A Trip to the Graveyard

 My partner and I ended up taking a trip to the large graveyard up by College-town, in which we wandered and started to film. I've decided that we will be filming most of our endeavors and arrange all of the footage into a documentary of the sort detailing our experiences. Recently, we have had much inspiration from watching the X-Files, and have deeded to try and solve things through scientific means. Who is Mulder and who is Scully has yet to be determined.
While noting particularly exciting happened at the cemetery( maybe because it was broad daylight) we did find a fallen flag pole in the Veteran's section, as seen above. As you can see the pole fell and landed directly in front of the headstones, narrowly missing them. If one were to calculate directly where this flagpole would have landed, it should have hit the headstones, most likely breaking them. My background as an engineer has been helping me through these sort of situations, and to notice what others might see as purely coincidental. As a skeptic it is my first thought that the winds were strong and not included into my calculations, and that could have caused the pole to fall in such a way. Nonetheless, it is very intriguing to imagine that there were paranormal forces influencing it.
To the right is a headstone with nothing except my name on it. These were very common in poor folk who could not afford headstones with their full name and date of death on it. Due to the weathering, I would say that this dates to around the Civil War era or so, as this practice fell out of style later. I must say though, seeing my own name like that did intrigue me.
