The Unknown Cemetery is Moore Cemetery and was recently named a historical site. Clean-up efforts are underway, and many have volunteered since it was featured in a local newspaper. This cemetery is closely monitored by law enforcement and is off limits after dark. The caretaker lives in front of the cemetery and will ensure this is enforced. (I warn you…if you attempt to enter the cemetery after dark, you are trespassing and the caretaker is armed.) The coffin above ground? The remains contained in the unearthed coffin are being placed back in its rightful place.
If you are interested in the history of the cemetery, visit during the daytime and drive slowly along the road. The cemetery can only be accessed via the driveway of the caretaker and there are small children living there.
***Update: Some pictures have disappeared from this site. Don’t fret! The site is not being shut down. I simply had to clear some space out on the server hosting the pics. I am trying to find a place to put them for your enjoyment.
Hm..sounds interesting! But why would you live there with small children..or children period..?
Sweetie, they don’t live “in” the cemetery. It is behind their house.
I have visited many cemetaries over the years. I mostly found them to be peaceful places with a sort of sadness as a side thing. You families who had all nine children die within days of being born. Or little Ruby who was three. Someone leaves toys for her to this day though she died in the 1930′s. A friend of the family many years ago took care of a large cemetary in Ohio. Their four children would talk about their experiences with those who walked the planes of the living. They didnt seem scared or fearful of them. Perhaps those ghosts were just happy for some company. I dont know. I dont think children living near or on a cemetary is really a bad thing. Maybe adults fear what questions a cemetary might bring up rather then who still walks this plane. Just a thought is.
