The spookiest things just can't be made up.
Friday spouse and I revisited Spring Forest Cemetery in Binghamton, New York. Besides looking for fall foliage (which we did find), we were looking for two gravesites - one for David Ireland, a Union Civil War hero of the Battle of Gettysburg from Scotland who married into a prominent Binghamton family who, tragically, did not survive the war. The other site, where many victims of the tragic Binghamton Clothing Company Fire of July 22, 1913 are buried, is a monument to one of Binghamton's most tragic events.
I didn't find either gravesite.
But, as we drove around the cemetery, this song came on: Marilyn Manson and "Don't Chase the Dead". The video is just perfect to start off a week where some will be celebrating Halloween.
Now, why did that song come on while we drove around the cemetery?
It was a bit spooky. Was I being given a hint?
...I'd love to visit when out of town visiting is possible.
ReplyDeleteSadly, one thing I did find at the cemetery is a number of gravestones that have been knocked over - sad to see something like that.
DeleteThe cemetery sounds cool, it’s a shame you didn’t find what you were looking for
ReplyDeleteTombstone is interesting and what design is put on them. I saw one with a fishbowl with fish in it.
ReplyDeleteI guess you need to do more preparing for finding the gravesites. Is there someplace that lists where they are?
