[edit] History

The cemetery stood relatively peacefully until the late 1990s, when word spread about ghost stories and ghastly apparitions. Various paranormal research organizations, intent on capturing the paranormal activies at Goodleberg paraded carloads of investigators from neighboring counties, intent on capturing evidence of the paranormal. To date, there has been injuries, and one death resulting from paranormal, or unexplained activities, at the site.

[edit] Folklore

Folklore has it that a Dr. Goodleberg had been performing illegal abortions then burying the unborn children and patients who did not survive the procedure behind his home located on a small hill overlooking the cemetery. A series of rain storms caused the pond behind the cemetery to flood, unearthing the remains of the unborn children and patients from their shallow graves. This was brought to the attention of the townspeople when neighbourhood dogs began to feast on the exposed remains.

It was believed that Dr. Goodleberg hanged himself from the branch of one of the pine trees bordering the cemetery before he was brought to trial.

Ghost stories have been created over the years, including the appearance of apparitions of crawling infants and hell hounds, presumably both derived from the content of the lore. In recent years, it has been a site of frequent desecration. In the late 1990s, the grave of a small child was dug up for the purpose of a seance ritual.^[2]

INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET

Those born under Taurus and Libra are the Venus type. You are attractive and beautiful, gentle, friendly and diplomatic. You have expressive eyes, usually dark in color. You also have a small mouth, pouting lips and a curvaceous body. The women are slightly heavy at their hips. You have sloping shoulders, perhaps, because of the way you carry yourself. Proud and self-conscious, you are aware of your charm. You are artistic in your outlook, dress tastefully and are fond of perfumes. You are opportunists and always at the right place.

TAURUS LOVE MYSTERY

You hate uncertainty of any kind, but especially in personal relationships. All attachments are lasting and exclusive with a high degree of permanence. Hence the Taureans hate divorce, going to any lengths to ensure a peaceful and stable marriage. They are also anchors to their mates - generous and solid providers.

I would have to disagree with the materialistic view - at least at this point in my life.
