Something different and strange.

Found what looks like an empty grave in the woods today. This is in one of the areas I have been cutting firewood, and I know it wasn't here about a month ago. Located on a dead end logging road out in the trees off the road.
Don't know if it has been prepared to put someone in it, or if a body has been removed. Someone worked hard to dig this hole in the rocky soil and roots. Hard to tell by the pictures, but it looks like they even chiseled out the area where the head would be. I don't get why if they were trying to hide it, why the marker on the tree?

I emailed these pics to the local sheriffs department.

pretty cool ! a bit early for a Halloween thingy.
I suppose it could be for a Low budget Underground Movie.
Music Video,
or April fools prank.

Not deep enough for a real Grave & The makeshift wooden cross inside
suggests to me Children playing Vampire.

the carving looks too detailed for children though.

I'd be snooping allot there

Body snatchers in the area it looks like. Probably hunt'n for those gold fillings and crowns. Doubt they'll ever start a forum on that method of looking for gold.

I'd probably guess it has something to do with April Fool's. Some folks go to great lengths to pull one over on other folks.

Thanks All for your input....The Sheriffs office dispatch said they would get the pics out to their officers. That was yesterday, and they haven't contacted me for directions, so guessing they must think it's an April Fools joke also. The hole is only about two feet deep, but that's still a lot of work digging out rocks.

Near Easter...could be related.
Not aware of AMA in area.
Many meanings , from Ask Me Anything.... to ?

Lots of ways to leave sign . I disapprove of scoring/blazing trees today though.

I thought American Medical Association when I saw AMA. Sort of ironical for a gravesite though.

I did a google search to see what AMA means. Seems the main answer for internet slang is "Ask Me Anything", and next is "Against Medical Advice". Of course it could be someones initials, or a multitude of other things. :dontknow::dontknow:

As everyone should know, never wait till after the deed to dig your hole. What if someone should happen along? Now your digging two holes, and on and on...

...that just wouldn't do. ��

I see why the Sheriffs office never got back to me. They already knew about it, but you'd think they would have told me. I just found this article.
I see they removed the article. On March 8th A guy with the initials AMA supposedly dug the grave himself, then died from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
