James Dean's Grave (Park Cemetery)

James Dean, raised in Fairmount after his mother's death, is buried in the town's Park Cemetery beneath a headstone that isn't the original — the first was stolen from the grave and never recovered, and a replacement has since been stolen and restored more than once. Fans still travel to Fairmount year-round, and the town holds an annual festival in his honor. Visitors have reported the smell of cigarette smoke near an old sycamore by the grave, sometimes with a small, unexplained point of fire that vanishes when approached, along with a sense of being watched or gently touched around midnight.
