CommentAt the intersection of Croff Road and Wakefield Road (at Pole PUD 33), take Baker Road (dirt road) leading to the Buck Hill Scout reservation. Walk about 100 feet and the cemetery is on the left. The cemetery is right along side the dirt road. It is built up on two sides with impoundment walls. The other two sides have stone walls. The cemetery is 200 feet from the RI-CT line. The entire cemetery has been vandalized and all the gravestones have been removed. There is only one base left. Local people considered this cemetery to be haunted with a foolish story about Laura's grave. I think in the 1960s and 1970s there were all kinds of rituals there and people removed the stones. 1/2 mile from Buck Hill Rd
