All of my life, I have heard stories about various ghosts
and supernatural happenings in the county I live in, and
being on some wierd ghost story kick, my fiance and I
decided we would purposefully hunt for one: the Glowing
Gravestone.
According to what we had always been told, the stone will
flash or glow every night at all times, whether full moon
or none at all. I'm not certain why it glows, and neither
is anyone else who has seen it.
On August 10, 2003, we decided to ask my fiance's mother
the location of the stone, since she and my fiance had
previously seen it while on the way to pick up a computer.
We hopped in the car and drove to Mash Fork, in Magoffin
County, looking for the barely visibly white picket fence
his mother described... My fiance was paying more attention
to the road than the field and didn't see it, but just as
we passed a smallish field down in a bottom, I saw a bright
flash. My boyfriend found a place to turn around, and we
went back past it again at a slow crawl. We saw the flash
twice more before it finally went out of sight, but it was
weaker this time.
I didn't get the chance to get a closer look at the
headstone for fear of disturbing the people who lived in
the trailers across from the cemetery, but I was still
terribly excited. Though I'd heard of all sorts of things
happening, this was the first time I'd ever seen that at
least one of the stories was true.
