Floating Coffins, Floyd County, Kentucky

My wife's grandmother lives up in a hollow in Floyd County. She lives on a farm which has an old coal mine and it's own graveyard. She has looked out the windows of her house and seen very strange things, such as a coffin floating across the ground of the graveyard. Strange things have happen, such as the potatos planted in the garden turning into stone. This place is very strange and unsetteling. Sort of the kind of place where strange is normal. You never know what you might see, or think you see. I think it's important to realize the Appalachian mountains are the oldest in the world. Who know what has happened there over the thousands of years they have existed.

A Waking Experience, Floyd County, Kentucky

When my mother-in-law was young she went to a wake with her mother. One of the neighbor ladies had died. Going to the neighbor's house required crossing a creek. On the way back from the wake, it had gotten late and dark. Her mother lit a match so they could see to cross the creek. The match jumped out of her hand and they saw a form. It was of the deceased neighbor.

I've heard several haint tales from the mountains in Eastern Kentucky. I will include some of them in my blog. I thought this one was particular interesting.

Maysville Cemetery, Mason County, Kentucky

On 9-5-09, we visited the Maysville Cemetery in Mason County, Kentucky. We were doing a daytime site exploration and found some things we had never seen. I have several family members buried there, but I had never been to the old part of the cemetery. Some graves as old as the early 1800's. Here are a few pics we took. No paranormal issues to report, but we didn't breakout all the gear, just a digital camera to document land marks.
