Oakwood Cemetery

Locals call it Hell's Gate. A young bride died on her wedding day and was buried in her dress — and she's been seen wandering this Spartanburg cemetery ever since.

Oakwood Cemetery in Spartanburg, considered one of the most actively haunted places in South Carolina, has earned the nickname "Hell's Gate" among locals. The cemetery's most famous ghost is the Lady in White -- a young woman who died on her wedding day and was buried in her wedding dress. Her figure has been seen walking among the graves in a flowing white gown, particularly on moonlit nights. Investigators report an unusually high concentration of activity here: temperature drops appear without warning, camera and phone batteries drain fast, and children's laughter echoes from sections where young ones are buried. Visitors have photographed plumes of smoke and fog with no obvious source, and many feel intensely watched. A young boy's voice has been heard asking to play near the children's section.
