In years long passed, it was the habit to hold a deceased person’s viewing and wake at home in the front parlor. During that time it was referred to as “the death room”. The Ladies Home Journal in 1910 declared the “Death Room” as no more and henceforth the parlor would be known as the “Living Room”.

America’s Unknown Child: The Boy Found in a Box As you walk through the imposing gatehouse of Philadelphia’s Ivy Hill Cemetery on a summer’s afternoon, just about the first thing you see is a blaze of colorful flowers at the left-hand fork in the road. These annual blooms grow so high, they almost cover the black granite gravestone behind them. You’ll usually see more bright color along the top of the stone, in the form of teddy bears, plastic toys, and silver coins.

Woman Hollering Creek Located off of Interstate 10 in Seguin, between San Antonio and Houston, there is a creek that is said to be haunted by the spirit of a woman who drowned her two children there. Now it is said that she walks along the bank trying to find them. Many have claimed to hear her wails and some have even seen her. People are warned not to get too close to the creek or her hand will reach up from the water and pull you in.

The Wallula Treasure In 1859, gold was discovered in Idaho, and Wallula was the jumping off point for miners headed to the gold fields. From Wallula they headed east (or returned) on Dorsey Baker’s Walla Walla and Columbia Line. It was also known as the Rawhide Railroad, because according to early travelers, the original rail lines were made of split wood, which Baker covered with rawhide to make the trains run smoother. According to legend, two men boarded the train’s one express car, and stole several pounds of gold bullion. They jumped off the train and went overland toward Wallula, to catch a riverboat to Portland. Unfortunately for the robbers, a posse dogged their trail for many miles, and captured the robbers just outside of Wallula. Before they wer caught, the robbers buried the gold. They hung the men before returning to Wallula, but never found the money.

The Baby Graves of Tri-Cities Last night we went out to the Baby Graves cemetery and got the crap scared out of us. This cemetery is weird, it’s over a hundred years old, and has nothing but babies buried there. They say that if you go there at night, and are really quiet, you can hear the babies crying. Maybe they call for their mommies? It wasn’t easy to find the place, it’s located in the hills outside of Kennewick, and the roads wind in and out of the hills, and there aren’t any real landmarks.

Western State Mental Hospital It was pretty easy getting in; the ruins are located in Fort Steilacoom County Park, in Lakewood. I waited until dark to go in, after leaving my car outside of the park, which closes at night. At the end of the Park’s parking lot, there is a path, which wound through heavy woods – lucky I brought a flashlight. It was like walking through a wall of trees, and as I came out of the woods I saw the ruins of the hospital on a hill. It was surrounded by a chain link fence and razor wire, but someone had cut the fence, and I got inside. The building looked like someone had tried burning it down, or maybe blowing it up.
