    Mount Hope Cemetery

    BangorUnited States1834–present

    Established in 1834, Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor, Maine, is the second-oldest rural garden cemetery in the United States. Spanning 300 acres of tranquil, rolling hills, scenic ponds, and historic monuments, this iconic burial ground served as a primary literary inspiration for horror author Stephen King — who famously filmed scenes for his 1989 movie adaptation of Pet Sematary here — and is renowned across New England for reports of shadowy apparitions, mysterious glowing lights, and disembodied voices.
