Comment on Children’s Graveyard – Followup and History by Trevor

This place is haunted STAY AWAY!!!! Me and my friends decided to go and check this place out late one night, between 11:45 and 2:00 am. We went three separate times because of things we had heard and seen each time. The last two times we sat in our car, turned off every light, and sat in the darkness. On both accounts there was an eerie white light that would move throughout the woods. On the first occasion it came within 10-15 feet away from our car. On the first encounter, several of us were out walking this graveyard, creeped out of our minds (of course), and our other friend stayed in the vehicle. She saw the aforementioned light come very close to where the car was, and to where we were walking throughout the woods. We at first didn’t believe this, so we went back a second and third time, and each time we saw it start at the back right corner of the graveyard, and slowly but steadily made its way towards the middle of the graveyard. What we saw this night was DEFINITELY NOT HUMAN!!! As interesting as this place was to visit, i will never EVER return in darkness nor in light.

I’ve heard “nifty fifty” applied to both Canon and Nikon 50mm lenses.

Dwight – still not sure I would want to eat, or even catch anything from that lake.

As for the space behind the student center and dining hall, they do plan to leave that manicured, as far as I know.

Hmm. Now that I’ve looked at the Furman website, I wonder if they’ll let me put a canoe in the water when the native sunfish and bass have grown to catchable size. (I assume they’ll have fish in there)

Tell me the lakeshore behind the student center and dining hall will still be lawn. . . .

It’ll be interesting to watch Furman manage this meadow area. Often areas left “natural” near a lake or in the open will soon get small trees (usually scrub trees like sweet gum or black gum) that grow and become impenetrable thickets. Now, thickets are good – wildlife love them, as well as little kids playing “war.” But they can become jungle in our lush Southern setting.
