I have absolutely no proof of anything I'm about to tell you, but I can assure you it happened. I lived in Dothan in the late 1990's and was a teenager. I lived just a mile or two from Zion Rd. and the first time we found the cemetery, we were walking around, just goofing off. We had no idea it was a cemetery. It was daytime, and when we walked down the road and came to the end and realized what it was, we almost turned. However, there was a particular grave, a flat concrete one, with a big rock on the top. My friend was curious and moved the rock only to find that there was a hole so that you could see down into the grave. I have no idea how or why the hole was there, but you could see the shroud around the person that had been buried there, as well as an axe by his/her side.

Of course, being teenagers, we were super-alarmed and thought it was scary/awesome. So, we took others there to show them what we'd seen. On several occasions, we went at night and each time, the car we were in would die or wouldn't start. Usually, we'd park at the end of the dirt/grass road and walk to look at the graves. When we returned to the car, it wouldn't start and the headlights wouldn't come on. It would last for a few minutes before the car would finally start. On one occasion, we took brand new flashlights that wouldn't come on after we got off the road and near the graves.

A friend of mine asked if I'd take him to show him one night, and I said, "Yes. I'll show you, but your car will not start after you've parked it." He didn't believe me. Sure enough, we went, parked, looked around and went back to the car. It wouldn't start for at least 5 minutes. Although I never saw any apparitions, it definitely 'felt' like we weren't alone out there - and the stuff with the cars/flashlights was super creepy! In fact, we were reminiscing about it today and I decided to try and find a picture, which is how I found this site.

Thanks for your post.  Evertime I go to Zion I pick up something strange on video, photos, EVP.  I havent been to another graveyard where this happens.  Hope you enjoyed some of the photos I've posted here.  I have met people and heard stories of this area from back in the mid 1970's who tell similar tales.   There used to be a church there but it was burnt down by juvenile arsonist all related to the "devil worshipping" whch used to take place.  It's very special to have such a place nearby.  Always wondering what Ill capture next.
