Burial Hill is a historic cemetery or burying ground located on School Street. It was established in the 17th century, and is the burial site of several Pilgrims, the founding settlers of Plymouth Colony. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
According to a number of sources, a number of apparitions have been sighted within the confines of the cemetery. These include that of James Magee, survivor and Captain of the brigantine General Arnold that ran aground of the coast here in December 1778. There have also been sighting of a Victorian-era couple that stroll around the grave of a child named Ida Lizzie Spear.
Other phenomena include being touched by unseen hands, cold spots and "freeze headaches".
Photgraphic anomalies have allegedly been obtained. However, orbs can be explained as a perfectly normal effect, despite the arguments of some to the contary. Others have claimed unusual EMF readings, but these can also have numerous natural explanations.

The North Street Curiosity Shop is located on North Street, next door to the Spooner House Museum (also allegedly haunted). It is also referred to as the 1725 Captain Taylor House.
According to author Thomas D'Agostino, the building has its fair share of unusual occurences. Figures have been seen only to vanish suddenly, antiques seemingly "come to life" infront of startled witnesses, and objects have been seen moving.
During a visit by Dylan Jones, he visited the property as part of a nightime ghost tour of Plymouth. However, the guide seemed to stir up so much excitement in the group, that they were all successful in frightening each other rather than experiencing anything unusual.

Opened in 1995, Sam Diego’s is located directly on Main Street, in the historic Station One Firehouse. It offers Mexican and Tex-Mex selections, Southwestern specialties, Bar-be-Que, Salads, SAMwiches and SAMburgers. As their website states, its all about “Food, Fun & Fiesta”... and also some ghosts if you believe others!
According to author Darcy H. Lee, the building is haunted, especially the basement. Staff have reported visual and auditory phenomena, including a spectral dog. Glass have been seen to "fly off the hanging racks at the bar" and lights have been seen to flicker.
Although, Dylan Jones did not experience anything unusual during his visit, he did get to enjoy what he regards as the best Mexican meal he has tried so far, so highly recommends it for its food and service.
