% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
By David Hoes – Although most small towns can claim a haunted building or two, Arcadia, Florida is a focal point for the paranormal. This town of 7,100 residents can even challenge Key West and St. Augustine for the title of “Paranormal Capital” of Florida. Among the local “hot-spots” are:
• A haunted opera house
• A haunted hotel
• A haunted “hanging tree”
• A “rock of love” in a local river. (According to the legend, couples who camp near the rock will get married.)
• A phantom hitchhiker
• The ghost of a boy who appears on a local river
• A mysterious black hearse seen traveling local roads
• A nearby ghost town
• Several haunted residences and antique shops.
• A hill where ghost lights have been seen
• A haunted cemetery
Today’s article will provide some details on the last two phenomena — the Oak Ridge Cemetery and Goat Hill Ghost Lights.
Goat Hill
Just north of town is a small rise locals call Goat Hill. Sadly, the area is on private land and is inaccessible to the public. The road going in has been blocked by a gate and signs are posted letting visitors know they are not welcome. However, a few locals have apparently gained access and have seen the mysterious lights.

I love this stuff, always exciting to me to find out about a new ghostly hotspot somewhere. I have never heard of this place till now. My own little town is pretty haunted and im sure nobody has heard of it. -Mort
