Oakwood Cemetery, Cannonsburg Road

Michigan · USA · Manor

Drivers coming home from Grand Rapids in the 1980s described a woman standing at the corner of Brewer and Cannonsburg with no coat on, in weather that.

Oakwood Cemetery stands at the corner of Cannonsburg and Brewer roads in Kent County, Michigan. Until recently the old Brewer family estate stood just to the west of it. Further west again is a long stretch of Grand River Valley land that was once the lumber town of Austerlitz.

There is a great deal of forgotten and paved over history along that road.

In the 1980s, motorists driving home from Grand Rapids at night began describing a woman standing at the corner of Brewer and Cannonsburg. What everybody noticed, and what everybody mentions first, is that she wore no coat, in weather that made that impossible.

A figure inappropriately dressed for the conditions is one of the oldest and most consistent features of roadside apparition accounts, and it is usually the detail that makes a driver slow down rather than pass by.

The cemetery is on the corner. The lumber town is gone. What the drivers were describing was standing between them.
