Joining him will be Kristi Henson, a Campbellsville resident who has experience in locating burial sites of unmarked graves.<br />“I enjoy discovering what Mother Nature has hidden from those who find cemeteries of great interest and historical value,” Nichols said, observing, “It is our history, our story that is recorded on the tombstones that now lie beneath the ground. I feel a certain comfort in knowing that finding and raising them brings back to life a certain part of our history."<br />Nichols said that in presenting Buried Secrets he will speak of lessons learned in raising buried tombstones so that others interested in this subject may also engage successfully in this type of historical research and preservation efforts.<br />Henson will discuss the ancient art of grave divining.<br />Nichols and Henson said they hope that the program will inspire others to locate burial sites so that markers can be found if present or the site can be properly marked and preserved if no marker exists. <br />The program is free to the public. Refreshments will be served. If you are near this region, please come to the program.<br />Claudia Kay Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237908194120651377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-67858076003995668412012-12-28T06:21:42.971-05:002012-12-28T06:21:42.971-05:00Hi!

My grandfather was a member of Modern Woodmen of America so I am acquainted with the tree stump head stones. I wrote a poem about cemetery stones titled, GARDENS OF STONE.<br />I would be glad to gift you a copy of my latest book of poems containg this poem.

In the 1930s a "kind" neighbor removed all the stones to mow and plow up the undergrowth, then forgot where to put all the gravestones back. They were lined up in one row in the middle of the cemetery. A dowser came to help locate the actual burial sites, but no one was sure which stone went where...Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-31314494840524077922011-08-22T20:06:37.977-04:002011-08-22T20:06:37.977-04:00Thank you all!

Prior to that, I tried a pair bought in Glastonbury and had no reaction from them. I have some pendulums that I have not tried yet.<br /><br />I have two former asylum cemeteries within ten miles that have had the headstones removed. I will dig them out (the rods, that is) and have a go.<br /><br />What a great post. Much appreciated.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006665414059398782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-3369401512047685082011-08-19T18:01:59.182-04:002011-08-19T18:01:59.182-04:00Great article and beautifully presented Joy....Great article and beautifully presented Joy....Taphophilia Catafalquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475395812088013309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-8867490299566409752011-08-19T17:59:07.539-04:002011-08-19T17:59:07.539-04:00I have used a crystal pendulum for many years and ...I have used a crystal pendulum for many years and every time before I use it I ask it a simple test question ~ I ask it something where I know the answer will be 'yes', then whichever way it swings, then I know that is the positive answer direction. <br />I do this because my pendulum has changed from it's usual direction of swinging for a 'yes', only to return to it again at a later date.<br />Energy is constantly shifting and so this may be why this sometimes happens. <br />Everyone's pendulum is unique to them and you just need to get to 'know' how it works for you.<br />Happy Dowsing........Taphophilia Catafalquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475395812088013309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-8727342476302478902011-08-19T13:44:55.551-04:002011-08-19T13:44:55.551-04:00Wow- what an interesting and wonderful post.
