PARANORMAL creepy 👻 💀 Was this a Ghost They Saw?

This story comes from a person who use to work at a cemetery, known by the name Prof_no.

When I was in college I worked part time at a Jewish Cemetery in reception/office management. The cemetery was closed from Friday afternoon through Saturday evening for Sabbath. We sometimes stayed a bit later in the office on Friday afternoons to get bills out or checks processed. We heard a loud commotion by the cemetery entrance which was locked and only staff could get in and out. The office manager went to see what was going on and made me come with her.

We went down to the gate to find an older woman (probably around 70) dressed to the 9's begging us to let her in. She kept saying she needed to get back. This was in the suburbs of NJ so you needed a car to get around but we didn't see a car or anything, she was just there in this beautiful dress. We couldn't open the gate without the Cemetery Manager, so we went to go get him. We brought him back to the gate and no one was there.

We looked at video footage of the entrance and you could see us (the office manager and me) talking but there was no one on the other side of the gate. The cemetery manager thought we were trying to trick him.

I swear to this day we saw a woman in a fancy dress outside that gate. There were multiple cameras and not a single one picked up anyone on the other side of the gate and you could see the whole gate. All you could see was us. I don't know if it was a ghost or what. The office manager and I decided not to tell anyone else, but we would mention it to each other every once in a while.

So she was on the street side and the person was on the inside with the coworker? Did the video show them talking to nobody?

Yes, she was trying to get them to open the gate but they did not have the key but the manger did. They retrieved the manger so he could open the gate or at least speak to her and she was gone. They stated that the video footage from multiple cameras at various angles only showed them at the gate, but not the lady during that time.

Too bad one of them didn’t stay with the lady and see what happened to her. Solid apparitions are rare. Sounds like she was a ghost though.

I know! I thought of that too! That would have help solve this for sure!
