We visited in 2004 and had unexplained things happen.

I visited Bachelor's Grove Cemetery with my husband and my 5 year old son back in 2004 (I think that was the year because my son was about 5).  We knew the history of Bachelor's Grove and I was intrigued, a little apprehensive, and anxious to see "some proof" of ghosts.  It was a cold, dank, grey afternoon.  The 3 of us walked in about 1/4 mile.  We never saw the house, or any ghosts.  We took some pictures, but I never saw anything paranormal in the photos.  After about an hour (or less), we were cold and decided to go back to our rented SUV which was parked across the street in the parking lot.
The SUV we had rented was a Chevy Blazer.  We were visiting my husband's family who lives in Oak Lawn.  We are from the Tampa Bay area.  We rented the SUV to drive up.  So it was from one of the big rental companies near the Tampa Airport.  Anyhow, when we exited the vehicle upon arriving to the cemetery, I am fairly certain we left the doors unlocked.  I was driving.  I didn't hit any funny buttons to set an alarm.  And I remember, when we left the cemetery, I nervously joked to my husband that "At least whatever is in here can't follow us out through the gate!"  But when we got to the SUV in the parking lot, and I opened the driver's door, the horn started to repeatedly BLARE and honk.  I could not stop it.  It would not stop until after I had gotten the car started and in gear.  It was the damndest thing.  We did not set an alarm or even lock the doors, so why was the horn going off???  Anyhow, we were a little shaken up, but whatever..... 2 days later, we drove back home to the Tampa area.  Upon arriving, we kept the SUV in the driveway for about a day or two before returning it.  While we had it, I remember my husband calling me from work.  The connection on the phone was terribly rough static.  It sounded very, very strange.  It scared me.  Like "snow" on the phone, and very crackly.  I told him I had a bad feeling and wanted the SUV returned.  We drove it back to the dealership in Tampa that night.  When we arrived and turned into the parking lot of the dealership, (mind you, this is a huge auto rental dealership), EVERY LIGHT in the dealership went OUT.  The hundreds of "street lights" in the parking area that made it look like daytime even at night all died at the same time.  Their computers in the main front office went down as well.
I can't explain what happened.  I only know that I respectfully asked that if "something" had come back with us, that it please not "haunt" us.  We had no occurrences since, but we never forgot what happened.
I honestly believe, that because I sarcastically joked upon leaving the cemetery that "oh well, at least they can't follow us out of here!" - well, I believe that a spirit did just that.
Oh, we also asked the dealership about the alarm system in the SUV we rented.
There was none.
Thoughts?

My thoughts are that you had something follow you, and the honking car is evidence of that. Last year, I visited the haunted alley in Chicago where Dillinger was shot and died. Lots of negative energy there, and tremendous cold spot. While I was standing with a tour group, two cars began honking repeatedly as if their car alarms had gone off right by the curb. The dog inside one of the cars appeared to be barking at us or some entity. It was not a windy day, and no one touched or went near the cars, so there was no reason for the honking. When I left the spot, the air around me was noticeably warmer. A week later, the entity followed me. I saw a garbage can move by itself inexplicably, inside a building with no wind and no one touching it. The can was empty, no garbage shifted inside it. After that, I ate at a restaurant that was nearly empty. My table was vibrating unexplicably, and none of the other tables around me or the floor was affected--I checked. As soon as I told the presence to depart, the table stopped. Be careful about visiting places like this. These spirits can inflict malevolence on your life if you get too curious.
