Followed From The Graveyard
This is an experience that occurred over several months
In the autumn of 2012 I was home from university one weekend
On the outskirts of my town there is an old graveyard called the Red River Cemetery (in Logan co., Kentucky)
It is very old (the earliest graves are from the 1790s) and associated with an abundance of local history
The Great Revival of 1800 occurred there, the first camp meeting in Christian history
A lot of spiritual activity happened at that event. This cemetery is a regular spot for me
It is a pleasant drive into the fresh country, and the entire graveyard is surrounded by ancient trees
In the back of the cemetery is a reconstruction of a log church that was once there
You feel as if you are going back in time when you go there
It is serenely silent and still, and there is a nostalgia with all the graves and arrangement of trees. In the center of the the cemetery is a separate walled graveyard
It is an elaborate family plot, and the old wall dates to the 1830s
There are many graves in there, and one has sunken in and opened (vandalism or natural occurrence?)
I walked around the plot for a few moments
I had come here many times before, and nothing strange had ever happened
But this time I had an unpleasant feeling
It wasn't very strong, but I felt that I should get out of this plot
I did so and continued to walk around the cemetery. Then it started that night
I mostly had insomnia, but I did drift into sleep eventually--the line between the two is blurred, but I definitely know that I was awake most of the night
In lack of a better term, my mind was tormented
Seemingly out of nowhere, my mind burned with the image of these two particular graves in the back of the walled plot
