Real quick, a few links! first off, I was shocked to discover that the old sesame street is now deemed unsuitable for children. Really. Go read this if you don’t believe me and then check out the Bert is Evil site for some fun!
Okay, on to the main attraction!
Hubby and I finally found the Slagle Cemetery a few weeks ago. It has a few gems in it, though nothing as fantastic as what a person could find in Europe or the East Coast for that matter. ah well, here are some pics either way.
this looks overgrown but it's just a damn Yucca plant. I hate those things.
shattered devotion
Time devours all
Eternally seperated
Just cool
black n white
I have an obsession with child graves. I dunno why....
to a yank like me this is pretty awesome...
Cool above ground slab
Can you see the dmonic face?
Born in the 1700's
I really wanted a couple of these flowers, but hubby was convinced that ghosts would follow us home or something if I took a couple. No one would have noticed as it was a HUGE spread, but whatever...
I like this one
There's a crypt!!
Awesome water stains
The sunset as we were leaving
ditto
And that’s all for now!

Awesome pics. You’d love Highgate Cemetery, it’s just such a cool place.
You know, I agree with hubby, could never take flowers from a cemetery, not even one, I’d be convinced I’d be followed by the ghost of the person who was left the flowers lol
I know I enjoyed your pics from it! We need a real OLD cemetery around here! Though I don’t know how long ago Missouri was settled… *disappears to wiki* Up around St. Louis is 1750 it says, though no idea for clear down here… We’re so boring, LOL!
1750 isn’t bad, but we’re ancient compared to you. Been to a pub that was there in the 1500′s
and a chapel in the Tower of London that was there in 1000
the mind boggles…
Exactly! I can’t even comprehend something built in 1500, let alone 1000…. *is boggled*
LOL!
Me and my fiance just moved to Chillicothe, where is Slagle Cemetery? What is there to do here?
It’s just south of Bolivar, off of Highway 13. It has some pretty good stuff to photograph, but there’s a better one a little bit north (though still south of Bolivar) that has a lot of great crosses.
cool i live in chillicothe moved there in 2000 after gracing high school at hale mo. i did not know about the slagle cemetery i talk to dead pepole it is a gift i guess they come to me for help some times call at 660-752-5667 if need any help with goasts thinks
