    Hillside Cemetery - Can't wait to return...as a visitor, not permanently

    Hillside Cemetery

    (2 reviews)

    I second Heather M.'s review from 2010; Hillside Cemetery is rife with spiritual activity. As a…read morenascent paranormal investigator, I visit spiritually active places around the nation (typically ones off the beaten path) and conduct ITC (instrumental trans-communication) research using a variety of devices and apps. I happened upon Hillside Cemetery on a recent road trip to Colorado. Old cemeteries tend to elicit fewer responses, but I felt drawn to this beautiful burial ground and its ornate, weathered tombstones. At the very least, I wanted an excuse to breathe in the crisp mountain air and admire the scenery. After introducing myself to any spirits who might have been present, I launched my Spiritus app and began listening for disembodied voices. About thirty minutes passed with nothing conclusive, just random, unaltered phonetic sounds. As I approached a shaded area towards the top of the hill, however, I began hearing clear, undebunkable names, words, and phrases. The name "May" came through several times. I walked a few steps up the hill and happened upon a grave belonging to May Rickard, an "unfortunate girl" who passed away in 1899. I asked, "May Rickard, if that's you, can you tell me what happened?" I then heard "overdose...suicide." Her tombstone validated these words; she had apparently died of alcoholism and morphine. Before I could ask a followup question, another female voice added "hooker." I glanced to my right and saw Minnie Morgan's grave. On her tombstone was the same epitaph: "An Unfortunate Girl" but with the word "prostitute" in parentheses. I then realized that all graves in this section bore the same euphemistic epitaph. As I was preparing to leave, I wished May and Minnie farewell and heard what I consider to be a desperate plea: "No...don't...help!" I realized at this point that I was perhaps the first person to communicate with these poor souls in over a century. Even if you are skeptical of the paranormal, this cemetery is worth a visit. You will learn much about Silverton's storied past.

    An old mining town cemetery has got to be full of ghosts, and the Hillside Cemetery in Silverton…read moredoes not disappoint in the spooky factor. The cemetery is in a beautiful spot on a hill that overlooks the town of Silverton in the valley below, and the surrounding mountains. It's also provides great insight to the history of the town and surrounding area. I would suggest going during the day to walk around and read the information boards and tombstones, and maybe taking a picnic lunch. I would also suggest returning at night to do a ghost walk. I would also suggest wearing a diaper, in case you do run into an old miner's ghost and can't control your bladder.This place runs pretty high on my "Pee Your Pants" scale.
