Dusting off this space...
I rather like how friends I haven't seen in years are resurfacing here on LJ. I missed this place. We were different people here.

An abandoned headstone and a mystery: a relatable Poltergeist Post
I caught a story this morning (@Local4News) about a headstone - like a cemetery headstone - abandoned at the Southfield Police Department in Southfield, MI. The Parks and Recs Dept is keeping it safe until an owner can be found.
