It was scorched in my mind
I had nightmares (when awake) of these two graves, and never could I get my mind off them
It was something I've never experienced before
The thought and image of these graves blared and blared in my mind, and I felt terrified
I knew I was awake, and I was afraid in my own home, I felt I wasn't alone
I covered myself in the middle of my bed with this torturing thought of these two graves
As the night wore on, the thought or nightmare (I cannot recall which), I had a dream of the people buried there
I remember specifically seeing a man, young but I couldn't tell how young, and his face was a blur
He wore brownish-beige clothes, pre-1850ish style
He may have held pale hair, but I can't recall specifically
He was a little heavy-set; not fat, just big
This image is crystal clear in my mind, and in my torment I knew it was one of the people buried in those graves
This incidence was absolutely dreadful. The next day I was emotionally disturbed
My parents didn't know what to think
If I thought about my experience, I would start to cry
A few odd things happened that can be attributed to coincidence, but nevertheless odd
My dog was barking at nothing
Then the washing machine went crazy and starting moving
The repair man said a part inside had gotten loose
It had never done that nor has it again
Again, this could be coincidence. Eventually I put it out of my mind
It was disturbing, but I couldn't let it get in the way of my studies
So I carried on with my life. Then came the spring of 2013
I became curious again about those graves
I wondered, "Just who are buried in those graves?" I thought if I found out, some sort of mystery would be solved or a question would be answered
So I gathered my courage and went back to the cemetery
I found the two graves--they were there
I wrote down the names but misplaced the exact information, but the individuals were two siblings
There was a Jane, and she passed away when she was 28 and had had 3 children
Her brother's name was Chatham
He died when he was 21 or 22 in the 1810s
They were the children of a Kentucky senator--who is also buried nearby--and the site of their old family home is nearby
Nobody special, and I thought little of it. That very night I woke up at exactly 3:30am
