Cold Springs Cemetery: Placerville

Cold Springs Cemetery HPI Seek finder Team

August 4, 2012, Saturday: I had the privilege of being invited to a very wonderful BBQ in Placerville on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Mention of a cemetery nearby prompted me and my friend’s attention. Off we traveled to check it out. Upon arrival at the cemetery, I felt very peaceful. As we approached the entrance gate, a woman greeted us and told us not to smoke near the graves as it is very dry and can cause a major fire being out in such an open wooded area.

We thanked her for informing us and I asked if she lived nearby. She happened to live right next door to the cemetery. When asked if there were any peculiar things that went on there, she said that out of the past eighteen years she has lived there that all was peaceful and quiet. No restless spirits roaming around there, however, I did ask a few more questions for “Susan”, and found that there were a couple of beautiful stories involved with this cemetery as well.

The ground in this cemetery is very soft to tread upon. I found out that mother deer come to have their offspring there and tend to hide their young in this peaceful little cemetery. There are approximately 75 graves at the Cold Springs Cemetery. They were all transferred over to this land some time ago. When asked about the deaths, we were told by Susan that most of the deaths were during the pioneer trail days. Susan went on to tell us that there was one lone grave that was not transferred to the Cold Springs Cemetery. It was a woman’s lone grave. It was not moved because it was at the request of an anonymous gentleman.

He made stipulations that her grave stay under the oak tree and never to be disturbed. I asked if this was the husband or family member of the woman and was told there was no relation. As the story unfolded, this woman’s husband had died and she was a widower. During her lifetime, the anonymous gentleman always made certain that the woman was financially taken care of unbeknownst to her. He obviously knew that no matter how much he loved her, he could never have her heart because it belonged to only one man, and so he spent the rest of his life “loving” her from afar. Such a haunting love story……”

A MESSAGE FROM PAUL DALE ROBERTS:
Thank you Kara for telling us this story. This cemetery was very tranquil and peaceful. Most cemeteries I have been to, there is no activity, but there are those few that do have some activity. I can only wonder if all of the entities have moved onto the light or what Jon theorizes that perhaps only the tombstones and grave markers were moved and the bodies of the deceased were left at the original cemetery. I recently received a report that Jon’s theory may be correct because at the location of the original cemetery, people claim there is activity. I only can hope that this theory and these reports are incorrect. If they are correct, we may need to investigate further and find out the truth about Cold Springs Cemetery. This case is pending further clarification.

James Rubino (aka, the good “J.R.”) is a single father who works full-time, raises two beautiful children (Alisa and James 2.0) “on his lonesome”, and somehow still arises long before dawn to gleefully devote himself to his (often-futile) hobby of creating original fantasy comic books such as Yumishira- Oriental Space Lily and the science fiction anthology series Tales From The Seventh Galaxy (among others!).

He collects lighthouses, loves all things Aurora, and occasionally mines for cheap copies of old comic books on Ebay!
…And if you’re reading this he thanks you for taking the time and having the interest!

Special Note: James Rubino is a contributor to my 3rd book: HPI Chronicles – Beyond the Norm.
