In this video, we visit the Stamps Cemetery in Putnam County, Tennessee, which has gotten a reputation as a witches' graveyard because of markings on the headstones. We will discuss the folklore and history of the peculiar tent graves found there.

Im 63 this month in 2024 and when I was about 2 months old my cousin and I both got the thrash mouth (thrush is the proper term I think but here in East Tn we call it thrash). An older woman who was born the 7th child and her last name was Fox by birth and then she’d married a man named Fox (last name) came to our house and blew snuff into mine and my cousins mouths and we got better. Also, when I was a small child my nose would just start bleeding for no reason. So a woman came to our house and said a couple Bible verses from a King James Version Bible and my nose hasn’t bled since. I was old enough to remember this incident. It was Ezekiel 16:6 and she substituted my name in the place of thee, thou and thy. She repeated it 3 times. Just found your old video and I like your channel.

Interesting video of an interesting place. Thanks for taking us along and for telling us about the history. The melted wax can conjure up all kinds of stories. And I think hunters like autumn more than photographers. (At my old job I always had a problem trying to take vacation time during the fall because my boss took off to go hunting.)

You never know what kinds of things are tucked away in the landscape! But yeah when the gunshots start that's when I move along!

Love that tree. I think this time of year is especially cool because you are seeing trees suddnenly barren of leaves after a long period of full bloom. But, I just love that gnarly look. Thanks for taking us along on another cool trip!

@Keithdotson Жыл бұрын

Yeah I wish I had documented more of that on video. I didn't expect this to be anything more than a cemetery video on my other channel, but then other opportunities presented themselves. I 100-percent agree about seeing the gnarly trees emerge from the cloak of leaves.

Fun fact in the 1700 & 1800's ppl were buried under the floorboards of their church, especially in the city(maybe no room left) , so they started beautiful cemeteries like Mt Mariah and Mt. Laurel! Look them up, Mt Mariah (now abandoned, on the Philadelphia side) graves left, hauntingly gorgeous and Mt Laurel, stunning flowers, trees,flowers and breathtaking graves monuments crypts

How are you suppose to cut the grass or cut weeds on a grave without going over it
