The Columbine Lady
The ghost of Masonic Cemetery
According to legend, every April 5th and November 1st a beautiful woman in a black satin dress appears and places columbine flowers on the grave of 28-year-old John Edward Cameron, who is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Central City, Colorado.
Once, 12 people gathered together at Cameron's grave on November 1st to see the ghost. At sunset, she appeared as always. Two men tried to grab her, but she flew off and vanished on a hill not far from the cemetery.
If creepy is, indeed, what you clamor for, mark your calendar for Nov. 1 and head on up to Central City, where, like clockwork, the Lady in Black - believed to be a jilted lover or surviving fiancee of John Edward Cameron, who died at age 28 - visits her lover's grave site, adorning it with flowers. Or for an encore, stop by April 5, when she performs the ritual again.
