Steve happened to be driving by the Agua Mansa Cemetery one Saturday afternoon when it was open, so he took the opportunity to visit a place that's been on his long term list for a very long time.
This cemetery is open for very short hours only on certain days, so you have to plan your time carefully. There is also a museum at the cemetery, but it was not open on this day. A lady who works there said the person who runs the museum probably thought it was going to rain so they didn't open it. Another time, perhaps. There is also a private residence that IS occupied (so don't try sneaking in there at night, advice I would give anyway!) and the cemetery is enclosed by tall chain link fences topped by barbed wire.  It almost make you feel like they're trying to keep something IN the cemetery, and in a way they are.

Over the years many of the gravesites have been vandalized, disturbed, broken, headstones stolen, and we find that absolutely shameful. There is no reason for that sort of behavior, and all too often paranormal groups get blamed for this sort of this, and sometimes rightfully so. However most paranormal groups, like ours, are respectful of gravesites and the laws and rules that govern correct behavior and access, and those that aren't do ghost hunt for their jollies, high school kids and the like. This is why we can not stress enough times nor loudly enough to NOT BE A JERK and harm these places!

Steve had the opportunity to speak with a caretaker at this cemetery and let her know that he is a ghost hunter and he expressed his sorrow at the deplorable conditions, all the vandalism, and express apologies for the paranormal community as a whole.

Loved ones do still come here to visit even though the last burial was in 1963, so please be respectful!
