About This Blog


This blog contains my thoughts, ramblings, photos, and whatever else I can come up with regarding the topics of both paranormal research and urban exploration(UE).

Comments are moderated. There's a reason for that. Most comments will be posted, even if they're in disagreement with something I've written. Comments that are completely out of control because something came across to you as though I was insulting your mom won't be posted.

As fair warning, there will be coarse language here and there, and possibly in a few other places as well. You never know.

Riverside Cemetery: McNeil plot

There were all kinds of over-the-top markers and the like in this cemetery, but this one was all sorts of fascinating. I should have taken more pictures of it because the level of detail was really cool, plus the thing had to have been insanely expensive (like so many of the markers here).

McNeil family plot:

Pretty sure this was just a 'ma & pa' grave, and the carving on the front was of 'ma'. I would have sworn I took pictures of the writing on either side of the carving, but I don't appear to have any. Maybe my camera is haunted.

Does this scream "cemetery" or what?

Actually, if it had been screaming, I might have been too.

This is what was on the other side:

Where can I find me some granite like this?! Holy schist! Or something like that.

I will guide thee with mine eye...

I'll do it, just you wait and see.

Dear children we will meet again...

And shake hands, I guess.

Some parting words from Ma:

There weren't, IIRC, any parting words from Pa, though.

So there was that. And a hell of a lot more similar to it. This place was far more interesting than the Littleton Cemetery, which is why I'm putting these up before the rest of those. I mean, the only thing interesting there was that silly old cannibal, and c'mon, outrageous markers and names and statuary just blow that right out of the water.

    Interesting tomb stones Alex. Do you try for EVP
    at any of these places?

      That's actually something I've got planned, just haven't done it yet. I have a different location in mind to start with, because of a previous occurrence that happened there, though I still need to test out my recorder and make sure it'll really function as I need it to. Maybe at some point I can try at one of these larger locations, but places such as Riverside are damn near tourist attractions, and I think that might cause some issues when it comes to recording anything. :\

    Well I guess Pa wasn't looking forward to being stuck with Ma in Heaven for eternity!

    That part about "And shake hands, apparently" was pretty funny.

    If anything happens to me, please let it be known I want a statue that screams. I like the idea of scaring the piss out of the public for eternity. That...will be my legacy.
