Cemetery Mountain
Munford, AL 36268
With a name like Cemetery Mountain it should be no surprise that these scattered graves are rumored to host some ghosts and ghouls. Local tales include the existence of an old abandoned church on the mountain, containing a pedestal bearing a single book; the book can be lifted off the pedestal, but as it is carried toward the church door it gradually becomes heavier to the point that it must be dropped and left behind. The book is said to be the devil's bible and the church is said to host satanic rituals. There have also been reports of glowing red eyes appearing about one foot off the ground, and of an old man looking for his lost dog. Both the dog and the man appear normal at first, but when those who see them turn their heads the dog and man suddenly vanish. These stories may simply be urban legends, but the smattering of tiny cemeteries covered in overgrowth make for a creepy setting in their own right.
Reviews
I grew up in Munford, AL. The church everyone is talking about is not on Cemetery Mountain, it is on Twin Churches Road, behind the "new" church.
My uncle lived in a house on Cemetery Mountain that was used as a civil war hospital. When it stormed you could see a soldier standing in the picture window of his house. I took my grandmother to visit them one time and she would not go back in that house. She said she could feel everyone still there that is no longer living. Also, I have seen the boy on the bicycle. He is there one minute and gone the next. Remember seeing him multiple times as a kid when we were going across the mountain to see family on the other side.

So, me and my friend went to the UMC on the hill, went inside and saw the so called “Devil’s Bible” and didn’t even recognize it. Literally read some of Corinthians and it appeared normal. Didn’t test if the book got heavier, we don’t want to disturb anything as we didn’t wanna take anything home that was unwelcome. The whole idea behind the satanic practice is just superstition, it’s a relatively normal church with no signs of anything negative at work.
It just felt like the normal kind of abandoned building, we only searched the lower level (Main area and the two rooms on both sides of the entrance).
All in all, it was fun to get outta the house with a friend and we’re planning on going back to that area sometime soon with another friend to truly test some of the rumors.

I’ve been going to this mountain for the past 3 years. The story with the man and the dog is true. Witch? True. The church? We haven’t found it, still looking for it after all this time, but there are physical beings in those woods. I’ve come face to face with humanoid creatures that are fast enough to keep up with a 2000 Chevy Blazer going roughly 50MPH down the mountain. Friends and I have seen things, heard, been touched. There is a lot on that mountain. I’m not sure if there are any instances where there have been stories on a Wendigo like creature in those woods, but I have come face to face with something I can only describe as such. I’ll leave my email if you’d like to message me about some of the stories I have of this place. Would not recommend to people who are just looking for a spook because it is dangerous. If you want a spook, look for the elementary school near by in Munford.

There was this night me and my friends went out, we where young and stupid. We brought our 4-wheelers, and a few beers, and drank a little. We sat on a tomb, a few actually, and laughed the night away. Then, this native American on a stallion warns us . "it is not safe." His voice echoed throughout the entire graveyard, it was husk with a Cree accent. He led us back to our 4 wheelers, and waved to us goodbye. We where driving out, worried. When we where, we heard something following us. I don't know what it is but it scared all of us, all 6'4 bulky men. We where basically peeing our pants at the sound of rustles in the very woods. We never looked back, in fear of what there would be. After that, I hear constant whispers behind me.

For anyone looking for the church, it’s called twin churches. It’s close to cemetery mountain but not technically on it. You’ll see a large white church that looks normal however behind it on a hill in the woods (visible during the day through the trees) there’s an exact replica of the same church. This is because the original owners abandoned it and rebuilt the church a few yards away and continue to use that church to this day. The abandoned church behind it is the one everyone talks about. It’s on a road in munford, at the end of the road is the church and there’s a left you can take to get to Oxford.

So we all decided it would be cool to take a ride up to this church my friend told us about okay cool we got out looked around nothing bad , then we turned towards 2 trees when we heard the leaves shaking when we did we saw something black hit the ground then it stood up 7ft tall and just watched us the whole time well we turned the other way and then back towards the trees and bam it was gone, so we walked towards the cemetery and I felt like someone was trying to grab my hand then tug on my shirt . I didn’t say anything to anyone with us. Then we got out of there
