Timber Ridge Cemetery

First, this fabricated tale infuriates me for many reasons as you read below. Over (20) of my family members have been laid to rest at Timber Ridge.
In 1930's My 2nd great uncle bought several plots for the family. One of those plots is very special. My grandpa's precious (10) year old ittle sister was laid to rest after she was brutally murdered in Tulsa. Yet, fabricated tales cause more visitors when she & others should be able to rest peacefully.
The story of a little indian boy struck/killed on his bike & buried near front gate of Timber Ridge Cemetery is a fabricated/nvented" tale, to increase profits on a book of haunted places. As a result of fabricated tales many grave markers were damaged along with the front entrance gate & handmade signs by people wanting to seek a paranormal experience.
Authors Ellen Robson, Dianne Halicki and Richard Southall finally confirmed the book on Route 66 Hauntings, the specific story of a little cherokee indian boy struck by a car on his bike was invented to boost sales and public interest in the haunted locations. Sadly, this led to vandalism.
As families, we should be able to honor our deceased ancestors peacefully and they shouldn't be used as mockery to make money.

Only thing that was slightly scary was all the unusual amount of deer. The way they just stood there and stared at you wasn't normal. Me and a buddy of mine stepped out of the car and even yelled at them. The deer just looked at us almost like they were human.

There is no truth to any of the above statements. Many of our family members have been laid to rest at Timber Ridge. We've always received the upmost courtesy, competence, and compassion since early 1900's.
Honestly, it's a disgrace to all family members who've been laid to rest at Timber Ridge. As a paralegal, there's a law that protects the rights of a deceased person. One section of the article refers to "disturbing the final resting place of the deceased."
Lastly, the native boy you're referring to was not hit while riding a bicycle in 1989. He was on a motorcycle and the accident took place (8) miles from Timber Ridge Cemetery.

The story of the Indian boy has been confirmed as an "invented" story by the original author of a book on Route 66 Haunted Places in an effort to increase interest in the published book. In other words . . . to profit from book sales!
The unfortunate consequences has been damage and destruction of grave markers and damage to gates and signage from people seeking "a paranormal experience". This is a private cemetery located on private property and is maintained only by donations and minimal burial fees. Because of the damages from trespassers, mainly after dark, the cemetery has to remain locked and secured at all times. And any person that enters outside of daylight hours will be considered trespassing and may be subject to arrest and prosecution.

In many years of going there. I have seen or heard of nothing. Going there is a bad joke and a wast of time. This is privet property it is not worth the trespassing fines and being arrested. This is a cemetery where my family is buried. Have respect.

This is ridiculous. I have been going there for over 50 years due to family being buried there. None of the haunted stories are true. I have never seen or heard of anything. To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of God.

The cemetery is not a playground. Have respest

I've been there a couple of times and never been shot. I did however see a strange creature that appeared like a hog with broken legs. It terrifies me to this day. I've also seen the floating lights. To the person who left the "you will be shot" comment. You probably shouldn't shoot because it's probably kids having a little spooky season fun and you'd have way more trouble with murder charges than kids being in the cemetery for two minutes

my family owns it and the stories are not true and you will get shot if you trespass since IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY
