Gilson Road Cemetery Haunting
Gilson Road Cemetery, Nashua NH – The rumors: Everything from glowing lights near the cemetery, a woman wearing a white dress in the cemetery and on Gilson Rd, a baby wandering around, screaming noises, EMF spikes, ghostly images, strange fog that rolls in out of nowhere, people being pushed, you name it.
One fact we do know is there is a child’s grave with a perfectly round hole in it that clearly happened after the stone was engraved. Looking at the engraving, it is perfectly done, not something that could have been done with that hole in it. The text on the stone reads:
In Memory of
Walter Gilson,
son of
Mr. Joseph & Mrs.
Lucy Gilson
who died
August 28th. 1811
aged 5. years, 8.
months 25. days.
Some sources claim the hole is nothing more than a PhotoShop trick, it is definitely NOT that! We were there ourselves, the hole is 100% real.
Some say it was due to a lack of money so the stone must have had a hole in it prior to the engraving, also not true! Just look at the hole and the engraving surrounding it.
The hole in the gravestone has its own set of rumors, from a portal to the after world, a bullet hole, a clue of some kind in an old puzzle to find some sort of treasure at another location (unknown location). We are not sure what the real cause of the hole is but it is definitely very weird.
The cemetery has gotten some notoriety as being one of the most haunted cemeteries in the US.
An extremely credible source who doesn’t want to be identified told me he saw a man dressed in old 1800’s clothes sitting on the stone wall staring at him as he drove by. When he stopped about 300 feet down the road and turned around, the man was gone. He had no explanation for the sighting of this man but said this:
“it was one of the scariest things I ever saw. I was just driving by not thinking about anything, just listening to the radio, something just caught my eye so I looked over at the cemetery and there he was. There was no way the man could have walked, or even ran that fast to not be seen by the time I drove back. Paranormal is not something I believe in but I have to be honest, this really freaked me out and I will never forget it!”
We visited Gilson Rd Cemetery a few times and can’t say we saw anything that really proves the cemetery is haunted, but there was an incredible amount of fog in the immediate area as rumored and it did feel like we were not wanted there, but that may be due to the cemetery’s just plain eerie feeling.
On one of our late 1980’s trips there were decided to bring a Ouija board, big mistake! Not because something happened but because it opened our senses to everything, and creeped us out to the point we had to leave.
At the very least, Gilson Rd Cemetery is definitely creepy!

Super creepy, I definitely had a friend get attacked in this cemetery in 2005.. I remember him going off kicking the door of an old shed type building, being purposely disrespectful.. and when he came back he said his back was burning, frantically asked me to check. I watched the drag marks appear out of nowhere. The adult chaperone we were with insisted something was in the van with us, she jumped out yelling “get out! Get out!” We were so scared, she said a child was trying to come home with us. She smudged us all before we left.
Looks pretty run down. Got no indication that this place is haunted. No very creepy just kind of sad how derelict it is. No offense to people leaving little gifts but I makes it look like people have thrown trash all over the place. Pick a pretty rock, some people leave coins which is nice. Seriously no ghost is going to take that matchbox car out of the package.
There is definitely some form of energy there, on night i took a drive over and set up my rempod near the enterence in front of two headstones with the name Fisk, my rempod started going off and what followed was a big round orb came out if the ground and shot into the sky, it drained my battery

I am a Gilson from Alabama and I found this very interesting.
I assure everyone this cemetery is haunted. I’ve been doing necromancy in it for years, and it has attributes most people couldn’t imagine. After all these years I cannot decide if the centerpiece is the Skadegamutc that haunts the place, or the dark nexus of power in the woods behind the Western wall where many Nashua were slaughtered centuries ago. It still feels like one is walking through bloody mud. I suspect that the dark nexus predates the slaughter, and it fed upon it.
This was a place of dark power where a shady Nashua sorcerer was employed by warriors to give them eerie powers. He would fill them with demons, and send them on their way. With is death, the dark Nashua sorcerer became a Skadegamutc. Normies should take caution at night.
