The old Montrose church mysteriously burned down during the 1800's and was then rebuilt and renamed Mount Hope Church. That burned down or was moved a lot later(no evidence of the church stands now). The graveyard was in such
disrepair that they put a collective marker outside of it. Then, during
the 50's or 60's there was supposedly a huge black man that took
children up there to murder them. Witnesses report hearing them
screaming and crying and see a huge black shape, a pair of red eyes,
& a little boy wearing a gray "ante-bellum" outfit standing behind
one of the only tombstones left there (Joseph is the name on the
stone). The area has become a place for people to trash and vandalize,
and a place for late night drinking. Very sad really.
