I will be very disappointed if the Abel Blood stone has been vandalized or stolen. This is one reason why I don't list as many haunted locations as I once did, and I'm on the brink of listing <em>no</em> additional cemeteries. Though I'd like to provide locations for researchers, this information also seems to spark vandalism and thefts. Those people <em>will</em> regret what they've done, but by then it may be impossible to reverse the damage. I'm also sad because people's final resting places should be respected. Every time I receive a report like this, it increases my reluctance to add locations to this website, or indicate them in my books. Although cemeteries have been among our best research locations -- due to their accessibility and other factors that I list in my recent book about haunted cemeteries -- I think it's time for us to stop highlighting specific sites for vandals and thrill-seekers who have no interest in genuine research.

I spent some time talking with another woman who was also looking for it that afternoon. We found just a small pointed piece of a stone in a row that also had others with the last name of Blood. She had grown up in Hollis and this location was the best guess we came up with. I'm not from the area, so if someone familiar with the Abel Blood gravestone could check this out I would appriciate it.
