Spider Gates Cemetery

Leicester, MA

The small Friends Cemetery became infamous under the nickname Spider Gates because of its former decorative entrance and wild stories claiming it was an entrance to Hell. The cemetery itself is real, peaceful and open to respectful visitors, while the surrounding watershed property is posted against trespassing.
