The Witch's Grave - Skiatook, Oklahoma
Today we checked out a local hotspot on the outskirts of Skiatook called the "Witch’s Grave". The grave, in Hillside Mission Cemetery, is one of the more interesting legends in our little corner of Oklahoma. We found the grave pretty easily by using information borrowed from fellow investigator Bo Luellen's website, who had been there before.
As for the legend itself (according to information gleaned from multiple sites), the witch, who was very devoted to her husband, kept his body at their house after he passed away. There she used multiple spells in an attempt to bring him back to life. Learning of this, the townsfolk tried several times to rebury his body, but each time his wife would dig him back up and take him back home. Finally they resorted to covering his coffin with concrete to keep the witch from recovering the body. Legend says that she still haunts his grave to this day, with shrieks, screams, footsteps and thrown rocks all reported. It has also been said that she carved Samuel 12:23 on his concrete tomb as a way to return him to his living form.
Samuel 12:23 reads:
"But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."
