“Chester sniffs at the ground and whimpers. It’s a graveyard, a miniature cemetery with five tiny wooden markers close together in a horseshoe shape, and one larger one set apart, as if someone didn’t want that body buried with the rest.”
When Shelby’s parents divorce, she isn’t happy that it means she has to move 200 miles away from where she grew up. Her great-aunt Amelia has died, leaving a house at Cinder Creek to Shelby, her brother Brian, her mom, and her dog Chester. It’s a beautiful house, but old and kind of creepy at night. And oh yeah, there is also a weird miniature graveyard in the backyard.
Brian and Shelby dig up the miniature graves and find dolls. They take them inside and put them in a doll house that is an exact replica of their house. When the dolls start moving around the house and talking, Shelby and Brian try reburying them, but they won’t stay buried!
Shelby finds a journal written by the dolls’ first owner, Sadie. Shelby is horrified to hear that Sadie went through the same things Shelby is going through. The same things happened to Emily, the next girl to find the dolls. Emily ends up in a psychiatric ward because her parents and doctors think she is crazy.
Are Shelby and Brian going crazy? Or can they figure out a way to make the dolls quiet at last? Read and find out! Then comment in the section below!

FFRREEAAKKYY!!!! Yikes. Your right, fascinating and disturbing all at once!!!
Wow - you home schooled all the way through!!! How wonderful! That is our goal as well. We are absolutely loving it.
To be in charge of your own childs future is how it SHOULD be! They are yours after all!! :)
Thanks for sharing!
i dont know what to think either, although it seems so strange that the figure is positioned right over the word 'wife'!
very spooky indeed, thanks for sharing it!
best wishes to you at this time:)

I think that this is most likely the reflection from whoever photographed the gravestone. If you look the stone is polished in that section.
I believe in ghosts but I think this MIGHT be explainable - however, I could be wrong :-)
Yes, we've tossed around the idea that it may be a reflection of the photographer. But when you view the photo in real life, the perspective is off. That would make the gravestone approx. 12 to 15 feet high. Also, if there were enough light to reflect the photographer on the marble, then there should also be some reflections of the background, like trees and other gravestones. It's fun to guess, isn't it?

Definitely looks like a ghostly figure to me. That is pretty dang cool!
Very cool Kim!!!! I can totally see what you are saying about perspective being off. Wish I had grabbed that one! I did know it was you yesterday and I was so happy to come across your blog. I am a great admirer of your photos AND your art:) Have a wonderful Thursday sweetie! Love, Jamie

Neat photo -- it could very well be a spirit -- you don't have to convince me:)
I can see it, and it is a bit spooky. Neat!!
