First post concerning a location out of state, I figured I'd just put it here. If I continue to check out some more places in Kentucky, I'll probably start an out of state board. This place is really awesome though. The history of the place is pretty crazy, and worth reading into if you have the time. I've never been so on edge being in a cemetery alone before.
Location Name: Eastern Cemetery/Louisville Crematorium
City/Town/County: Louisville, KY
Legend: Too much to list, so I'll just provide the link.

History: Again...

Directions: Located on Baxter Ave. It is the run down cemetery to the left of the infamous and well maintained Cave Hill.
GPS Coordinates:
Photos: Just went here today with moobeat. It wasn't as creepy as the first time I went because it's hard to be spooked at 1PM on a sunny day in a cemetery...until you get to the crematorium/chapel.

EVP/Sound Files:
Misc: I found this warning on the site, I took heed and you would be wise to do the same.
" While I do find this cemetery to be fascinating, I do offer a word of caution. The chapel has been vandalized quite severely, and it is also now a subject of high concentration for the local government due to recent media coverage.
It is patrolled by police, and in the basement of the chapel where the crematorium furnaces are located contain the cities homeless, as you can clearly find makeshift beds there.
As a former employee of a certain hospital that caters to the homeless, I give you this warning - do not go inside. Do not trespass. It can be extremely dangerous to encounter a person who is homeless, possibly intoxicated, or mentally ill. It is also illegal to trespass on private property. You do not want to be fumbling around the basement of the chapel with a flashlight, only to find that a homeless person is sleeping there, could possible be mentally ill, and decides to defend his territory that he/she has claimed. DO NOT GO INSIDE THE CHAPEL! DO NOT TRESPASS!"
