"Musgrave Chapel Cemetery-Winfield, Alabama: After Robert Musgrave was killed in a train wreck in April 1904, his family consecrated his grave site with an eight-foot-tall granite obelisk. His devestated sweetheart brought fresh flowers to the grave for fifty years. Her thin silhouette could often be seen kneeling in prayer next to his marker. In 1962, six months after she died, worshippers noticed the same distinctive silhouette at his tombstone. When they investigated, they found a dark stain had leached from the stone to form her exact image. News of the image spread and hundreds of strangers descended on the quiet cemetery. The family had the image sandblasted off the side of the obelisk, but it returned as clearly as ever. Again they hired a stonemason to sandblast the image away, and again the eerie silhouette returned.
(The town of Winsfield in sixty-five miles north of Birmingham on I-78. Musgrave Chapel Cemetery is near Winfield, along the Luxapaillila Creek in north Fayette County. Follow Highway 43 south out of town for six miles and turn west to the chapel.)"
