Rock Ridge Cemetery Project
The layout of this historical cemetery is such that the oldest section is mostly bordering Mountain St and as the markers indicate years that are progressively more recent the sites follow in a “time-line” like manner along East St. From the beginning of the oldest section of the cemetery the terrain consists of rolling hills right up until the years 1920-1970 begin to appear, at that point the terrain becomes completely level. Considering the sizable hills leading up to the new section, this terrain alteration is rather odd.
The entire site of the Rock Ridge Cemetery ---both old and new sections--- gave off a peaceful, for-filled, and contemplative aura; that is until I entered an area of the old section at the peak of a rise where there were numerous family monuments. I neglected to record the names on the tombs within that specific area, so I will have to return to the site, but upon entering a specific area of about twenty feet in length, the peacefulness of the setting was nearly over run with heavy tones of anxiety and malevolence. It was like walking into a room an realizing, “Oh, shoot someone is really not happy!” The unpleasant feeling persisted for the approximate twenty feet than began to ease with reluctance and dragging tendrils. At first I believed that the feeling was just me imagining it, however, when I returned to the cemetery the next day, the same thing occurred.
