Have been here a couple of times. The first, me and my wife got an overwhelming smell of roses. It was fall and no flowers at all in the whole cemetery. On the second trip, something touched her chin very gently, and i heard footsteps behind me. Didn’t get an uneasy feeling, just a feeling as if we weren’t alone.
