Blacks Cemetery is situated in the rural area surrounding New Carlisle, Ohio, in Clark County in southwestern Ohio. The cemetery is positioned approximately 4 miles from the town center, placing it in a more isolated, rural setting characteristic of smaller community burial grounds.
The cemetery contains burial markers and graves spanning multiple generations, representing the community's historical development and family lineages. Like many rural cemeteries in Ohio, the site reflects the local history of settlement, family continuity, and the evolution of burial practices across different time periods.
The cemetery remains accessible to visitors and serves as a community resource for family grave visitation and genealogical research. The isolated location and historical depth have contributed to its identification in paranormal folklore collections.

Phantom voicesApparitionsShadow figures
The paranormal phenomena reported at Blacks Cemetery involve both auditory and visual manifestations concentrated during nighttime hours. The combination of auditory and visual elements suggests either residual haunting activity or accumulated folklore regarding the cemetery site.
Visitors and local residents report hearing disembodied voices when exploring the cemetery at night. The voices have no identifiable source and occur when no living individuals are present to account for the vocalizations. The auditory phenomena are attributed to residual haunting activity or manifestations of deceased individuals associated with the cemetery.
Visual phenomena involve apparitions that appear to be human figures walking among the tombstones and cemetery grounds. Witnesses describe seeing what they interpret as people moving through the cemetery, though upon closer inspection or investigation, the figures disappear or cannot be physically located. The apparitions are described as indistinct shadowy forms rather than clear, detailed apparitions.
The combination of auditory voices and visual figures suggests that the cemetery may represent a confluence of traumatic emotional energy associated with multiple burials and family grief experiences. The isolated rural setting and nighttime atmosphere may enhance the perception and interpretation of ordinary environmental phenomena as paranormal in nature.
