In this case we are not only investigating, we are
also doing extensive research. This case is one we all agreed that we
needed bust. Over the past few years the Elizabeth myth has gotten out
of control. The grave yard is a wreck, and desecrated in morbid ways.
So far our results are leading us to our expected result. That this
story is nothing but an urban legend. We hope to bust this legend so
that the people of the
Mount Union-Pleasant Valley Cemetery
can rest in peace.
Myths:
Here are a few myth we have dug up on Elizabeth
*Elizabeth was hanged from a tree in the back of
the grave yard. Note that there is a tree in the corner of the
graveyard that people claim to have seen this apparition.
*Elizabeth was beheaded by townspeople because she
inherited her husbands land after he past.
*Someone took Elizabeth's baby, and she soon hung
her self.
*Elizabeth was a witch.
*Elizabeth had her baby taken away from her and
she hanged herself out of depression.
