This cemetery on Upson Road dates to the late 18th century, when it served the local Seventh Day Baptist congregation. Local legend attributes its "Green Lady" haunting to Elisabeth Palmiter, a Seventh Day Baptist who drowned in a nearby swamp in 1800 while searching for her husband Benjamin, who had stayed in town to wait out a snowstorm; he found her body himself, still dressed in green. Visitors report a green mist that takes on the shape of a woman, seen along the dirt road running past the cemetery.
Small colonial cemetery on Upson Road, also called the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery. Visit in daylight only, walk quietly around the graves, and do not touch or rub the stones.
