I live in Lawrence and there is a small town of Stull, Kansas, a few miles from here.
In the early 20th century, Stull suffered through two tragedies. A young boy was found burned to death after his father had finished burning a field and a man was found hanging from a tree after going missing.
The cemetery located in Stull has gained an amount of dubious recognition due to various urban legends referring to the Devil, the occult, and as being a supposed gateway to Hell.
[3] The old Evangelical Church, built in 1867, was torn down in March 2002.
[4] Local police have discouraged curiosity seekers from entering the cemetery, especially on
Halloween, and some people have been arrested for trespassing there.

Urge Overkill released "Stull EP" in 1992 which features the church and a tombstone from the cemetery on the cover. The legends also form the plot in the film
Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal. The cemetery is also the site of the final confrontation of the
Apocalypse in
season five of the television series
Supernatural
