All Of This Cemetery Talk Got Me Thinking About The Farm Cemetery. It Was Scary

Growing up on "Rural Route 2 Choteau, Montana" (Which now looks to have an actual street name of "5th Lane North West", how fancy.), I spent a lot of time riding my bike up and down the dirt roads looking for adventure.

If you turned right from the farm driveway and went a little ways, you'd come on to what the grown-ups called the "Mean Man's House". (Another article for another day.)

If you turned left and rode the bike a bit then left again and rode down the gravel a bit, there was an old cemetery. I never knew it had a name until today, "Trinity Cemetery".

At the time, it was so scary to me to be walking alone, or alone with my dog, on top of all of those old dead bodies. Some were even babies which made it extra scary to me.

As far as the scariest TOMB I've ever seen? That honor goes to the tomb of Marie Laveau in New Orleans. The hundreds of people who leave her gifts is scary.
