The man's identity could come from one of a few stories. One tells of a groundskeeper who is said to have killed his family with an axe and then hanged himself on the roadside. This story would hinge upon the existence of a groundskeeper and cottage on the site which doesn't have any historical basis. Another story is incredibly vague but describes a man who stole a horse and was hung by a mob. This is the most interesting of the cemetery stories.
Many visitors state that they see a white house floating in the distance.
When the house is approached it just vanishes before their eyes. The odd thing is how many of the witnesses, seeing the house at different times, have submitted drawings of the house that match. A Victorian two story house with a porch and swing, even displaying draperies. The supposed location of this floating house varies with its witnesses. Every self respecting haunted cemetery has a woman in white who is seen mourning her loss.
