This abandoned cemetery near Electra, Texas, could be harboring the mystery of a lifetime. It’s got all the elements of a horror story: a small East Texas town named after a supposed witch who used to live there, a graveyard where her corpse is rumored to lie, and a very spooky history.
Established in 1881, this cemetery is the sole remaining evidence that the town of Ronda ever existed.

The population was a mere 75, and a post office, school, and general store were the only signs of civilization. After the post office was moved to nearby Harold and the school was demolished, people started moving away and Ronda began to dwindle.

Now, back to the cemetery itself - it, and the town as a whole, were supposedly named after a witch who is rumored to be buried here. Legend has it that her spirit can be seen floating above her headstone at night.

There are only about 25 graves overall, consisting of an infant and a World War II veteran and his wife, among others. Although it isn’t a big graveyard, there’s definitely a lot of history here that makes it worth exploring - especially when the possibility of seeing a ghost is on the table.
