Back in the 1800s, a young woman, named Miranda, lost her husband in an accident at the local saw mill. He was buried in the Lowell cemetery.

One day, when she was visiting the grave site, her team of horses bolted and knocked over a tall spire next to the grave site. The huge stone fell on her and crushed her to death.

Legend has it that she roams the Lowell cemetery at night to make sure that no one disturbers the grave sites. To this day, people have reported seeing a young woman with long blond hair in the cemetery at night.

So, imagine our surprise when our door bell rang the other night and there stood two teenage guys with sound and video equipment.  They were looking for ghosts and asked if we knew of anyone named Miranda in the cemetery.  We told them that we had but had to wonder why they had asked.  Had they seen Miranda or were they just chasing the legend?

Living across from a cemetery can be very strange at times.
