And this is a video you won't want to watch alone or in the dark.Black Hope Cemetery was an African-American burial ground. Former slaves were buried there with the last burial in 1939 and as many as 60 people had been interred there in pauper's graves. The land now known as the Newport Subdivision was originally owned by the Mercer McKinney family who were wealthy land owners, farmers and former slave owners. He owned 5 slaves. When slavery was abolished the McKinney family gave a portion of their land to their former slaves. An entire black community was built on this section of the land with schools, churches, a cemetery, until a fire demolished it. Hastily homes would be erected there post fire which many believe to have caused the hauntings.#texas #haunting #paranormal
