The Dead Children's Playground is a particular haunted segment of the Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, which seems to be very popular among the spirits of children buried in the graveyard. Swings have been seen moving by themselves. shouting and laughter have been heard, and some have even seen the ghosts of children playing late at night. Pictures taken in the area have also been known to turn up ghostly orbs.

Within the cemetery itself there lies an antique rocking chair sitting inside an old crypt. The chair belonged to one of the women buried in the family crypt, and it would appear that she is still using it. Visitors say that if you listen closely when near the crypt you can hear the chair rocking back and forth!

  • Play Ball

    In an evp heard a voice "say take it" right before I took a picture. Had an old tennis ball thrown from the small field down to us by the swings. I thought it was like a pinecone or fruit fall from the tree til noticed there were none of those things on the tree. Had 2 other witnesses who saw it happen as well.

    I went there and when ever me and my friend was walking down the stairs we felt a something at us. Once we got a bit closer we could see two of the swings moving. That day we went it was a sunny humid day but there was no wind.

    My friends and I lived close by and would always go down there to hang out. When we would swing we would always leave the second swing on the right hand side open because it would swing with us and continue long after we were done.

  • Warning, please read

    Went there with two friends at night, immediately felt like I shouldn't be there. They felt the same, as we were leaving I saw a figure of a man, but it was a pitch black shadow. Don't ever go there past the cemetery's open hours

  • Doubtful

    My lady and I decided to have a go and see if this "Dead Children's Playground" was really as haunted as people say it is. Neither of us heard, felt or saw anything out of the ordinary. People say that you have to be there at about 3:00 in the morning to experience anything. The local Police advise against you going there in the middle of the night and warned that you might get a citation. Orbs are not ghosts. Period. My conclusion: It is only haunted by what you take with you.
