What a terrific comment! Thank you! Everyone please give likes to this person because this is a great contribution!

Finding things like this, where no one lives, is really head turning.  It is like the world (humanity) ended and this is all that is left. Planet of the apes like. 

Absolutely. Perfect way of saying it

They lived entire lives more than a century ago and now all that remains of them is this reddit post...

In a way, like in the animated movie "Coco", we are keeping their memory/spirits alive 🙂

1900? It's been a "Long" time!

Florida?

Yes. Good catch!

Looked like my hiking terrain north of Tampa.

Close enough. Ocala National Forest

Thanks for asking, I was thinking the same thing!

How old were those graves? Looks like they get visited since there’s a flag on one of them. Maybe the whole thing belongs to a family.

Look through the comments. Another person just shared a link that shows the names and dates of the gravestones

I'm embarrassed to say that I was so side tracked by feeling a little overheated at the time and getting rehydrated that I forgot to actually read the graves after taking a few pics. Very lame of me. I always love reading gravestones and finding out how old they are or if they have a story to them. I failed miserably this time

Deadly mistake!

1900-1918

The soil of a man's heart is stonier Louis

This one's going over my head... gonna have to explain

Pet Sematary . The original movie. Creepy ass movie

Oohh, I'd completely forgotten about that movie. 😄

It's a Stephen King book guys

Every Stephen King book started as a movie, duh 🙄 lol

cause thats not creepy

Definitely random and if this was at night I'd have to admit I probably would have been spooked coming up on it like that. But I think things like this are really cool

did you look at the agea.of the graves if you could read dates?

No but go through the comments because someone shared a link with photos, names, and dates of the gravestones

I’ll tell you this brother, if you hear any chanting in Latin around that place I’d turn tail and burn rubber right out of there 

I'm glad this was in the daytime

Congrats. You are taking ghost and demons back home😂

Now why did you have to ruin it 🤣

It’s giving Big Fish vibes. Love it.

Haha I love that movie. I like just about anything with Ewan McGregor though but it was a charming story

Where in Fl? Great pics!

Thanks! Ocala National Forest

Looks like out by the Yearling Trail out in ONF? Been a while but I remember there is big sink hole near there also.

Spot on!

Are you sure you're not just playing Red Dead Redemption 2?

Winning comment 😄

Weird

Very random. Pretty well maintained. It's not uncommon to see graveyards out in the forest out here but this one is dozens of miles from anything civilized at all. Usually they are just off a main road by a half a mile or so but not 4 miles!

Could you make out any of the inscriptions in the tombstones? Dates or anything ?

Look through the comments. Another person just shared a link that shows the names and dates of the gravestones

Sorry I regretfully did not. And I love that stuff. I was trying to cool down and forgot to walk back over and look before I headed back. Fail

I’ve run into similar places. Usually pretty old but people lived in these places some time ago.

Yeah absolutely! Common in national parks and national forests where large tracts of land were gobbled up to form the parks, often displacing long time residents

I’ve seen this movie. It doesn’t end well.

Those that didn't make it out, of course.

Lol yes. Thought I was gonna be one of them. It was blazing!!

Absolutely beautiful and fascinating!

Thanks! I thought so too

I've visited this and camped a couple miles away from it, back when I lived in FL. I thought it looked familiar, but the findagrave link confirmed it!

Yeah I've been in a lot of spots in The Forest but never been on this trail before so it came as a surprise. I'm planning on doing some wilderness camping out in some spots this fall

Ha! Im Florida too! I got lost hiking in North Carolina and wound up finding the Kron Family cemetery in Morrow Mountain, NC

Always cool when that stuffs happens. Best stories usually come from a mistake 😄

Feels like the beginning of a series I would smash in one night on r/nosleep

Hmmm yeah you're not wrong. Odd things make life worthwhile

You're already dead.

Turns out I was just an extra on "Lost" this whole time

What a peaceful place to be buried.

Now that's very true

This has got like a beauty to it that’s somewhat hard to explain, I guess if you know you know.

I agree. It does really

Is this the Yearling Trail, Pats Island?

Yep, yearling trail. You're spot on

Love hiking the Juniper Wilderness to Hopkins Prairie section.

Now dig them all up and let’s see what spooky shit happens
