Athens, Georgia

Founded in 1801 as Athens's original public burial ground, this cemetery served the town from roughly 1810 to 1856 with no fee required, drawing a wide cross-section of the early community, including generations of the Conger family — among them Phoebe Tappan Conger, a New Jersey native who died here in 1856. Visitors report cold spots throughout the grounds, strongest around the Conger family plot, along with a persistent feeling of not being alone.
Historic cemetery on the University of Georgia's North Campus, open to the public. Visit quietly and respect the graves.
