CEMETERIES- "A GIRLS BEST FRIEND"

Dark, Creepy and full of dead people.......what else could a girl ask for??? Right? LOL  Ok...I guess that's not EVERY girls dream but for me....IT IS!!!!  I LOVE CEMETERIES!!!  As far back as I can remember, if you wanted a good scare...you headed to a cemetery.  With all the legends of ghosts, vampires, witches, monsters, demons....you name it......you can find them ALL in a cemetery?

Why is that??? Why are we so fascinated with death??? And why is it that when people die, then we still can't let them go....all of the sudden there are stories and legends of the people buried in the cemeteries!

Now, let's be honest, most spirits are tired to a place because of a tragic death, or a horrific event that they died suddenly.....these kinds of events DON'T happen in cemeteries, so WHY would spirits be so active in a cemetery?  Ghosts who haunt cemeteries seem to be a different "type" than you would find in a haunted house.  Now, I don't mean.... one rattles chains and one doesn't.  It seems that ghosts that haunt cemeteries are seeking eternal rest at the spot where their physical bodies lie.  We have all heard of spirits that have risen from the dead for one reason for another and continue to roam freely in the cemeteries....looking for what?........peace.....resolution.......in some cases.....revenge of another......who really knows.  The mystery remains as to WHY we immortalize death with stones and markers.  Is it REALLY for the dead.....of course..... it is out of respect to those who have lost their lives and to help those left behind heal.  But, then why do we continue to want to see them live on as a spirit?  I don't think there is really a solid answer to this question....just because.

One thing that intrigues me is PORTALS or DOORWAYS in cemeteries.  The theory behind this phenomena is that spirits can come and go in between worlds....what I call spirit world and the NOW world.  It has been said that there are portals or doorways all over the world where spirits can come and go as they wish.  But wouldn't you agree.....that a cemetery would be a great place for one?  So many spirits in one place that could come and go freely?  Far-fetched?  Maybe. But the spirits that have been seen, heard, photographed and reported in cemeteries may have something to them.  It has been suggested that portals are crossing points of sacred earth energy lines of temples, churches, stone circles and burial sites.  At this particular spot is where a portal or doorway maybe located.
                                                                                            
Here's the deal...whatever the reason.....and yes I do understand that there are some "ghost hunters" that would disagree with me a 100 % BUT......whatever the reason, I can honestly say, some of MY BEST experiences have been in a cemetery.  I do believe however, that of all the cemeteries I have visited ONLY one  do I truly believe to have found a PORTAL  or DOORWAY to the "other side".  Of course I'm going to tell you the name of it......DRY CREEK, in Terrell, Tx.  I'm not going into great detail about my experience there, you can read about it under the archives (left side of blog)session of my blog under 2013. 

Before I stop for the day I DO want to say one thing.........if you are in a cemetery.....roaming around....looking for the deep, dark secrets that it holds.....BE RESPECTFUL!!!!!  Regardless of the reason you are there....this is a place that our loved ones, strangers and even some "not so nice" folks call "home".  Act as if you are a guest in their home, would you please?  And don't forget your manners....please and thank you. :) And if you come to a conclusion that I need to know about......drop me a line at becksghosthunters@yahoo.com!  I LOVE hearing your stories.

FLORA COLEMAN ANNIS-DIED AUG. 23, 1892 HELP ME TELL THIS LOVELY SPIRIT'S STORY

A couple of months ago I posted several pictures from Roswell, GA of a very bright PINK orb.  I have been doing this for many, many years and have NEVER seen one that looked like this one.  I posted it on my Facebook page and was contacted by a very nice lady that told me the PINK orb was a young girl, in her twenties with dark hair and a curl up toward her face.  So she and I have been trying to find out who she is and what happened to her.  Below is what we have found out so far, so I thought I would ask for you guys to help us.  My friends on FB are also trying to research and see what we can find out about this lovely young spirit.  I fell she wants her story told....we just have to find out what it is.

Ok....Let's find out Flora's story. For those of you who are helping me find out about this lovely spirit... here are the pictures that Laura Creslaw drew. She did an AMAZING job!!!! Here is the information we have at this time...any additional "feelings" or information you can find out about our Flora please let me know...you can message me or post here whichever you prefer. And if you can draw her as Laura did that would be wonderful to!    Let's tell Flora's story....She may be gone but is not forgotten.  FLORA COLEMAN ANNIS WIFE OF B.F. ANNIS BORN SEPT. 27, 1872 DIED AUG. 23, 1892 AT THE AGE OF 20. SHE IS BURIED AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY IN ROSWELL, GA. SHE HAS DARK HAIR AND IS WEARING A BLUE SHAWL.  HER MOTHER'S NAME IS NANCY COLEMAN ALSO BURIED AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ROSWELL, GA.  SHE WAS BORN OCT.16, 1854 AND DIED AUG 29, 1898.  HER FATHER'S NAME IS WILLIAM COLEMAN AND WE DO NOT MUCH ABOUT HIM.  WHEN FLORA WAS BORN HER MOTHER WAS 16 AND HER FATHER WAS 20.  SHE MARRIED A MAN NAMED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ANNIS ON AUG.23, 1891(WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE CORRECT MARRIAGE DATE) WHICH MEANS FLORA DIED EXACTLY ONE YEAR TO THE DAY FROM THE DAY SHE GOT MARRIED!  May have a young son maybe around the age of 3 or 4. Possibility was hit by horses and carriage on a busy street-could be they were both run over by horses? Her husband lived til old age.

Below is an amazing sketch done by Laura Creslaw of Flora.  And the original photo she saw.
