White Rock Garden of Memories Cemetery

Back in high school, the sobriquet for this cemetery was «The Witch’s Graveyard». We spend many a night here, drinking booze and scaring the shit out of each other.
The witch’s grave in a bit of a curiosity. She’s buried next to her husband, whom she outlived by 150 years. Perhaps the stone cutter made a mistake when carving her tombstone, or maybe she was a real witch who lived to be 182 years old. Also, there is a oddly large thorn tree that grows right between the witch’s grave and her husband’s, to the point that his tombstone has become lopsided.
One night my senior year, a non-​respecter came with us to the graveyard. When we got to the infamous grave, he began to jump up and down on it and talk smack to the grave. During a big jump, he got stuck by the thorn tree. He cussed and we laughed. He deserved it. We told him the witch got him for his lack of respect. He must have gotten scared too, because he got real quiet after that.
The next day, he woke up with Mono.
Coincidence? Or did the Witch touch him from beyond the grave and infect him?
Infection! Infection! Mono for the non-​believers!
