Also, I spent regular time in the Cassadaga/Lake Helen cemetery, and I don't remember ever seeing a stone chair.
There were other stories about that area though, that my friend (who'd lived in Lake Helen all her life) told me, about the flowers that grew in and around the cemetery, and were purple during the day and glowed white at night.
The cemetery had its own ghosts; there was a walled off section with a little boy's grave that attracted one of my dogs, who barked and wagged his tail and obviously wanted to play with the little boy. There was also a cranky old man there who just wanted someone to notice him, and would calm down if you paid your respects. It looked like he'd died young-ish (not for his time period but for ours), and while his wife's name was listed on the double tombstone, she obviously wasn't buried there, which led CoM and I to believe he was upset at being there alone.
My friend's mom was buried there, in the newer part of the cemetery, and that trip was the only time I didn't feel any ghosts within the cemetery boundaries.
