noise of the mysterious scream in the basement. I had blessed the house afterwards and no more occurrences happened sine . I believe that girl latched onto my family, my home from the visit to aux sable .

  Not right

  This cemetery during the day and night big diffrence snuck in at night bc heard all the rumors of devil worship and hauntings their. As soon as went through those gates the whole energy changed this was at around 11 at night. You just knew we where not supposed to be there. I was doing a spirt box and I’ll never forget what it said it said Thomas crash die. At the time didn’t take it seriously but a two years later a buddy of mine name Thomas crashed and passed away and it makes me think. We left after we got that spirt box we got a feeling we had to go we where not wanted at all and something was bout to happen if we didn’t

  Handprints and a welcoming feeling

  Handprints in the dust on my buddies previously clean car. We go all the time. Using a box, the spirits like to speak to us, as we’re younger, both 17. They seem to remember us. I wore pink the first time I went and every time I go they seem to say “he’s back, pink” over and over. It’s surreal but I don’t feel weird being there. I feel like I’m welcome, it’s odd.

  Audio out

  I visited this cemetery back in 2016 in September. I went there to metal detect the open areas around trees, where the cars line up ect, not ever directly over or around Grave stones. The original entrance was on the south end of cemetery and in early 1800s there was a small colony camp plantation along the creek is what I found out. On my way in before the bridge there was a girl walking north didn't really think about it till now but that was strange cause it was around 11 am and not to many things like gas stations or businesses close by. I wanted to recorded live on Facebook so I did and the moment I crossed the bridge over the creek my audio went out but still filming ??. Once I got in there I parked on south end by the original entrance of the cemetery. I left the driverside window halfway down got my detector and started swiping. 20min in I turned live Facebook back on still no audio but I was able to record which was strange but I knew what was going on. I decided to go inside the mosaleum as the doors were open and took a few pictures ?? creep feeling as I remember. After about 2hrs or so I went back into the woods along the creek but turned around to much ivy. Got back to my car and noticed my car window was all the way up. I had the key fob in my pocket the entire time. It was pretty alarming so I got out of there filming Facebook live but still no audio but the moment I crossed the bridge north over the creek my audio came right back. Definitely some demon stuff playing games back there.

  Voices

  When we pulled up, about an hour ago, the mausoleum doors were wide open, yes the crept was vandalized, but I went in to explore. I will say I had a strange feeling in there. I pulled out my spirit box, asked if it was okay and crouched down and immediately heard, "Please don't do that." Needless to say I walked out and shut off the box. I did walk around the crept (or tried to.) I was looking into the forest and poked my head around the back and heard plain as day, "You should go back." Without using the spirit box. Omg.

  There's something off about this cemetery

  I go to a lot of cemeteries because I find them peaceful and I like to take photos of the cemeteries I've been to. I have never felt that any of them were haunted or had a weird feeling (even at Bachelor's Grove) until I went to this one. I went twice in the same day because a friend wanted to come along later and I caught a glowing white orb and a transparent dark orange glow with my professional camera. One in the day, and one at night. The day photo might be a bug, but it's so transparent and I haven't had my camera pick up anything foreign before. The night photo on the other hand, has no explanation. There is a glowing white orb in the forest entryway and when I zoomed in on my photo, I can see it GLOWING white and lighting up the leaves of the tree it's under! My flash wasn't on, there weren't any light sources as it was night. I just can't wrap my head around what it could be. I am officially spooked out. When I was here alone in the day, I had a really weird feeling. I heard crying twice from the forest and lots of shuffling and footsteps behind me. When I walked up to the rusty door, there was a loud bang once coming from inside and it scared the shit out of me because it was completely quiet until I walked up to it. I'm not blowing smoke. I have NEVER encountered anything unusual in cemeteries before this one! Really weird!

  Very nice quiet place to visit

  Very quiet place...almost serene. My girls were using my EMF detector around the gravestone WALLEY when it started beeping and pointing to YELLOW which means energy is present. They dropped it and ran to the car. The EMF detector did not beep or move til we got to that particular headstone.
