Although few reminders remain today of this once
flourishing community, a couple of pieces of history still exist. A good example is the old post office, which
is still standing. Another is the Lanier Cemetary, which is located, however, on private property, which brings me to
my creepy tale.
Late in the evening, one March afternoon, couple of
friends and I met at the home of Ms. Cindy Law, another good friend, and the person lucky enough to live on the land
in the Lanier Cemetary is located. We had been talking alot over the past year about wanting to visit this spot, so
it was very exciting to have the chance to finally get to actually go there. When we got there, it was deep in the woods
and well hidden. The cemetary is so old that some of the graves are hard to find because of trees and brush that have
grown there since the early days when the cemetary was started. We walked along as Cindy told us some history regarding
the cemetary and the old city. Then, came the part most exciting. As we approached one of the very first graves,
my EMF meter alarmed loudly, telling us that there was a good chance we weren't alone on this tour. This was a very
chilling occurrence, as it was not completely dark yet which is usually the best time for spiritual activity. After
this, we journeyed on deeper into the woods and found several more graves and even a set of graves with an old iron fence
around it. Needless to say, it was a very interesting tour which turned out to be a very successful ghost hunt. A very
special thanks to Cindy for allowing me to put this story on my site, and also for taking her time to give us a tour of this
as well as the rest of Lanier and Miona Springs. It was an experience that none of us will soon forget.
As of now, I do not have any pictures or EVP, but
I hope to visit this place again in the near future and hope to be lucky enough to capture something, so keep checking back.
