Toad's Barrows

I always heard the tales about Toad's Barrows, but figured they were just some kind of ghost story.  Well, today, deep in the woods on an early morning walk, I think I found them.  At first the markers blended in with the trees and leaves, but then I noticed they were all around me, and spreading off into the distance, deeper into the woods.  I got out of there pretty fast.  And only got this one photo.

You did not follow them? Where is your sense of adventure Rot?

Yea, that may have given me the whillies too. Especially by yourself....I'd like to know the lore about it.

Local Lore: I used my gravemarkers from my 2017 and 2018 displays ; ) And almost fell to my death at one point setting those top ones up. Doesn't look it, but that is a vertical drop and I almost went back-first down onto some stones on the other side of the mound.

I would have died out there. It would have been worth it.

I love how subtly the crosses blend in to the background - really amps up the creepy factor!! I am glad you didn't die!

I know I am late to the party in welcoming you back, but it has been really great to see your new posts. When we saw Candyman this year, the first thought I had as we were leaving the drive in, was how much you would love this movie, and how much I miss your film posts and recaps.

Thanks. Really thankful I didn't end up paralyzed and freezing to death over the course of a full day.

Thanks! It's nice to be back.

And I DID love that film, and plan to do a write up.
