I was in a dilapidated graveyard in Kentucky...
and I ws just walking around taking pictures of old tombstones and I came to a secluded cluster of graves closed off by a wrought iron fence. All the tombstones were dated between 1810 and 1870 and there was just one tombstone outside the fence. Half the fence had been lifted out of the ground by the roots of a tree of which all that remained was a stump. The one tombstone outside the fence was right next to the stump and when I got close to it and looked down I saw a human jawbone. I thought about taking the bone to see if a ghost would haunt me, but decided that was kind of sick. I considered the possibility that it wasn't from one of the graves, but I think the odds of that are pretty remote. But then how did it get all the way to the surface? Just by the tree roots? That doesn't seem very likely if they buried people 6 feet down back then. It was probably a rushed burial.
Thought to would all like to know.
