MinnesotaHauntedHouses.com reports that there are several stories about an evil doctor who shows himself at Calvary Cemetery as a ghost-devil. There are also additional stories about Hell Road -- a path nearby where animal sacrifices were reportedly performed. When ghost hunters checked out the locations, however, they reported that no such devilish behavior really occurs and that the ghosts that live there just want to be left in peace. Further confirming its notoriety, OnlyInYourState.com also lists Calvary Cemetery as its number one most disturbing cemetery in Minnesota, saying

Calvary is an old cemetery, which is likely why it feels just a little bit creepy. Many of its monuments are imposing and ornate, giving off an almost unapproachable vibe. Couple that with the many trees looming over everything, and it's no wonder this cemetery is a bit disturbing.
