    Part 2 of the wildly overgrown cemetery we explored and documented. This part 2 is by far my favorite of the 2 videos of this cemetery. Piecing back together that broken stone was pretty amazing.

      Most of these are Christian burials. As for evil spirits, trust me, these days they are everywhere, and likely you will find them at your neighbors before you will find them in that cemetery. But if you walk in the Lord and ask him to take care of binding up the evil, then you do not walk in fear. Christ goes before me, stands behind me, and surrounds me to protect me. He does that for all who believe. I know this for a fact as I have crazy neighbors who practice voodoo and there are also Satanist. I do not walk in fear for I have a powerful God and Savior, and they know this. It is God who protects us, and God who receives all the thanks and praise. Be wise, but don’t walk in fear. Take care.

    That new camera was a fine investment! Great picture AND sound!
    Excellent cemetery explore! Lots of folks born in the early 1800s... considering those graves are almost 200 years old now, they were surprisingly easy to read.
    ...and I'm equally impressed that, throughout all that digging and brush/leaf removal, no snakes were found. Two thumbs up for that!!! :-)

    There needs to be a national group that looks after old cemeteries with chapters in all the towns in the country. I bet there would be many retired people who would love to care for these old graveyards after you and those like you have found them. If you only went out there a few times a year it would be enough.

    Bless you for all you do in these old cemeteries. You are clearly proclaiming your humanity & love for your fellow man by caring for graves of those long gone who are so many neither related or known by you.
    In addition, I'm so happy to see you all using those fantastic brushes to clear the stones of dirt & debris. I was cringing every time you did it with bare hands. I was praying there was no insect waiting to bite or sting or glass shards waiting or small thorns waiting to bite unprotected hands. So thank you for getting & using those!
