The Bride On The Headstone
line

Years ago, a railroad engineer named Robert Musgrove was engaged to be married to a lovely young woman. Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly before his wedding. Not too long afterward, the young bride-to-be disappeared.

Within a short time, visitors to Robert's grave noticed an image appearing on the gravestone. The image appeared to be the outline of a young woman in a bridal gown who seems to be kneeling at the grave.

As the years passed, the image became clearer and clearer until at last even her face could be seen. Some who see this image are impressed by the sight, other say that it takes a real imagination to see anything.

Note: The image in question is on the spire that was once atop the marker, but has been removed and is sitting beside it. There is a imperfection in the stone that could be an image of a woman if seen at the right angle, but the stone is over 100 years old and time has taken it's toll on the marker.
