It really breaks my heart and pisses me off to see how cruel and inconsiderable some people can be when it come to showing any respect for another person's feelings. Myself and Sheila were out tonight in a beautiful historical cemetery. And what should have looked liked this all the way through....
Unfortunately looked more like these pictures....
What makes it so hard to understand is the fact that these are the final resting places of other peoples loved ones? If these were your family members would you want someone going in destroying what little bit of history is left behind of them just for the fun of it? Our Team doesn't just do Paranormal Research, some of us also do Genealogical Research for ourselves and other researchers. And sometimes the only way to trace that information is through actually getting out and struggling through the rows of headstones in the older cemeteries where there are no records. So when people vandalize the cemetery their not just destroying a few headstones or memorials, their also destroying other people's family history. And to some of you that might not mean anything, but it means a lot to me, and I'm sure it does to several others. If you need a place to party, go to the park, the beach, someone's back yard, or the river bank..... CEMETERIERS ARE NOT THAT PLACE!!!!!
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, When I'm in a cemetery after hours, I am there doing research and I'm doing it LEGALLY which means that the overseer of the cemetery is aware that I'm there and so is Law Enforcement. But, I'll give you fair warning that if I am in a location and anyone else show's up, they should know that if they don't have the proper permission to be there (And I will ask for specific names) I will tell them to leave, and I won't hesitate to call the authorities.
