Hankey Church Cemetery is really haunted. I have been there a total of 4 times and will never go back. The first two times nothing happened. As for the 3rd time, me and my friend Kristen went to the movies to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose. After the movies was over I said hey lets go to a haunted place, I told her the background of the place from what Ive read and told her nothing has happened to me though but she said shed go anyways for fun. Well when we got there, there the gate was closed. When we went in there was palm everywhere and its wasnt anywhere close to being palm sunday (catholics you know what I mean) so I think someone tried to bless the place. Me and Kristen looked around, when we went to the back of the cemetery there are some small graves and when I bent down to look at one a strange vibrating sound was right next to my ear and is was loud and sounded like a pager went off. I jumped and screamed. Then Kristen said to me What was that? and I said you heard it too?! and I asked her if she had her pager on her and she said no and I told her neither do I. We then just ruled it out as a bug even though it was too cold to be a bug but whatever. We walked to the other side of the cemetery and then we heard the vibrating sound again and we looked at each other and decided to leave. Its sound sounded electronic and you could tell it was in mid air and it was the same thing that was next to my ear just minutes before. We left and went home. Next day I had a baby shower to go to. When I came my mother asked me if I wanted to go to my grams with her and I said no I'm too tired. So she left and I layed down in bed. Next thing I know, I hear that vibrating sound again right next to me in mid air. I kept my eyes closed because I was afraid to look. I turned over on my side, pulled the covers over my head and ignored it. When my mom came home later I told her about it. She didnt think much of it. Then a week later she said to me, "Oh by the way I forgot to tell you, I heard that vibrating sound you were talking about." I said really and asked what happened. She said she got out of the tub, blow dried her hair and started fixing it then all the sudden she hear a vibrating sound just like a page like I said in mid air. I asked her if she was scarred and she said no and that she laughed because she couldnt believe she actually heard it.

As for my 4th and FINAL trip this was just recently. I went with my friend Brian and John who was in an episode of paranormal state and knows a decent bit about spiritual activity. We went to the cemetery and he brough his franks box and ovulus. It was picking up words such as mother, remember, fell, parish, church, I am Seth, Laila, momma, sorry, John, smile, smells, Brian, etc..  A lot of it at that time was repetitive. When John tried it it didnt say that much for him so he gave it back to me and it would chatter away to me saying words. I had a few short conversations but didnt think much of it. After a while I said lets go across the street where the church was. So we went over there, the ovulus was saying to me church, priest, boys, burn, cross, sorry, hot and kept repeating them. When I gave it to Brian it didnt say much to him at all and he gave it back to me then it said to me I am light I remember you. Seth demon run Seth demon. then I didnt get nothing. Then it said I am Seth. I said "Seth, I dont want to talk to you because I just heard you were a demon and I dont want to talk to a demon" The ovulus then said "You bitch" and I said "I'm what?!" and it said "You slut" and i ripped the ear piece outta my ears and felt instantly nauseated like I was goin to throw up then handed the device to John and said I'm gonna puke and he grabbed his holy water and put it on me and it went away.  Now the ovulus has a 500 word vocabulary that its only supposed to be able to say. Bitch, slut, mother, Seth, John, etc are not on the list. My friend John has checked with others and have not had this problem with it saying words on the list that werent there and believe whatever or whoever this Seth guy was definatly paranormal which got through and was definately negative energy. After being cussed out by a ghost and then about to puke. I will NEVER AGAIN set foot in that cemetery or be around it. Anyone if you choose to go there, please be protected and take the proper precautions that if you are faced with something that you wont bring it back with you or it wont attack you.

I would love to go out with you guys and the ovilus to the old cemetary!

Hankey Church

To get to the site of old Hankey Church, cross Route 286 and follow Logans Ferry Road north one mile, then turn right onto Hankey Church Road.  The cemetery with the white picket fence is on your right; the original log cabin and subsequently expanded church building was located in the grassy clearing across the road directly opposite the cemetery gate.  Through the gate and up the slope only a few yards are the graves of Daniel (1776 – 1828) and Catherine Best (177? – 1821) Hankey, nestled under a sprawling
bush.  There are also three Revolutionary War soldiers buried nearby:  Conrad Ludwig (1736 – 1833), Daniel Carpenter (1749 – 1827), and Capt. William Morris (dates unknown).

The Hankey farm (also spelled “Henke” in the original German) is now Rolling Hills Golf Course.  The location of the original homestead, located near the white farmhouse, is just barely visible from the back of the cemetery.

Sadly, the proud old church building that served Christ’s for a century caught fire under suspicious circumstances and was destroyed in August 1973.

me and my two friends will never forget ouur time at hankey church.

I live right by here. in fact i walk pass it everyday when my family takes walks.nothing stange ever happen to me. theres only alot of teenagers who hang out threre especially on halloween but something stange happen to my dad when he was in highskool. my dad has lived there his whole life. one night he went over his friends house to hang out. his friends lived 7 minutes away from hankey church road. my dad friends were driving him back home because my dad was to young to drive. as they were going past the graveyard there is a turn before u pass it. there is alot of animals that jump out at this turn there is also a few large trees at the turn on the side were the church was. while my dad and his friends were turning on turn in the car and leaning on one of the trees there was a very tall man in a black long trench coat and a black top hat  looking at them. he was also white. like i mean his skin was just plain white like the color of milk. my dad and his friends were so scared. my family believes it had something to do with the tree stump grave stone which is said to be the most haunted thing there. my dad to this day still doesnt no if it was ghost or an alive person and my dad usually doesnt believe in stuff like that. i do beliebe it is a haunted place so i would be causious if u go there. there has also been stories of the gravestones in the back that belong to some young children that i have heard. 

Watch out, police patrol here.  Take a camera and take pictures if u believe in orbs they are there.  Drew, i bet ull read this before i tell u.  Ha ha, mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmm

I was just at the cemetary and I knew Melvan Ritter. Steve and Andrea who live at Hanky Church farm till the mid 70's or later. They went to Murrysville Franklin School, I went to Plum school in the the late 60's. Does anyone know where some of the locals went. We should all meet and go to the cemetary. This place wasn't haunted back then. There was a guy named Chikie that had a big mule that lived in the house at the church back then. They were German and there was may children that played in the cemetary. Andrea had a couple of horses at Hanky Church farm and would ride the horse everywhere in the area of the church and farm. Not haunted!

Hi,

I remember when the church was there and the large white farm house and a gargae on the corner turn. You can still see the foundation of the imprint of the single garage made of concrete block on the corner turn. weeeee it is sure fun at night when the wind and cols spirits whine. Yes I saw many strange things from living in the area. One night I was parking with my girlfriend and someone ran from the trunk,  top and over the hood. I didn't see anything after, but this really happened. I never park in the lot past the road on the left again. The little lot is where it happened. There was an outside toilet on the left near the road Beighly and wild dogs lived there. scary...
