The Staten Chapel Cemetery is located in a rural section of Mason  County, near Hannan.   The abandoned wooden chapel has a sign above its  store signifying that  it was built in 1918, but the adjoining cemetery  is apparently still receiving burials.
I learned of this location  through my other passion, which is geocaching, as there is a geocache  located nearby on the property.  Here's an excerpt from my own ghostly  experience at Staten Chapel Cemetery:
I think my nephew and I had a paranormal experience...at any rate, it was somewhat touching, lol.We  were approaching the cache area, and were about 20ft away, according to  the GPS. My nephew was slightly behind me, when a slight breeze picked  up and I heard my nephew make a noise. I turned around to see what was  up. Apparently, he had been smacked in the face with a small,  hand-written note that had been blowing in the breeze. The note, which  was addressed to a "Gracie," was a note from her mom or grandma Sherry,  saying she loved and missed her, or something to that affect. 
Since  we figured it probably blew off a grave, my nephew decided he was going  to go find Grace's grave, and return the note, while I finished  searching for the cache. As he ran off to look for her grave, I looked  down at the GPS. What had previously said 20ft pointing in the direction  of the cache, now said GZ was 70 feet BEHIND me...back towards the  cemetery.
Thinking  there was definitely something wrong, and that the breeze must have  messed up the GPS by blowing in additional cloud cover, I sat down,  prepared to turn the device off, then on again to recalibrate. Then it  kinda hit me...I followed the arrow back up towards the graves...and the  GPS zeroed out at a certain grave...Grace's...an infant who died about  two years ago.
Since my experience, several other people  have come forward with their own experiences.  It seems there is a  distinct atmosphere to the place, and more than one person has been  slightly creeped out while visiting.
