Rawmarsh Graveyard (St Marys)

[Mark Smith (Admin)]

Rawmarsh graveyard (St Marys), in Rotherham, is reputedly haunted by the spirit of Ian Ferguson Wilson, a pilot who crashed his aircraft here in 1959. His spirit has been seen walking up the cobbled path and appearing in the church doorway by many locals over the years. There is also a sighting of a black mist that is seen moving around amongst the headstones. At the bottom of the graveyard is some trees. These trees are said to have been used for hanging people many years ago and it is in this area where women often feel like they are getting strangled by unseen forces. The Devil himself is also said to be present in this area at times affecting people in negative ways. Footsteps and sounds of someone running when there is no one around is frequent in the area too.
