There's No\Charge f for This Haunting _

BY JOE COLLIER HIS particular graveyard is in the country, on a hill, and is surrounded by a pocked board fence that looks like a lace ghost, lying down. Inside the fence, and only restrained from flight by it, are a colony of cedars which chatter their fright to winds they don’t know. In the brave morning sun, an old man who lives next door, stopped pulling feathers out of a chicken long enough to mention that he can’t remember when the last body was buried there.

. “Appears,” he said, “that they've quit using it as a graveyard.” Well, “they” may have, but lots

of things haven't. Besides, who abandons an “abandoned’ graveyard, anyway? Persistent reports have come from others in the neighborhood and from people who have to pass there before sun-up that the place is being put to seasonal use these nights. In books at the Indiana State Library this graveyard, or an identical one, is as an assembly ground for ghosts. Several persons so attested 75 years ago,

A woman it was. They put her body in that vault over yonder, to bury later.” He picked up his things and started walking rapidly away. “I believe that body's still there,” he flung over his shoulder, “No wonder things go on here.” And that’s the story of a graves yard near Indianapolis that looks abandoned in the day time.
