Anderson Graveyard

[reeb]

There are some rumors about a girl crying and a statue that bleeds in an accessable cemetary in Anderson In.
The rumor has been floating around Anderson a long time, it has been printed in the local paper on several occasions.
There is a staue of a little girl standing with an older man that is clearly visable from High street. This area gets really flooded from the White River- water raises all the way into the graves. High street is closed a couple times each spring due to the water level.

I dont think there would be a big risk in an investigation there, make sure the river isnt flooded lol.

GPS location- lat=40.11495, lon=-85.67

It is located real close to Anderson University.

I snapped a shot from the road as I drove by today.



I think there is a mystery with the flowers too. Its been a long time since I thought, read or heard anything about this place so I cant give details about rumors.

This also brought back some old old personal memories....
There was an old iron bridge just south of this cemetary. It was called Delaware Bridge.
I know for a fact there was at least one death here from a group of guys driving over the side.
My mother dated one of the survivors, his name was Mike.
(she thinks the fella that died was named John Johns)
This would have been about 1977ish.

I also brought it up to someone else who lived right by this bridge and she thought she could remember someone in a 'Vette going over the side.
Mom said it wasnt a vette that Mikes' friend wrecked, so its possible more than one person drove off.
I guess it could be an initeresting place to check out, but I have never heard of any strange activity.
Its located at the curve going south on Indiana Av. towards Broadway.
Follow the curve east to Broadway- keep going forward through the stop light (over Broadway) and you are then on high street going towards the cemetary. These are maybe 1/4 mile from each other.

I can remember this bridge. I was sad when I heard it was going to be tore down. I loved to ride my bike across it.
It was cool because the 'road' or the bottom was made from steal mesh-like stuff (sort-like fencing) you could see through it to the woods below, and it was far! (I guess 30ft)
Additional info:
If you google earth the bridge, follow the old road on the south side of the river, on the west side of the old road you are looking at what I was told to be an old hospital "land fill" - all the stuff hospitals tossed out before BIO_HAZ containers were around!
Lots of homeless dwell in the mess during the night.
