Near Ada Cemetery, Ada, Michigan
Legend states that around the turn of the 20th century murders led to the haunting now known as 'The Ada Witch'.
An unfaithful young woman would meet her lover in the wooded area surrounding the cemetery on 2 Mile Road. One night, the woman's husband, seething with jealousy, followed his wife to her encounter. As the lovers embraced rage overcame the husband and he murdered his cheating wife on the spot. He then turned his attention to her lover. However, the lover was not such an easy kill. They were both evenly matched and died at the spot of their battle.
Today the apparition of the woman is seen in the woods. She is sometimes described as being a beautiful dark haired woman, but others described the apparition as a ghastly looking woman that bore the injuries of her murder. Other activity witnessed includes seeing bluish-green mists and orbs floating near the cemetery.
Hunters in the conservation area have reported footsteps behind them and the sounds of a woman weeping and sometimes bone chilling shrieks. Hunters have also stated that they have felt a tap on their shoulder and upon turning around discovering that no one is there.

My sister died 11 years ago and is buried in the Findly Cemetery. The first time I went to visit her was eeiry, but just a month ago when I went the only thing that I saw was flags blowing . No Wind. My grand-daughter went to jump the fence and she fell off the fence and ripped her pants. I guess that something didn't want her to leave the cemetery that way.
I have been there many, many times now. Never left there without being scared out of my mind. If you go watch out for the cops, they keep an eye on the place cause some people did some destructive things there. The neighbors across the street will call the cops if they see lights/cars being parked. So be sneaky!
yea i was there not long ago n we went to the cemetary for a sec but left n went down to the park and took the trail at about 11 with no lights n after about 10 mins of walking we herd somethings then we herd a loud scream and we all ran
I am doing some research on the Ada Witch, I can debunk part of the legend...The Gravestone that belongs to Sarah McMillen is not the Ada Witch, according to her death record she died from typoid fever, which would make it impossible for her to be the girl in the legend (this is the broken headstone that people believe to be The Ada Witch's Grave)
However I did find one Sarah who is buried there that died from Conjunction to the Brain (Head Truama, most likely tumor) that is the right age...I am looking into her more to see if I can find out any information on her husband (the tumor or injury may of been the result of a strike to the head)
A family friend of ours has told us stories about her before. Not fake ones. Real ones. The one guy is a cowboy and his brother rides too. Them and a couple others were on a trail going to the Ada cemetary. Full moon. The horse just stopped, took a couple steps to the right, watched something go by him as if something walked right next to him, then stepped back over and kept walking. Also, a bunch of people including the two brothers were messin around in the cemetary, peeing in there and what not, the brother said that he started walking toward him through tombstones and he ran and the gates of the cemetary started closing. He was 17 when that happened hasn't gone back since. He's in his 40's now. Crazy.
just went there last night about 1 o'clock in the morning with a couple of friends and while we were driving down 2 mile we started seen a woman peering behind trees while we were driving. when i started to speed up i kept seeing her peering behind a tree up ahead. she kept moving as we were moving. My friend thought he seen her holding a cat at one point. i don't know if its true. but if anything knows anything about her and a cat, let me know. it was a crazy night
Me and my friends went there the other not it was a nice peaceful place. Nothing was that scary about it. we even went to her grave and stood there for 20 minutes.
