Summary

As I continue to roll out these new episodes in the Haunted Cemeteries Series, it never ceases to amaze me just how wrong I was in thinking that there were very few haunted cemeteries. After all, I surmised that spirits would want to be among the living with all of their energy and not hanging out with the dead. I tend toward believing that most graveyard ghosts are residual and perhaps that is why I have managed to find so many of them. On this episode, we are going to explore cemeteries in Erie, Pennsylvania, cemeteries in Iowa, Odd Fellows Rest in New Orleans and Riverside Cemetery in Asheville. Join me on this journey through the history and haunts of these graveyards! The Moment in Oddity features train accidents depicted on gravestones and This Month in History features the first Presidential Library constructed.

1:48.0	Many cemeteries in the Midwest used them because limestone was plentiful and the tradition of stone carving was a fine art.
1:55.2	The trees were meant to look as if a tree stump had been used to mark a grave and symbolize
