Canterbury Cemetery

Oregon · USA · Cemetery

Small green lights move among the trees on this hilltop cemetery near Tigard, Oregon, seen from the highway below. They keep their distance.

Canterbury Cemetery is a historic burial ground on top of Canterbury hill in a suburban part of Tigard, Oregon.

What passing motorists on the highway below report is light: small greenish balls moving about among the trees on the hill above them.

The consistent feature of every account is that they keep away. They do not approach anyone and they do not come down. They stay at a distance and move in the trees.

Newer houses and apartments have been built around the cemetery since the 1970s, and the residents have added their own accounts.

Small moving lights over a cemetery on a hill have a well known set of ordinary explanations, from marsh gas to headlights refracted through trees. What is unusual here is the number of independent witnesses, since the site is overlooked by a highway and by a housing development at once.
