my grandkids lived at tower hill for a couple years. the ridge was the place of action. i used to take them there just to walk around. one time we went ,the road to the cenetary got real dark,but down at the cemetary it was all sun shiney and bright as could be. i wanted to turn aroud but didnt. we went on to the cemetaryand when we left i never have taken those kids there by myself again. did you ever see the old sea captains grave? we saw it once and never could find it anymore. my grandmother and uncle lived at cowden in the country . i grew up hearing things about the ridge.

I know this is an old post but just ran across it. Oh the stories I could tell you about this place. I grew up there. My folks own the property around it. The family Plots are in this cemetary. The gate out the back leads to my folks house. I witnessed all kinds of weird stuff around there growing up. I have witnessed the temperature drops. I used to play there as a kid. Would walk through there to go to a friends house who lived on top the hill day and night. Did do my share of partying there as well. Can’t say I ever saw any “ghosts” but I did see and hear a lot of spooky stuff that I couldn’t explain. I have witnessed quite a few of the animal rituals aftermaths as well. I stumbled on one in progress once but got out of there fast as I could as I didn’t know what type of Nuts were doing this.
