Alvarez, Bernardo, d. 13 Jun 1924

This looks just like the shape of a coffin. Some people wonder if there is actually somebody down in the hole or if they just put that over them, but I’m sure it is just a stone. They’ve been here since 1924 and whoever carved that into the stone knew what they were doing or maybe he went to sleep and he got it right accidentally when he did it. And his name is Bernardo Alvarez and you can see the writing clearly, 1913-1923. When I get ghost hunters visiting and they figure it’s a child then they used to put a little toy or stuffed animal on the grave, and this is a little boy, it says “Here lies my niňo.”
