That is the main reason I believe that the bodies were moved and reburied. I am not sure, but I know that the building came down right after that.
On one Halloween night I remember being in the cemetery and went inside. It was either that choice, or stand outside alone in the dark,,,,,cluck cluck cluck....! When I went inside I remember feeling an erie sort of coldness...I got out fast and never went back to see it again.***
