I don’t know if your anything like me, but this is the season that creates the desire to visit old forgotten graveyards. Ever since I can remember, there was something so compelling about this, that I just had to do it. When I was in Elementary School in Lexington, Ohio, I had a field trip where our homework was to make a chalk grave rubbing on paper. I never forgot the name, William McKinley.
I just recently took a little trip to this cemetery and shot some pictures. Much to my dismay, my camera’s memory card was full, and I was left empty-handed, or had I thought. I then realized that my cell phone was good for more than just a jabbering device, so I went to work. Lexington’s cometary is very old, it has some great gravestones that date back to the 1820’s with Revolutionary War Veterans buried. The cemetery is well-kept. During my shoot I was the only person there, with the exception of an elderly lady who was sitting in her car for a while in the back of side of the property. It wasn’t long before she left, I was then alone. I took quite a few pictures of the fine stones that fill this cemeteries grounds. Toward the end of my shoot, a mini van had pulled in, however, I was pretty much done, and proceeded to leave.
Later that evening I uploaded the pictures to my computer and was looking over each of them, and found the strangest thing. A figure of a man walking with his hands behind his back. There was nobody there, and I never shoot a picture at a graveyard with someone alive in it. Although, I know there was nobody there, the skeptics may say I probably wasn’t paying attention and caught someone in the picture. That’s fine, I don’t really care to know what others opinions are, but knowing what I feel is enough for me. I have the picture posted here for you to see. I will also have it on Flickr because it is hard to see what I’m talking about on the blog here. Decide for yourself.
Spirits walking the earth after their lives passing is a very controversial subject. I believe it’s true, but many refuse to believe what they don’t understand or have not witnessed. I don’t believe they are here to do harm, but just lost between dimensions feeling like they have not finished an important task.
