I was talking with the G.F. last night and were just talking about “haunted locations” in the area that we live and one particular cemetery came in to conversation.

The story goes that a male murdered all of his children, wife then himself and they are all buried in this cemetery.  ( I have nothing to back the story up with. All been passed down).

Well her friend (male) took a piece of slate and made it in to a tombstone.  Put his girlfriends name on it, with the date and at the bottom will you marry me?  Then took it to the old cemetery placed it on the ground and covered it with leaves and twigs.

Heres the good part

So now he picks up the girlfriend, goes for a ride and end up to this LONG LONG path to get to the cemetery.  They start the hike and he tells her of the stories of the murderous male and the family that is buried in the cemetery.

Get to the cemetery and start looking at all of the old tombstones.  He bends down to uncover the slate one that he made and she was watching him.

Of course he cleaned it off from the top to the bottom so she sees her name, the date (present date) and starts to FREAK OUT thinking that the boyfriend went nuts and was going to kill her.  He quickly uncovers the rest of it and she realizes what is now going on and starts crying and says yes.

Im not sure if I agree with proposing to someone in an old cemetery…… but damn is this funny and I just had to share. J
