The Mary Wright Cemetery, also known as the Granny Sprague Cemetery, in Homestead, Iowa, is a site of local legend, not necessarily documented hauntings, centering on the young ghost of Mary Wright, a pioneer girl who died of an unknown illness in 1854. While some local lore suggests her restless spirit can be seen as a blue aura over her grave on Halloween night, the legend is primarily sustained by the story of her being the only person not moved when railroad tracks were laid nearby, though the actual circumstances are debated. The grave itself is well-maintained by descendants and locals, with flowers and a doll left as tokens of remembrance, indicating a deep community respect for the site. The primary ghost story involves Mary Wright, a six-year-old girl who was left by her pioneer parents and died of an unknown illness around 1854. A specific legend claims that Mary's restless spirit can be seen as a blue aura above her grave on Halloween night at midnight. A key part of the tale is that when railroad workers laid tracks, they moved all the bodies from the cemetery except for Mary's. This detail is debated by locals, with some asserting the original story was different. The grave of Mary Wright is not abandoned but is actively cared for by the community and her descendants, who leave coins, flowers, and a doll as tokens of respect. A bench has even been placed at the site, indicating that it is not a place of fear but a spot of veneration and remembrance.
