The Grave

There are always fresh flowers on the grave, the placement of which is the subject of local folklore - some claim they are placed there by pixies, but it is known that the author Beatrice Chase was one person who did this, before her death in 1955. By 2007 the placing of flowers had expanded into all sorts of votive offerings: coins, candles, shells, small crosses and toys, for instance.

Motorists, passing at night, claim to have glimpsed ghostly figures in their headlights, others report seeing a dark, hooded figure kneeling there.

Famous quotes containing the word grave:

    Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
    Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
    That flames upon your forehead with a glow
    That blinds you to the way that you must go.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The tyrant custom, most grave senators,
    Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war
    My thrice-driven bed of down.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
