Do you, (because of our interest in true crime), always wonder, when
traveling in remote locations like the Black Hills in SD or other
similar locations, if there are any unfound bodies out there that NOBODY
will ever find because people just don't go there, not even hunters. I
also wonder about those 100 year old outhouses. How many bodies were
buried in them. I mean, who would have wanted to look there when
somebody turns up missing? Also, waaaay back in the days of horse and
carriage, before computers, or fingerprint analysis, how many serial
killers were never caught. What a scary thought. We think we have it
bad nowadays, but imagine back in those days how easy it was to kill
somebody. Makes you wonder how many abused women (or men) offed their
spouse and nobody suspected a thing.

Oh hell yes. A frillion years ago my uncle had a cabin in the Ozarks and
we'd go down there all the time. We(the kids)would take off and go hiking
for hours, and there was this graveyard that had stones like "Jack
Bright's Negro" And "Smith's Seventh Negro" -anyway-the locals always
said that a certain group of hunters shot at least one person a year
accidentally on purpose and they would lay them in that slave graveyard.
By the time the spring came and waking animals took care of them, there
was nothing left to call a body. True? no idea.

This I know is true, when they were building the mass transit system here
and expanding the airport,they had to remove alot of graves. It started
this huge ordeal because they were finding more than one body in single
graves with out caskets. Headstones moved all over the place. The
caretaker ended up shooting herself over the investigation. It,too,was a
primarily "black" graveyard from the turn of the century. She was not
doing proper burials,and there ended up being a good number of extra
bodies. Alot of the bodies were already moved once from another
graveyard.

This part is local rumor.Some people say thats where Maury Travis left
some of his early victims, and instead of being found they sunk down
because none of the burials were properly packed down.

People who thought they had relatives there couldn't find them,and the
unnaccounted for bodies-made it all really eerie. I drove by there almost
everyday...we of course being retarded teenagers made up stories to scare
each other.

Every once in awhile it will pop up on the news again that someone is
interested and wants to clean it up, but you never hear anything more
about it.

Wow, that does sound pretty freaky. I have a morbid curiosity of
graveyards, especially the really old ones. I love reading the headstones
and wondering what happened. Aren't there also several bodies of Bundy
that they haven't been able to find?

Our house is planted in the boonies with hundreds of acres of unchartered
woods and deep ravines with a river running thru it. When I venture thru
the woods to the river, it takes quite some climbing up and down the
ravines. It looks so prehistoric back in them thar woods. It's a
national historic site, "Blood Run" that is protected. It was an old
indian burial ground with several mounds (the Oneota and Omaha indians)
from back in the late 1600's early 1700's. I'm always on the lookout for
a body part after heavy rains have eroded more of the ravines. Whenever
one of my pooches bring home a bone, I check it over closely before
tossing it.

Those graveyards for the black people with their "Smith's Seventh Negro"
type names are really sad aren't they? Didn't they have names, even a
nickname they could have used?

I was the kid that read the same National Geographics every summer because I
couldn't get over the stories of genocide and stuff the African tribes did,
so those graves really got to me. My dad has some stone rubbings we did one
summer. That was also the drop off place for the annual snipe hunts so we
spent alot of time there. Thats alot of what makes me root for the
underdog,deserving or not. I dunno..

When I was about 8? I guess, Carrie was on TV and I snuck out of bed to
watch it under the kitchen table. Looking back, I guess as long as I was
quiet no one cared I was there,it was the constant jabbering that got me
sent to bed. Anyway,the hand coming out of the grave at the end gave me
nightmares when we were down there. I was always convinced there were
floaters in the lake that were gonna get me. I'm sure there "are" floaters
at the Lake of the Ozarks,but none are gonna start grabbing ankles. Snapping
turtles didn't phase me,it was the dead people.
