The graveyard that sits beside of the Mount Wesley United Methodist Church at 586 Mount Wesley Road in Telford, Tennessee isn’t remarkable, unless you count the gravesite of LB Smith (May 18, 1894 – July 31, 1904), a girl who died at the budding age of 10, and was said to cause as much mischief after her death as she did in life. After her family discovered her ghost’s pranks could turn quickly malicious, they had her gravesite covered with a concrete slab, or so the legend goes. This didn’t detour her spirit however, so a second layer of concrete was poured, but never spread out so that today it looks more like a gray mound sitting on top of the girls resting place. But, she is not at rest. Trapped in her earthly prison, her spirit rages with “the fires of Hell.” Even in the dead of winter, many have experienced, you can stick a finger down a hole in the concrete and feel an unnatural heat.
