My mom was out in her yard yesterday and she went back in the woods to pick up some dead tree branches and she stumbled upon a tombstone. The crazy thing is that it is a marble, professionally engraved stone with a man's name and the dates 1905-1977. That's just 2 years before my parent's built the house on the property. It creeps me out to think that my bedroom as a child was just feet from a dead guy! I don't know. They are going to call the county and have someone come out to decide what to do with it. They will probably end up excavating the area and it might just end up that some kids stole the headstone and thought it would be funny to bury it there. But, either way, it's kinda creepy.

i thought this was going to be a post about tripping over a decapitated body or something. anyway, a few years me and some friends stumbled upon a grave like that in the middle of nowhere, except, there was the tombstone that was just carved into metal or something, and the big mound of dirt where the body was, it turned out to be a really young girl. it was quite creepy.

well, as a child there really wouldnt have been a dead guy. there would be decomposing (if not totally decomposed already) human remains though!

I think the idea of excavating the dead guy is creepier than just leaving him there. Maybe that's just me though.

Well, you might be right Kim, but my parents are thinking about selling in the near future. Would you want to buy property that comes equipt with its own dead guy? Plus, it (he?) could potentially get into the water system and contaminate it.

ew gross.. I didnt even think about the water contamination!

I wonder why no one noticed the dead guy before your house was built there.. or why no one who knew told the house contractors and stuff.

I would just move the headstone and say "fuck it." Sell the house and be done with the dead guy...

Haven't you guys seen movies like poltergeist or read any King book?

In poltergeist (3 I think) they're digging a swimming pool in what used to be a cemetery !!
That gave them a lot of troubles !
And dealing with ghosts isn't easy. You can't sue a ghost (or can you ?)

Yeah perhaps you are just a twisted soul mike.

Anyways, thats pretty crazy finding a random grave...
Isn't it weird though, that in all those years, no one came to visit him? i mean obviously someone knows he is buried there...
I guess he doesn't have any family or something.

if it really just was some kids that moved a grave stone, then the family wouldn't know where it was...meaning they couldn't come to visit.
