Looks like in Virgina.

Thanks for visiting my site.. I’m gonna look around a bit..

Actually it’s in Bedford, PA. The stones are lined so neatly because they were moved. And no, the graves were not moved with them and indeed no one knows their exact locations anymore. Creepy, eh?

Interesting story with the photo. I have seen few small cemeteries beside the road like that without fences and they always draw my attention. Thanks for visiting today.

Very interesting. Is that an actual home they are sitting in front of?
Thanks for visiting my WW.

Lovely photo, but very sad too.

Way creepy – not knowing where those people are is pretty sad.

There is something so somber and beautiful about cemetaries….

Sad, not creepy… Thanks for the visit!

The home in the background is across the street. This is in a church yard near the County Courthouse. These are the gravestones of some of the original settlers of Fort Bedford before it was the town of Bedford, PA.

Yeah, it is sad, but the stones were preserved along with the history so no one is really forgotten. Someone did take the time to save what they could of an old delapidated cemetery so that’s a good thing. When I said creepy I was thinking of the movie “Poltergeist”. Fortunately there’s been no raising of the dead in Bedford. Thanks for visiting.

Hmmm isn’t it illegal to have coffins buried without markings?
Cemetaries without fences creep me out LOL
Cool picture.

I love them. I enjoy spending hours in them trying to piece together the histories and make supositions on what events happened to families that are buried together. Thanks for visiting.

It would be if they weren’t over two hundred years old. I doubt that much remains of the bodies, if anything, in the moist soil of Bedford, PA. And some of the graves are of the founders of the town too but digging around would be almost impossible if one wanted to try and find and identify the bodies. Thanks for stopping by.

eerie!

*shiver* I LOVE cemeteries!
April 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
Interesting. Depressing too, when you think of all the families hurt by the lives lost.
April 25th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
I’m such a chicken when it comes to places like this. You would never catch me there in the dark!
April 25th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
I think it’s a bit sad seeing old graveyards “dying” like this.
But a great shot and entry

I LOVE cemeteries, so peaceful …
I like reading the markers, and thinking about what the people were like. Thanks for stopping by!
April 25th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
Yeah – Iwas in some really overgrown ones in West Virginia when I was helping my brother research family tree stuff. The good thing about these stones is that someone is trying to preserve them even if the exact location of the graves has been lost. Thanks for stopping in.

Why do people consider cemeteries “creepy?” We’ll all be in one someday! I agree with you – it’s a good thing that they are memorialized, regardless of where the bodies are; it’s too bad they were separated. I wish that cemeteries were still located at churches as in years past. Now that death is sanitized and the cemeteries are all park-like and located on the outskirts of a town or city, they’ve lost their charm.
Thanks for visiting – I like your site…
