Pioneers Rest Cemetery - Bandli Graveyard
Canton, WI 54868
Stories say that a man killed his wife and their four children before hanging himself in his barn, which is located next to the graveyard. Another story says that a Satanic cult used the barn for religious rituals at some point in time. And a third story says two boys were playing tag here after dark when a hand reached out of a grave and grabbed one of the boys' ankles. He died of fright. The other boy's body was then found outside the graveyard. Witnesses have claimed to see apparitions here, including that of a little girl sitting in a tree.

Reviews
While I visited this cemetery during the day, as it was my first time going. I had my SB7, and EMF detector. I got out of my car and turned both devices on, the EMF would jump up and stay red (as I’ve never seen it go that high before) and the SB7, would spit out full sentences, sometimes obviously hard to hear. Instantly. Nothing out of the ordinary, and I didn’t see anything in the trees. It was awesome speaking with a few of them. As it got darker, I decided to leave. That weekend, around 12am, I went there with some friends of mine. Had the same devices, and A LOT more activity. We did the Estes method majority of the time. We would visibly see shadows, they told us to look up (some of us were scared to) they were playing hide and seek with us, still nothing in the tress, but we could feel and hear movements around us. It wasn’t windy, and all we could hear was the cows from the farm across the way. Someone from our group took a picture, and it came through the SB7 saying “got em” as an orb was visible in the picture.
Will definitely make more trips to this cemetery, it’s eerie, and calm at the same time.

I had a ghost follow me home from there and has been affecting me. Definitely a serious haunt. Not something to take lightly.
