    Part 2 of the wildly overgrown cemetery we explored and documented. This part 2 is by far my favorite of the 2 videos of this cemetery. Piecing back together that broken stone was pretty amazing.

      Most of these are Christian burials. As for evil spirits, trust me, these days they are everywhere, and likely you will find them at your neighbors before you will find them in that cemetery. But if you walk in the Lord and ask him to take care of binding up the evil, then you do not walk in fear. Christ goes before me, stands behind me, and surrounds me to protect me. He does that for all who believe. I know this for a fact as I have crazy neighbors who practice voodoo and there are also Satanist. I do not walk in fear for I have a powerful God and Savior, and they know this. It is God who protects us, and God who receives all the thanks and praise. Be wise, but don’t walk in fear. Take care.

    That new camera was a fine investment! Great picture AND sound!
    Excellent cemetery explore! Lots of folks born in the early 1800s... considering those graves are almost 200 years old now, they were surprisingly easy to read.
    ...and I'm equally impressed that, throughout all that digging and brush/leaf removal, no snakes were found. Two thumbs up for that!!! :-)
