Long Cemetery in Frankford, Delaware is known for the legend of the Catman, a former caretaker with cat-like features who is said to guard the graveyard even after his death. He is rumored to scare away teenagers who party there, and if you knock three times on the back brick wall, his spirit is believed to cause your car to stall, trapping you in his domain. The legend may stem from a real-life caretaker named Babe Gum, who worked to restore and protect the cemetery in the mid-20th century, but the supernatural elements of the Catman story remain a persistent urban legend. The Catman was a cemetery caretaker with feline features who continued his duty to the graveyard after his death. His spirit is said to deter teenagers from partying at the cemetery. A common ritual involves knocking three times on the brick wall at the back of the cemetery, supposedly prompting the Catman to sabotage visitors' cars, preventing them from leaving. Some versions of the legend suggest the Catman is buried in an above-ground tomb located in the center of the cemetery. The cemetery itself is described as a haunting and disrepair, with crumbling tombstones and overgrown vegetation.
