The cemetery has been the center of many local and national urban legends. For one, it is said that the cemetery ranked in a "Life" magazine article entitled "Top Ten Most Haunted Places in the Country". Some also say that the cemetery is the "Gateway to Hell". Others also claim that a decapitated statue of an angel bleeds from the neck. After researching the subject, the Brunswick Town Historian states that she has never come across the LIFE Magazine article, and thus it has become another legend. The "blood" on the statue also seems to be due to a moss that, when rubbed on a humid day, turns red.
