While out and about in Centre County, I came across a small
cemetery outside the town of Moshannon. Askey cemetery is a small unassuming
cemetery; however, it has a haunting reputation. Many years ago a car accident
took place near the cemetery and a young man died. It is said that the young
man that lost his life haunts the perimeter of the cemetery. Another tale tells
of a coal miner who was hung in the cemetery for spying on the mine bosses. The
cemetery also holds stories of weird things happening like strange lights,
sounds and shadows. An old man in a gardener’s outfit and a young girl who died
in a fire has also been seen in the cemetery. One of the weirdest accounts is
of a demonic deer that chases off intruders late at night.
During the day, the cemetery is a peaceful and quiet
and was a great place to stop and take a walk during my adventures through
Centre County. Please be respectful of the cemetery and it’s interments if you
decided to visit. The Cemetery is east from Moshannon following Route 144 on
the left.
