You're absolutely right with the term "grade school garbage".  I've lived in the area for over 50 years,  For what it's worth Calvin Blood was a civil war veteran with an unfortunate name.  He and his relatives are buried there.  It's in a place prone to fog on a dead end road hence all the spook garbage. It's a "drinking in the woods spot."  The cemetery has been so vandalized it's now heavily fenced and under constant surveillance. Google "Calvin Blood" for a head full of bullshit if you like.  Please leave Calvin and his relatives alone.
