SHROUDED LADY

SHROUDED LADY
Commissioned by Joshua Waterman for his
wife in 1876, this marker had a heck of a
time getting to America. The 12-foot marble
piece was created in Italy and shipped from
Rome, only to be lost at sea when the ship
sank near Spain. Two years later it was
retrieved, only to tumble off another ship in
the Hudson River.
Once retrieved and placed at Elmwood, a
1919 storm knocked it over and broke it.
Some call it eerie. Others say it’s cursed.
It gave me a stomach ache and flung water
on my mother.

BLOODY RUN
![Page 38: Why You Want to be Buried in Elmwood Cemetery (Detroit, Michigan)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032114/55a7d3881a28ab730f8b4809/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
RED ORBS AND STREAMS
An area of Elmwood lies on Bloody Run, which was the nickname given a creek
where a massacre went down in 1763. Chief Pontiac and 250 of his braves laid in
wait for British soldiers to come marching across a bridge, at which time they let
loose with a “solid sheet of fire,” slaying between 60 and 160 British soldiers. The
underlying creek ran red for days. Known as a paranormal hotspot, the area is now
home to bright orbs, unusual mists and strange apparitions floating about. While I
was uncertain of the exact location of Bloody Run, I did capture orange-red orb-
like lights and what appears to be a stream of blood near certain gravesites.

The red mist-like,
creek-like, blood-like
imagery in these
photos was not
apparent to the naked
eye yet showed up on
these pix. Eek!
