Ghosts & Haunts In Missouri
Goatman's Grave Stories

The bus off of T in Rolla is not haunted, to my knowledge at least. This was a home
to a vagrant psychopath whom has long since been arrested. My best advice to you while doing all of these investigations is to be extra careful seeing as how you can
have spirits follow you sometimes which can not always be a good thing. But you
could do a seance to see if there is anything haunting the bus.

I have been out to the location a couple of times myself.  First of all, there is no
Goat Man, that is just one of those urban legends that you will hear about in nearly every state.  The "red eyes" that have been spotted in the remains of the bus are nothing more than old beer bottles and broken glass  refracting light, in actuality, an old hobo used to live in the bus.  The car that  mysteriously appears out of nowhere is actually a man who seems to want to take it upon himself to run people off from the cemetery.  A word of caution, he is  not one to be messed with.  He will shoot first and ask questions later.  I  am not saying there is nothing out there at Pine Hill Cemetery (this is the actual name of the location), there is indeed paranormal activity going on out there.  I have had flashlights fade out on me, my tape recordings seem to have 15 minutes gaps in them for no reason, I also have a photo of one of the grave's where a spirit can be seen standing by it. There are several graves in this cemetery that are covered in limestone.  These graves are the resting places of those who were executed in witch craft trials in the late 18th and early 19th century, as well as those people from their descendent's who are rumored to be witches as well.  This place definitely is haunted as almost any cemetery  is, but I can assure you, there is no Goat Man.

I have also been to this location, and am very surprised to find descriptions of it on the web!  I have seen the lime stone covered graves and the eerie bus that sits along the County Road.  I have had friends tell me that they've seen weird things, bright lights, really dark shadows in the night.  Flashlights going out on them, things following them as they were making a break to get their butts outa there!  If anyone is remotely close, I recommend going for yourself.  Very creepy and spooky.  A good time to be had : )

I have lived in St. James all my life and my school bus would go down spook hollow road everyday. Both my parents and I mow Pine Hill Cemetery {where all the "spooky" stuff happens) its at the end of Co Rd 3450 in St. James but you can also get to it from Rolla, but the best way is to go from St. James, you will be able to see the hill were the pyramid was and this creepy cabin in the woods with a concrete wall in front of it, and the school but and tractor trailer that someone turned into a house, and then eventually to the cemetery.

My name is Nicholas and I am from Rolla.  I just wanted to let you know that Goat-man's grave is a dangerous place.  Not because of the rumors of haunting, but because the locals that live around this place feel that it is amusing to run people of the road, and at times, shoot at those going to Goat-man's.  So, to all those people who feel the need to investigate Goat-man's, be very, very careful.
Be Safe!

My friend and I made it to the bus. We stopped and pulled over, rolled down our window long enough to just take a picture. It was quite creepy for being 10:30-11:00 at night so we left. As for paranormal activities, i didn't seem to notice any, but i wasn't doing a stake out either. I will be sure to send the picture of the bus when i get them developed.
