Green Lady Cemetery or Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery lies tucked away on an otherwise abandoned road in almost the middle of nowhere. I say almost, because down the road a couple miles there is a random 7-11. Apparently, in Burlington the necessity of street lights is trumped by the necessity of Slurpees.
The road is used for nothing more than a turn around, or through-street to an old warehouse in the clearing on the other side – one cantankerous reader of this blog has informed me ever so kindly that this road was used to get to the town dump. Chances are, if you didn’t know there was a cemetery there beforehand, you may drive right passed. The cemetery has been so vandalized that most of the graves are tiny hunks of stone sticking out of the ground. Cracked, mutilated and forgotten, they stand on a lonely little hill behind a dilapidated stone wall.
Unlike the grounds, the myth of the Green Lady and her cemetery is thriving.
The graveyard is said to be haunted by a woman named Elizabeth, who drowned in the nearby swamp, and is identified as a green mist in the middle of the road. Her gravestone is in the cemetery, but the names on the gravestones are have worn away over time.
Natives of Burlington also speak of Elizabeth’s home, a long forgotten cabin on a road nearby. I have not been able to find this structure, unless stories mean the cabin at the beginning of the road – however, that appears to be in great shape and does not fit the story’s description. The Cabin on question is said to emit an eerie light the windows and house a ghostly looking woman. The woman inside is said to also be the Green Lady spirit.
I have never seen the infamous “green mist”, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had my fair share of frights on the grounds of the Green Lady cemetery.
In the summer of 2012 a group of friends joined Dean and I on an expedition to the old cemetery to see what all the fuss was about. We arrived around 11 pm. It was a warm summer night, and all seemed pretty quiet. We got out of our cars and began to walk around the cemetery silently hoping something would happen. After an hour a member of our group became frustrated with the lack of activity and started taunting the spirits.
Dean and I don’t believe it is safe or ethical to taunt spirits. The spirit said to reside there was once a living being and should be respected as such.
After a few minutes of “taunting” from our friend, I began to feel uneasy and we decided we would go back to the cars and rest a little bit. I was sitting in the front seat of my car when my friend asked for me to join her in the back seat so that she could show me some of the pictures she had taken. I got up and out of the car and went and sat in the back seat, leaving the car door open. Suddenly, the car door slammed on me. It slammed so hard that I was thrown into my friend who was slightly annoyed until she realized I had been pushed. The door then closed on me again, sending me further into my friend and closed completely. It was amidst our screaming that we noticed my rear view mirror had been turned sideways despite both of us being in the back of the car.
The angle the car was on the hill would have made the door difficult to close on it’s own. The vehicle was facing downhill with the hood of the car pointing down the hill. The car door had to have been physically pushed closed with force – The first time closing on my leg, unable to close fully.
Upon getting ready to leave, we stayed for a few minutes to talk to the passengers of the other vehicle. While I discussed directions with the other driver, we both heard a blood-curdling scream come from the woods. This is a pretty wooded area, on a road that doesn’t have many houses. The scream we heard was definitely female, and loud. We took the scream a cue to leave, we fear we may have angered the spirits with our friend’s taunting.
Do I think Green Lady Cemetery of Burlington, CT is haunted?
The Green Lady Cemetery possesses energies and spirits that are not of our living world. Venture at your own risk, the spirits and local police seem to not take so kindly to visitors after dark. We have included some photos at the top of this post of our investigation that contains unexplained orb and light phenomenon.
Haunted World 
I beileve the green lady I have seen her she Is scary
I lived in Burlington ct for 19 years , and yes there is/was a cabin in the woods close to the cemetery , I have also seen the mist people talk about , no I will not go there on a dark night
I’ve heard the screams and know which stone is hers
I have seen the mist come across the road and cover the road and seen Elizabeth in the middle of the road in here green dress. When this thing started walking towards our truck we didn’t know what else to do so we drove right into it looked back and it was gone. I live in Burlington and the house is still there tucked back in the woods you have to go through a fairly deep swamp to get to it. I didn’t go out looking for this house and I only remember the general area of it but its there.
Looking at the photo of the “stonewall/entrance” to the cemetery, I was immediately drawn to the faces, mostly sad/scared, in the rocks, the image in the tree trunk, and what looks like a dog of sorts in the rocks to the right of the tree.. It very much intrigued me.
I’ve been there before, during the day. I haven’t noticed anything. like to go back at night.
Went there with friends a night before the death on the tomb stone back like 6years ago. They were smoking so I ventured off with my other friend and was scanning the area and talking with a group of young people that were hanging out with a recording device. Anyway, it was a clear night, and a creepy drive, the way the trees kind of block the moon on the way in, and after a few pictures, I took a “selfie” behind Elizabeth’s grave. After the picture was taken is when I got creeped out, my head was covered in a green mist! In the background of our other pictures, the mist was there too. Again, clear, non foggy type of night, mist was only visible through the pictures. But to all this, I say that there is obviously ghosts and things, the same way there is Jesus and angelic spirits. I am thankful I have Him to guide and protect me, and I don’t go looking for these kind of “highs” anymore, because you can be consumed and really dark things happen when you mess around with this stuff. God is greater! (:
When I was about 15 years old me and few friends went up there during the day and got the shit scared out of us. We took pictures, and in those pictures are large black “objects” on the ground that we don’t remember seeing, and there’s definitely a few blurry parts in the pictures that I guess could be made out to be something. We also found this brick cabin type thing. I’m not sure if its what you’re talking about but it was old and creppy.
I still have these pictures if you’re interested and would be more than happy to share them. I will never forget that afternoon.
The story I heard every year when I was a youngster & camper there (over 30+ years ago) visiting the camp down the road (Camp Shade aka Fresh Air Camp) for 9 consecutive summers was that her house was so cold one winter that she was found in the basement wrapped and covered in green army type blankets, which happened to be the type of blankets they used for the cots for the campers. This is why she was known as the green lady to us. And yes, there is a cabin far back in the woods adjacent to the cemetery. We would visit there as campers and spend the night out there, at least 20 kids and 6 or 7 adults. I still visit there frequently for the memories I’ve had.
Great place and a nice high rock to jump off into the stream a little past the cemetary.
i lived in the house at the end of the road right next to camp chase in 2010-2014 and I never heard or saw paranormal activity. I am though glad that I don’t live their any more! 😅 but I would be afraid to fall asleep at night
There was never a “grand entranceway”, since the main reason for the road was for access to the Burlington town dump/landfill, which was closed in the 80’s. D+ for shoddy research.
This sentence was never meant to imply there ever was one, just if someone were expecting such they would not find it. A+ for being a jerk for absolutely no reason on the internet!
