Ebenezer Chapel

So I have had some paranormal experience on this road but I wanted to tell a creepier story with this place. When me and my friend drove down to this place for our second visit we saw a car driving towards Dayton going 5mph. It was very off putting and they sat at the stop sign waiting while we drove past. Eventually we got out and did our thing for about 10 minutes trying to find something when we noticed the car slowly drive past and park alittle ways down the road. I told everyone to get in the car and we left in a hurry and that car picked up speed and chased us immediately. They guy was chasing us at 80-100mph and we saw masked men. Eventually I took some turns and lost them but who know what would’ve happened if we didn’t. Be careful if you go out there. Besides this I’ve heard running around the church and laughing in the woods the place is very legit

My girlfriend and I came to this place at about 10pm. It was an eerie experience but I would not say it is haunted. We took some pictures, stood in the pitch black dark for a few minutes taking in the area and walked all the paths. We then sat in the car for a few minutes with the windows down just hanging out wondering if anything would happen. Thats when we heard what sounded like someone lightly hammering some lumber but there was nothing you could hit a hammer with in the cemetery to make that sound. It sounded like someone pounding a nail into a 2x4. When we left we got a huge whiff of something dead to the point of nausea and it smelled like it was so close that it was on the hood of our car. It smelled that strong for about ten minutes which really baffled us. Would like to go back again.

About 3 weeks ago some friends and I started to look into old cemeteries in the area. We visited Odell during the evening and didn’t get very many eerie vibes, except for in the chapel. We took many photos as we were looking around and took one as we were leaving. It was about 5 o’clock and nice summer evening. In one of the photos we took you can clearly see a man with a beard standing high up probably about 8 feet off the ground, by the entrance to the Cemetery. It is absolutely terrifying and all you can see in the photo once it’s pointed out. So much for not a bad feeling as soon as you see it in the photo you immediately getting a eerie feeling. I’ve showed many people the photo and all reactions are of dread and disbelief of what they are looking at. After we saw the photo the phone had captured we decided to go back to see what it would be like at night. We drove by so slowly and could not even get out of the car we were so terrified. It is a beautiful Cemetery but I would be warned about visiting at night and if you take any pictures make sure to take a good look because you never know who’s watching you.

I found out about this place when I was in high school in Dayton. Years later my husband at the time and I went out to look at it around dusk and we had our son that was about 2 years old with is in the backseat. Anyway we didn't park or anything but drove by fairly slow and took some pictures of the building from the road. And we pulled into the little driveway type spot and turned around and we were taking some pictures from the road again and our son just starts crying and screaming. My husband and I look in the mirrors and there is this what appeared to be about 7 foot tall dark shadowy type figure standing in the middle of the road about 20 feet behind us. Our son starts screaming even more and says "He's coming!!!!! Go!!!!" Which we looked and it started to move so we got the HELL out of there. Later on when I looked through the pictures two of them had a white figure of a woman with long hair standing in the middle window of the chapel. It was around Halloween. During the day the place feels calm and fairly serene but once it starts getting dusky and dark the whole feel of the place changes and it becomes very dark and very spooky.

Dayton is a small town rich in history. The cemetery and chapel are not county owned and you need to ask the owners for permission to wander the property. It is a beautiful spot. Daytonions all know each other and (most of us) respect each other. Do I believe there are spirits wandering there? Yes. Just as I believe there are spirits wandering just about everywhere, if you care to stop and pay attention. There was one in the house I lived in on Webfoot Rd. There was one in the house I lived in on Oak St (both houses in Dayton).

Went there in the day time. Once me and my friends entered the place it felt eerie feeling. It's neat to check out history. We didn't hear anything or see anything out of the blue. We did see a car drive up but we didn't stay long we left when the car pulled up. I would go there again and get better photos for sure.

My team investigated the area and we got some rather interesting things on video. The place is legit and to whomever thinks its not needs to think again. We have a veteran in our group and the communication to him was real. i definitely will be back and hopefully we can get a pass to be there overnight.
