About this listen

This week, we’re digging into the ghostly remains of Livermore, PA's cemetery. Despite popular belief, Livermore Cemetery was not featured in Night of the Living Dead, but its eerie reputation is enough to rival any horror set. Founded in 1827 and incorporated in 1865, Livermore was wiped off the map, either by flood or demolition to make way for a dam—depending on which legend you believe. All that remains is the cemetery, perched on a hill above what used to be the town. And according to visitors, it’s far from quiet. We explore strange tales of phantom touches, paranormal resistance, and a cemetery said to exist in its own weather pattern—calm when the world around it rages. Some even say a witch’s curse doomed the town, predicting a flood that eerily aligned with a real disaster in 1889. Is Livermore a forgotten piece of Pennsylvania history… or a place where time, space, and the spirits of the past still linger?
