Batavia’s original cemetery was plotted along the northern banks of the Tonawanda Creek in 1806. Residents soon realized that the creek would regularly flood, making the cemetery inaccessible; in 1823 it was decided that a new cemetery would be established further from the water and all the existing bodies would be exhumed and relocated. Some believe that the town left a few bodies behind, however, as there have been reports of ghosts in the area. A woman dressed all in gray has been seen numerous times along the north bank where the old West Main Street Cemetery used to be situated.
