    What most people don't realize is much of what Lovecraft wrote is actually truth and not fiction.
    It's fascinating how he knew all of these things way back then.
    Almost like he was from another planet..I'm happy that Stuart Gordon put alot of his stories up on the big screen and they remain some of my favorite movies.. Nice job guys!🤘😎

    Swan Point is one of my favorite places in and around Providence; absolutely beautiful grounds with a ton of amazing monuments. And you were dead on about Lovecraft's grave; it can be incredibly tough to find even if you know to look out for the Phillips monument. I've only managed to find it once; I'm glad I took some photos when I did. Also, did you guys get a chance to walk through some of the huge columbaria at Swan Point?
    Providence has a weird relationship with Lovecraft. All of the weirdos love him, and want to see him recognized around the city, but the city itself seems almost ashamed of him, and it's a huge uphill battle to get any sort of official monument or recognition.
    I hope you guys get to come back this way soon and spend more time in the area. I strongly recommend Mount Auburn Cemetery just outside of Boston next time you're in New England.

    Two words that can be written are ЛЮБОДЕЕВУ ОТ БРАТВЫ.
    The first word is quite simplified Russian language translation of H.P. surname.
    Two other words can be translated as “from mates”.

    I had a similar experience finding it as you, and this was in spite of looking up a map of the cemetery ahead of time. We had the GPS coordinates and everything, but we went toward the end of winter, and New England had been hit by five major nor'easters that season, the fourth and worst of which was about a week before we got there. There was caution tape all around the cemetery, often blocking off roads entirely. If you looked up you discovered the barriers were there to keep folks from being crushed by the giant broken treetops that were now held precariously in the branches overhead. We had barely gotten into Swan Point before we had to get out of the car and go on foot from there.
    Actually, it didn't take terribly long to reach Lovecraft's grave, and we spent some time there looking through a similar assortment of trinkets as you found. (There were some octopus toys, the insert from a PC game that had a Lovecraftian influence, a calligraphy pen that looked like it might have been from HPL's era, etc.) We even ran across a young couple who knew of Lovecraft but hadn't read him. I couldn't help but give them some history to share since they were locals.
    But after lingering for a while and then exploring the periphery, guess what? I'd lost my sense of direction. We ended up wandering all over the place for at least 45 minutes. I enjoyed sight-seeing, but now it was getting late. In desperation, I went back to HPL's grave (because at least I knew where that was now) and we worked our way backwards to the car from there, passing lots more grave sites and up-turned trees along the way. It was quite an adventure. Of course, if everything was about the destination, we would all just race to a cemetery and stay there. Thanks for sharing your journeys.

    "I am providence' it’s a quote from one of his letters. However the gravestone was only erected in 1977 by a group of his fans, so the choice of quote is theirs rather than any desire by Lovecraft to make the assertion.
