Apparently a grave which is adorned with a statue of the deceased is said to cry. And it isn’t condensation either, really.

No, it is the old statue of Mrs. Kelly, I grew up in Kosciusko. She was an old school teacher from the late 1800s. Many stories to this “Haunted” place. Do your homework before you go!
Mrs. Kelly was her name. It’s been told that she murdered her kids but I was also told that her kids died from some disease in which she later also died. They were all buried around her inside a fence where her statue is. Her husband placed the statue on her grave so that she could watch the house. If you go the grave site, you will see the house that she is looking at. Me and some friends went there one night to see if it was true but we ran off after hearing some strange noises.

She did not kill her kids, and the Weapon” is a walking stick. 2 kids died after she passed. Please do reaserch before making false comments. There are many legends around Mrs. Kelly that are just made up stories.
