I finally got some of these photos off my cell phone and decided to share them with any fellow spook aficionado's in the fandom this marker has some interesting history. Me and Puppet visited this cemetery back in I believe March of this year. http://www.uptake.com/blog/family_v.....tery_2017.html

Marion Cemetery has the dubious honor of being home to the Merchant family grave marker, known in paranormal circles for its unintended movements. The marker consists of a large grey granite pedestal capped by a two-ton granite sphere four feet in diameter. The sphere moves on its base several inches every year, as measured by the distance traveled by the unpolished spot from where it was mated to the pedestal. While the movement of the sphere is thought to be facilitated by freeze-thaw cycles, earth tremors, or trapped air or water under the base, there has been no conclusive explanation for patterns that the sphere seems to follow. The movements of the sphere have been documented by numerous news outlets and it has been featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not (September 29, 1927). This has also been documented in Frank Edwards' book,"Strange World", from an edition in the early to mid sixties. There are several sites on the internet concerning this tombstone.
