In the woods of Leicester, MA, there lies a nightmarish graveyard with gates that resemble spiders (not really though?). Also included is a tree for hangings and a satanic altar. It's frequently referred to as the 8th gate to hell. And if hell isn't your thing, some folks believe there is a second, spectral graveyard that you can only see one time ever. And of course, there's a spirit or 2 there as well. Chug some holy water and put on a fresh pair of underwear. We're discussing the Spider Gates Cemetery. Welcome to Ghost Binkers.
