Near the back of an old cemetery in the western part of Lawrence County, so the story goes, there is a tombstone that glows an eerie green. Although we don’t know exactly why, there are plenty of people who have seen it happen.

Several years ago, Nick Harris and three friends piled into a Dodge Daytona and went out to see if it was really true.

When they arrived at the cemetery in the dead of night, they saw nothing but pitch darkness–at first. It wasn’t until they turned to leave that one of them noticed a faint green light coming from the back of the cemetery.

Nick’s friend Bill Allen led the party toward the stone, which continued to glow with that otherworldly green light until they reached it. When they got to the stone, it stopped glowing.

“I’ve never been so scared in my life,” said Harris.

The Glowing Tombstone has long been an object of fascination for many Lawrence County people. What makes it glow? Why does it glow only on certain nights? Is there just one Glowing Tombstone or are there many?

What do you think?
