Nameless not a friendly place

Rating:

Comments:

I would have ranked this area higher but the Manager of this area is not friendly to strangers. I have visited this site and enjoyed checking out the pioneer cemetary and reading the historical markers. But was told by one of the "Land Managers" who are the LTEEA, that they "don't care to have strangers lurking around the area" and that they only welcome people who have a specific purpose, for being there, on the premises. Such as decorating a grave or attending a meeting in the old school house. Otherwise you're not welcome.

Ghosts In The Graveyard: Texas Cemetery Tales
Olyve Abbott
List Price: $18.95 Our price: $6.10

Legends of abandoned old graveyards and some not so abandoned abound-the crying dog in the cemetary well, the wandering ghost of Long Tom March, who carries a deck of cards and won't rest until he finds a winning poker hand. Next to a graveyard where an arm is buried, the old piano in the fogotten church plays. These and other tales along with some more recent real-life experiences will intrigue you, skeptic or not.
Read the tales with an open mind. They are for pleasure, a bit of paranormal, a little seriousness, and hopefully a laugh or two. If you are a nonbeliever in the supernatural, you may change your skepticism is etched in stone. Then again the author learned that nothing is etched in stone forever.
This humorous book also includes some unusual coffins, tombstones, and epitaphs as well as some early Texas burial traditions.
