Forgotten Cemetery
The old man who lived here didn't know the people buried in the cemetery beside his home. But he cared for their graves as if they were his own family. One Halloween night, the children of the town came to the tower to play tricks on him. They stomped the flowers and kicked at the cemetery stones. The old man rose from bed furious! He burst out the door, waving his arms and screaming at them wildly. The children scattered away, screaming. The old man walked over and gently patted one of the stones. He was out of breath from all the excitement. He sat down next to it and closed his eyes. Days later, his body was found. The townspeople decided to lay the old man to rest next to his home so he could continue to watch over the cemetery he loved. In time, the man, his home, and the little cemetery were forgotten. But forgotten is not gone. So if you ever find it while walking in the woods, take care not to disturb. Lest you wake the old man's soul, and he furiously comes after you.
