Been there twice with a friend and seen it glowing. Other times it never did. I have another 3 friends that have been there also (this website is what brought up the discussion) and they also have seen a glowing headstone. This was years apart and we weren’t friends at that time so their experience was totally separate from mine. My friend and I were actually in a car both times and we did not have to stand in front of the headstone or even go into the cemetery. it is across from a recreation area used for trail riding and a large parking area and It had nothing to do with what angle we looked at it as we tried several all from within the car of course! It still glowed!
my brother teaches science. it’s the mineral the stone is made of that make it glow. it absorbs the sunlight during the day making it glow
