Hope Hill
Cemetery is located just outside of Medina, TN - off Hope
Hill Cemetery Road which is off of Hwy 45 South. It is a well-maintained cemetery with
a house in front of the Cemetery. Caution everybody knows
about this one, including the COPS so be careful. The
most poplar grave is that of a young girl who died in
1931 at the age of five. There seems to be controversy over
the cause of her death. Some say she died of normal causes,
some say she was raped and beaten to death by her
uncle and some say the little girl was killed by a piano that
was dropped by the movers her parents hired. We don't know which of these accounts is true, though
if you go to her grave you are suppose to see her talking and
playing with her dolls in her doll house
After the girl was buried, her family
(Uncle or Parents not sure there either) had a dollhouse built
over her grave because it was her favorite place to play. The dollhouse has had to be rebuilt several
times, as vandals have destroyed it, but today it stands and
is well kept by family members. Also it is told that if you
see the light on in the doll house at night she is there
playing and also said that if you step a few steps away and
look into a window of the dollhouse, you can see her inside,
looking back at you. As with any ghost story, there are a
number of variations of the story. It is said that former
caretakers of that cemetery report until the new caretaker built a house at the
end of the drive. The new caretaker now has a gate up and
no one is allowed down the drive from dusk till dawn. (not
sure yet?) Also the story of the light didn't start until
YEARS after the little girl was buried. Due to the excessive amount of partying from
teenagers and sickening graffiti as well as littering, the
former care taker took a light and a car battery and placed it
inside the doll house and would turn it on at night. Also he
repainted the doll house. Since then there has been NO
defacing of the property, littering, or teens out partying in
the graveyard. After the caretaker moved into his new home the
light has been removed.
I would like to note remember the cemetery is closed after 6 PM.
and treat it with as much respect as you'd treat the graves of
your own family cemetery.

Update: Actually several members have checked this
story out by
talking to the town historian in Medina and learned that
Dorothy Marie Harvey was the daughter of a family passing
through Medina on their way up North to find work..
She wasn't raped, there wasn't a piano dropped on her, or
any of that. Her family was passing through here moving up
here, and the little girl got sick
with the measles
and she died. So she was buried here. It's still a heart
wrenchingly sad story, but without the embellishments. There
have been several posts about it in the past, it's worth
checking out.

Trenton , TN - Sleepy Hollow is
a rural stretch of road located in Trenton (Gibson County). Sleepy Hollow Lane is an area where
urban legend tells, if
you pull over to the side of the road and roll down his or her
window and yells "come to me" three times, he or she will see
and hear many, many ghosts. Then your car will not start again
until the morning.
It is not known whether this
legend
is true or not, but the name of the area sure is creepy.
