You should’ve distrub the graves

There’s an old abandoned haunted house that has just of an old abandoned pond behind it. People think it’s the house that you need to be worried about but instead it’s really the pond. The house was built first in 1805 and the pond was built much later. People say that families have kept dying over the years of drowning especially after the pond was made. This pond is always foggy and it’s always been creepy. There are so many theories about this pond. That a family dug up a graveyard to make it. The Jones built the house in 1805 but over the years being hot and they wanted something fun for their children. Jack and Rita the family had lived in this house for years. In 1820 they were able to build this pond the reason they took so long was because they built the house in front of a graveyard. A family graveyard no less, fortunately where they built the house the graveyard didn’t get disturbed. However, wanting to build the pond they would have to dig up the graveyard and distrub it. The wife Harrietta was against all of this said, “Frank, there is no way I’m allowing you to disturb our family graveyard. It was close enough with the house but I will not allow you to make a pond.” Frank was upset and distraught about this because all he wants to do is make his children happy. He’s been wanting a pond in the back yard for the children because of how hot it’s been. It’s been over 100 degrees everyday in the Louisiana heat. Harrieta let him know that they didn’t have to man power to help and the money has been scarce the mills are almost done and Frank will be out of the job soon. Frank said, “I’ll be getting a promotion the mills are fine. I also don’t like my children seeing so much death. A graveyard is no place for a child.” Harrieta stay, “well you should have thought about that before building a home by the graveyard.” Frank, then gets upset saying, “ we had no choice it was a cheap lot and we needed a home. This is our family home near my families graveyard. We can move the bodies and the graveyard else where.” Harrieta felt scared of the thought her pale features became even more pale like she saw a ghost, her red lips went pale, and her green eyes went black. “Are you serious?” In disgust. “ We cannot move the bodies and the tombs stones somewhere else that is just insane.” “I will not be apart of that or allow it.” Frank said, “well, it is my family graveyard so I’ll do what I wish with it. I already made up my mind it’ll be done tomorrow.” Harrieta in fear, sadness, and shock looked at him turned then walked away.
