Outside of Dallas

The night before Hurricane Isaac hit the tour was pretty small. But a couple from outside of Dallas joined us and both of them had seen something in their day.

The man had driven down a road through Laurel Land cemetery late one night and saw someone jump over a barrier, cross the road in front of him and jump over the opposite barrier. He turned the car to see where the person was going and there was no one there, just the cemetery. The next day he spoke with a friend who worked there and told him the story. The friend was a security guard, if memory serves, and told the man he was crazy. But sure enough, the next night he was keeping watch and saw the mysterious person cross the road and disappear into the cemetery once again.

The lady had grown up in an old farm house outside of Dallas. The man who built it gets credit for bringing Chalet cows to the US. In her bedroom was a large circular burn mark. The story in town was the family had a daughter who was mentally ill, or handicap, and she was kept in that room. The woman had not seen the girl, but one afternoon in high school her boyfriend drove her home and she saw her father hop onto the wrap around porch and walk around to the side of the house, out of her line of vision. After he disappeared she realized her father was at work.
