I returned to Purdy, TN over the weekend and was fortunate enough to meet the owner of the Hurst House and his girlfriend. They are a super cool couple and we had a great time with them. I have tons of pictures to share but I probably won’t post them until tomorrow because there are so many.
I would also like to say this: After seeing the damage that has been done to this house by curious youngsters, it really saddens me. Because of this damage, if you attempt to trespass on this property you will be shot at. Several people have been taken to jail for trespassing. If you are lucky enough to find the owner at the property, ask for a tour but do not trespass on this property. They are attempting to restore this lovely home and vandals are making it very hard to do.
Back to the pictures…
I have some unbelievable pictures but it will take me some time to go through them. I will start adding them tomorrow.

I think the reason why this place has gained so much interest is because one of the graves is far from ordinary. I have been to this place a time or two and it is something interesting to see.
In Hope Hill Cemetery is the grave of a 5 year old girl, Dorothy Marie Harvey, who died in 1931. It is covered by a large doll house that is complete with real windows. Inside it are a few toys and some say you can sometimes see the little girl inside the house playing.
This picture was borrowed from GhostVillage.com:
The person who took the picture claims to be able to see the little girl through the window. All I see is the person’s own reflection. Do you see anything different?
When I visited this cemetery I never saw or heard anything. It is still a great spot to visit because it’s something you don’t see everyday.
