  • Church Street Graveyard, Mobile, Alabama, United states of America (Sometimes called Church Street Cemetery) This graveyard was first established in 1819 as an alternative graveyard to the one in the churchyard at the local Catholic Cathedral. By 1820, it became the city's main graveyard for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The graveyard had not been officially bought from the local landowner, but because of the popularity of the graveyard, William Kennedy gave the city this piece of land. The Graveyard was split into three groups: the Northeast area where they buried the Catholics; the Southeast area where they buried the Protestants; and the remaining land was designated for "Strangers" (people who were not Catholic or Protestant). The graveyard was in operation from 1819 to 1898. Many notable war heroes were buried here including Edmund Gaines and John Cain, the creator of Mardi Gras. The graveyard closed in 1898. The Graveyard is very haunted.
