Haunted Sioux Falls Episode 7 Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Welcome to Haunted Sioux Falls, I’m your host, John Small. On this episode, we head to the cemetery... a spooky place no matter who you are! Mount Pleasant Cemetery is one of Sioux Falls’ oldest burial grounds. Within it stands the Josephine Glidden Memorial Chapel, a 1924 Gothic structure built of stone. By day, it’s quiet and solemn. By night, it’s another story. Visitors claim to hear organ music drifting from the chapel—even when it’s locked and empty. Some have seen glowing figures walking among the gravestones. Others describe an oppressive silence, as if the air itself is listening. One chilling tale tells of a caretaker who spotted lights inside the chapel. When he entered, the room was dark and deserted. Yet the scent of candle smoke lingered. Is it the spirits of those buried nearby? Or the imagination of those unsettled by death’s presence? Whatever the cause, Mount Pleasant reminds us that cemeteries are not always as silent as they seem. Have you experienced something strange or spooky in the Sioux Falls area? Please reach out.
