Baldwin Cemetery

Bladwin Cemetery is located in Vernon, Indiana within the Crosley Fish and Wildlife Area. This cemetery includes many old graves, some just oddly shaped rocks sticking out of the ground, but is still in use today.

History
The cemetery is that it was named for the family of Ebenezer Baldwin, who built Tunnel Mill. Located a short walk from the cemetery, Tunnel Mill was built in 1824. You can learn more about Tunnel Mill here.

Folklore
Probably one of Jennings County’s most famous cemeteries, as it is connected to the legend of a young women named Mary. She was raped and murdered one late night while her sister was out. She was buried in Bladwin and, supposedly, haunts the cemetery. You can hear her cries and see her, still wearing a blood stained white gown. This story is told during the Vernon Ghost Walk every October and you can read more about it at the Hoosier Paranormal Research’s website. (You can also see HPR’s investigations of Baldwin here.)
