Description
this is the lake Charles graveyard. It is been taken care of The Daughters of the confederacy.
Lot of old graves here and many fight in the war between the states.
Some was moved here because of a gambling place wanted to build on a site that had some graves. That sad to hear stuff like that. But the gambling place is closed down today have been for a long time.

Oh my mistake there is someone to watch out for them sorry. It's so sad they were disturbed like that I agree :) Cathy xoxxoo
Great capture and interesting narrative - made me think of the movie, 'Poltergeist' where the developer moved the headstones but not the graves
may have happen here too. I would not put it past them.
A fine photo of this old graveyard.I guess that the casino lost its' gamble and went out of business.
you moved the gravestones and not the bodies, why?? my thoughts are with Mikes.. nice pic.
Gambling place luck ran out...serves they right. Aloha
Nice shot of that old grave yard.. It always gives me the chills:)
I am totally against gambling. Glad they failed.
a very disturbing picture for the remains of the tombs of a cemetery!
A very sorry sight .
I'm glad the gambling place didn't make it. Got what they deserved.
cool!
A wonderful historical site my friend. We had a period in Australia where all the pubs filled their rooms with poker machines........I'm so glad to report that most of the establishments have reverted back to their traditional ways!
Interesting find of historical significance....
Great work on this capture Jock, and I agree with you on what a travesty it is to disturb a graveyard for a business concern.
Cannot believe they disturbed the graveyard. x
Interesting erland
to disturb the deaths because of a gambling is a shame! the cemetery looks lost and the graves very old! ;o)
This is indeed a sad sight and I am glad the gambling lost.
Louisianan graveyards are amazing!!! Your picture of the disrepair is truly sad.
So goes humanity. Very sad to see the neglect permeating all of society!
What a shame the graves have been vandalised - no respect for the dead !! Nice shot Jock.
Nice shot. In my town, someone wanted the land where an old cemetery stodd and just moved all the graves to another cemetery. They then built a house there. I would not want to live in it.
Super shot Jock :)
Interesting foto, Jock. Strangest cemetery I've ever seen, maybe because it doesn't look crowded like most.
better they move the graves than simply build on top. nearly 2000 graves here was built over by streets. only when the streets were under replacement did they find the graves, of course they were known about years ago, but they paid no heed
great shot
A cool capture of this old cemetery, Jock! What a travesty to disturb them to build a casino - glad it failed.
Even cemetaries are not sacred when companies want to build .. very cool shot of this rather somber looking cemetary ..
It saddens to see the empty crypts and damaged headstones. Actually it makes me sick!!!!! :o(
