Hopefully since Halloween is coming revisiting this old haunt wont seem so strange.







When I was a kid, growing up around here we had several stories of these tombs @ the Evergreen Cemetery. People 'saw ghosts walking in the windows or around the cemetary itself'.
Well I took a wrong turn yesterday & ended up revisiting this old stomping ground.
Also a eery rumor... They say this about the Rucker mansion: The Rucker mansion is haunted by Mrs. Rucker, who committed suicide by jumping from the bedroom window on the top floor. Sometimes she can be heard playing the grand piano when no one is in the room.
Nonetheless this is fact: The Rucker Tomb is a historical landmark in Everett Washington. The tomb was built in 1907 by the Rucker Brothers to honor their mother, Jane. The granite pyramid is 50ft tall and houses the remains of several Rucker family members. The Rucker family is one of the prominent pioneer families of Everett, WA.

I have to admit I enjoyed photgraphing &visiting this cemetery, I have always found them peaceful.
