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.
