Bodie Cemetery 1

I recorded this video in the Bodie Cemetery. Bodie is the most famous ghost town in the West and draws many tourists from around the world. This was the first time I visited the cemetery and, while I didn't see any ghosts, there was an almost palpable feeling of sadness, but that was probably me thinking about all the graves that were neglected and long ago turned to dust.

There were many graves where whatever markers there were made of wood and very little remained of them other than a surrounding metal fence to mark their boundaries. This video is a tribute to those forgotten souls.
