Also known as Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Dumpling Hill Cemetery is located just outside of Paris, TN, to the east of Henry, TN in rural Henry County and it has it's reputation as being haunted as most cemeteries.

The story is said to have been a slave supposedly committed some kind of crime. As it's not sure as to what crime was committed, however it didn't really matter. Justice was virtually nonexistent for African-Americans in the U.S. during the early to mid-1800s. After being sentenced for his "crime," the slave was punished in the same way most convicted African-Americans were: he was hanged. After being hanged, his body was buried in Dumpling Hill Cemetery. If anyone knows the man's name e-mail us!

People now because of the slave that was hung it is said that the ghost of this man now walks the graveyard at night, and will chase away any visitor after dark. Several people have reported being startled away. So stay away from Dumpling Hill Cemetery after dark, or you might see something you don't want to see!
