Staying on the topic of graveyards, I have another one that you guys may want to check out if you are ever over in my neck of the woods. I live down in Galveston County and there is a very old cemetary (I think it began being used in the late 1800's) in the Dickinson/Santa Fe area of Galveston County. I say that because it is right on the border of both. It is a hop skip and a jump from my house and my husband and I just took my kids over there last night to check it out. It is actually located right off of 517 on a road called Cemetary Road. The name of the Cemetary is Evergreen Cemetary. You can actually see pictures of it and hear EVPs on a website called paratexas.com. I will give ya a link too.
Anyways, it is a very secluded cemetary located down a little street off Cemetary road. If you ever want to check it out just take 45 south and exit the 517 Dickinson exit. Take a right onto 517 and you will have to go a few miles (roughly 3). You will see Cemetary road on the left, but keep your eyes peeled because it doesn't have a traffic light and it isnt really easy to see the street sign. After you have turned onto Cemetary you will travel about a mile or so and see a little street on the left with a metal fence and a historical marker sign. That is the street where the cemetary is located. Turn left and go down until you see the old gate. ONe end of the gate is closed and locked, but one end has been broked so you can walk right in. When we went last night the grass was very high, so don't wear your good shoes, ladies and bring some mosquito repellent too! YIKES, i almost got carried off. Anyways, it is right on Dickinson Bayou and that is were the EVP were picked up apparantly. It is hard to tell you are in a cemetary becasue most of the gravemarkers have been destroyed, but there are a few at the very front. There is also a plaque listing all the names of the people that are burried there. Pretty creepy place. I have been there a handful of times, but I have never seen anything. Last night I was going to bring my video camera, but I didn't have any tape. I am going back in a few days hopefully to try again. I will post if I see anything interesting. I also wanna check out the bluelight...sounds ultra creepy!
Oh yeah, heres a link to that sight if you wanna see some pics and hear some EVPs of the cemetary:
