Riverside Cemetery - Appleton

[ConfusedGirl]

What's the deal with Riverside Cemetery in Appleton, WI(and the path below the cemetery along the river)? I've read the previous postings, done lots of research on the internet and have heard many stories. I visited the cemetery and path last night with 3 very skeptical people who all believe there's nothing there. Help me explain or convince them that there is strange (paranormal) activity there. At one point last night I felt we were being followed. [I've also heard interesting stories...second hand...about cult activites that go on down on the path. I saw the graffiti...and identified it as gang graffiti (surenos 13)...(I've done gang research through my job with the police department). Can somebody help me piece together these mysteries?

You could always do a historical background on the property.

hey! not sure if u saw my posts on this cemetary or not but i have heard that ppl do sacrifices inside the structures. i was told that they sacrificed humans because of the green that coats the top of the structures but i'm not sure if i beleive that. When i was there i was scared sh*tless, i had to hold my wiccan friends hand because i felt kinda safe that way. I've been there durin the day(did a lil smoking lol) and it's definatly not as freaky, the structures still kinda weirded me out tho. I remember when i was there at night, when we were leavin we saw 2 ppl dressed in black w/ really white faces hiding by the houses that's right by the entrance. Looked like they were tryin to get in there but saw us and hid. That was kinda weird. But anyway, if u find out anything else i'd love to know, or even if u wanna go check it out together that'd be cool.

I am not sure I'll ever go back to the Old Catholic Cemetery, but I am definitely interested in what others find out.

Terry Fisk and I spent some time in the Riverside and St. Joseph Cemeteries last Friday night and Saturday morning. Friday night we were there with an NBC news crew and we went back Saturday morning by ourselves. I will have all the details and findings at the conference on Saturday!!!!

I think that another bet is Riverside Cemetery in Oshkosh. Take a look and I don't think that you'll be dissapointed. You can see my findings on The Oshkosh Grand Ghost.
Esp. at night....there is alot of history to be found on that stretch of land.

I do metal detecting if any body needs help in any kind of crime Ect case, I will search for free no questions asked. I have References of my service wth hunting also!.I just went today and the stories I heard from people I talked to was just fascinating.By a bridge with old rail road and swaying bridge not there anymore near it and where people got killed jumping off..That is sad! It reminds me of the moon landscape because the water is really far back.Over by Central, WI south of Wausua.In Marshfield,
I spoke to a girl who did cult stuff at the Hospital cemetary ..though I don't know if they do that anymore.Marshfield Police are very good and they keep a close eye on the cemetary now and are very good with intervention with cases like these.
It is probably gang related...Thats what this was about...She said they met at an abanded building down town and did their stuff there and then proceeded to the cemetary.I do not believe it happens anymore and that was 4-6 years ago.Maybe this can give some hind site on some procedures if your still wondering.This is all true!By the way! I "Salute "those Men and Women of the Armed Forces and the Police who keep this world safe and serve us in times of need!God keep them safe!

That would be wild at Oshksosh...esp if you searched the trail behind the cemetary.

Where does the trial go? Is it near water where they may be meeting by boat??...To not be noticed...I know peolpe who go to shore to snoop by boat!!!(For other types of doings)... can they drive through or from the back of the cemetary get in? Just wondering.I never been there so I could not imagine what it looks like .But it sounds like they are pretty sneaky with the entry and leaving with their doings.I could use some more 10-43 on this issue. I really dig those smilies!
By the way Has anyone ever seen Buttons on clothing with Eagle type buttons on them and an eagle Surrounded by the words ES-DEVS-SPES- NOSTRA?
They belieive it is a copy of the irrigenal buttons used on the Hesian solder outfits of the civil war..One was found in Michigan, none others of this type have been seen...
On a treasure hunting sight I frequent..In Oregon U.S.A. an police Officer is looking for information on this button for a Homicide they are working on!.....Back sometime this year...If anyone can identifie this button please let me know,Copper colored..looks like a officers Armery button from back then!I will send the information to that site for his information.I believe it was used on long jackets and possibly western wear type blazers.Someone else thought it may have been something worn in gangs...It was a young person so this does make sence.
Ok! thats were the gal who worked with police studying gangs could poss have some infoe?Who spoke on this sight earlier..Thank You again.
By the way It wouldn't be hard for me! if you saw how I metal detect..I am not afraid of mud,Water,steep sides of hills, Sand/Gravel Pits which are one of my fun spots.....woods, any nasty spot you would think could melt your hand,Out house areas,Yes money falls from Well! HE, HE, iiiiiittttttt's true! I did a 60 + acres for my neighbor in 89 degree weather all day not one thing found "Free" But it was fun! and I looked like santa's suite the next day because I never put sun stuff on.... Du! I don't do that anymore .....I use the sun stuff!

Yes, Riverside Cemetery in Oshkosh has definately got odd things about it. I have lived in Oshkosh all my life, and have made many trips to this cemetery. As a previous poster mentioned, the trail by the water is especially active. There are many stories surrounding the cemetery, the main ones being the fact that graves in the oldest part of the cemetery (near the fire station) were transplanted graves from a former cemetery in Oshkosh. This is in fact confirmed, as there was a former cemetery on the present site of Lincoln School in Oshkosh that was decomissioned in the 1860, with the decesed being moved to the new city cemetery, Riverside Cemetery. So the possibility of souls at unrest is possible. Secondly, there was the story of a girl who lived with her family near the site of the present cemetery back in the early 1850's, before the cemetery fully existed. Her father went psychotic and killed her with an ax. She was buried in the cemetery, near the back middle portion. Several people have claimed to hear her cries, and seen an apparation of a yound girl in white, with dark hair and a pale face. I myself have heard the noises on several occasions, but usually only around 10-11 at night. We have taken cameras in there several times, and always the footage is full of orbs and sounds. There are several more areas of interest in Oshkosh that I would be willing to share details about.

All interested, and with any questions, e-mail me at [e-mail]

I live in Menasha and drove past the entrance (those delapitaded gates off of Green Bay rd in Appleton down just past those apartments) to the grave. People at my old high school always refer to it as the Blood Grave or Kate Bloods grave.
