A Curious Grave near Castleman River
The report describes six poplar trees growing from a shared root forming a coffin shaped space near the river bank. A child’s grave is said to lie beneath, the six trees appearing to cradle the earth above. A worn gravestone marks the plot, though the creator is unknown.
