The Lady in Granite

All of these pictures are from Penn Yan Cemetery in Penn Yan, New York.  This tombstone, or rather the entity inside the tombstone, is known as the "Lady in Granite."  The face-like blemish on the granite appeared several years after the tombstone was placed over a female murder victim and her husband-turned-murderer as they lay side by side.  As a result of the "eyesore" created by the blemish, the tombstone was replaced with a new piece of rock.  This rock, complete with blemish just as it's always been, is the new tombstone.  It took about two years for the blemish to reappear.  In exactly the same place as the old one.  

Although the sky looks orange in these pictures, it was actually a moonless night.  The shutter had to be open for several minutes to capture these images, and we used a little help from our flashlights.

 Here she is: the Lady in Granite!  Most say her mouth is open, as if screaming, and can be seen in the bottom left area of the blemish.  Do you see the face in the light?

 A very bright star-lit shot.  The shutter was open for over 4 minutes!

This is the one where I turned into a zombie and took pictures of myself.  The light went right through me.  Literally.
