I live in a small community in Northwest Ohio. This story is true, as I witnessed this with my own eyes. There is an old, family cemetery located outside of town near where I live, one of those family plots located on the family farm. This family is named Palmer, the graveyard is on Palmer Road, near the intersection of US 33 and Ohio 127. It probably dates back to the early 1800's. Anyway, a lot of people drive out to this place, park their car on the shoulder of the road, and look into the cemetery. What they witness there is something no one seems to be able to explain. The largest tombstone located in this graveyard emits an eerie glow after darkness has set in. I have personally been there and have seen it myself. Believe me, it sends shivers up your spine. When you walk up close to the headstone, you can't really see any glow. Best seen from the berm of the road, this thing seems to just put off a greenish-yellowish light, like it's fluorescent or something. In years past, the county sheriff has been running people out of the area of the road, as neighbors started complaining of the traffic in this rural area. To this day, I have never received any logical explanation. Has anyone else ever heard of anything like this? In Huntington, WV (which is near the Ohio-West Virginia border) there is another similar situation. There is this cemetery on a hill. There's probably 50+ headstones. Anyway if you sit on one of the street corners you can see one of the headstones glowing. But if you go up to the cemetery to find it you can't. We've tried it with two people one on the corner trying to guide the other to the glowing stone in the cemetery. But we still can't find the stone.
