Been there twice with a friend and seen it glowing. Other times it never did. I have another 3 friends that have been there also (this website is what brought up the discussion) and they also have seen a glowing headstone. This was years apart and we weren't friends at that time so their experience was totally separate from mine. My friend and I were actually in a car both times and we did not have to stand in front of the headstone or even go into the cemetery. it is across from a recreation area used for trail riding and a large parking area and It had nothing to do with what angle we looked at it as we tried several all from within the car of course! It still glowed!
