Dartford Cemetery

Wisconsin · United States · Cemetery

Civil War soldiers are seen here, and a Ho-Chunk chief who lived on this lake. His grave is in the cemetery and his death is a matter of record.

Dartford Cemetery sits in the middle of Green Lake, Wisconsin with houses all around it, and it has been reported for a very long time.

What people describe are dark figures and shadows, and sounds.

The figures most often reported fall into two groups: soldiers of the Civil War period, and a Native chief who lived on this lake before the town did.

He was real. Chief Highknocker of the Ho-Chunk is buried in this cemetery. He drowned in Green Lake in 1911 and his funeral was attended by both the Ho-Chunk and the settlers, which was unusual enough at the time to be reported at length.

The Ho-Chunk had been removed from Wisconsin repeatedly by the federal government during the 1800s, and repeatedly walked back.

The cemetery is public and in a residential neighbourhood.
