The Apache Death Caves have a history going back to 1878. Raiders of the Apache tribe attacked a Navajo camp nearby. Nearly every Navajo person was killed. Of course, the Navajo took revenge by trapping the Apache inside the cave with a fire. The caves and the surrounding land is believed to be cursed by many. Paranormal activity such as disembodied voices, groans of the dying and phantom footsteps are often heard at this location.

Shoppers have seen apparitions during the day. Employees report seeing apparitions around closing time. This location seems to be consistently paranormally active year after year.

Chestnut Hill Cemetery is the site of an infamous Vampire named Mercy Brown. At least that's what the townsfolk believed. It's said that her grave was dug up and her heart burned.

Other paranormal experiences include being pushed off of the gravesites. Some people also believe her spirit visits terminally ill people in Exeter.
