Night Hike In The Woods Of Kentucky

So today we went to my coworker Dony's house. It was the best house ever! It was way out in the woods, right up against a creek with an old gristmill on it. We went down by the mill and down to the creek. Oh, it was nighttime.. So there were no lights at all.





All those are pictures of the front of the mill. It is no longer in use, but Dony said that they used to do period reenactments every weekend. He said it was built back in the mid 1800s. We didn't take that many pictures since it was pitch black (we had no flashlights btw) but he said we can come back during the day sometime..


The whole purpose of the trip out to Dony's was to go on this night hike down to this graveyard in the middle of the woods. REALLY in the MIDDLE of the woods. It was sooo dark by the time we got down there. And there were only six of us that went.. So dark.

It was an old family graveyard owned by the people that own the land Dony lives on.

This is the entrance.

Remember, this is in the MIDDLE OF THE WOODS. No houses for about a mile, and woods so dense you could hardly see.

This is the angel on one side of the enrance.

These are the graves. They are from about 1996 and up. But Dony said there were a couple that were a lot older. There are also some graves in front of his house from the 1700s.



It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I can't wait to go back there.

Wow! That sounds like a wild and amazing experience, wandering around the woods in Kentucky! The photos add an eerie quality to your description and while limited in what they show (due to nighttime) would not be as effective taken in daylight. Do you think you'd stay the night in that graveyard?!?
