A haunted place, Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia, 2014

Some say Savannah is the “world’s most haunted city,” and if so, Bonaventure must be the “world’s most haunted cemetery,” inhabited by angels, cherubs, and lifelike renderings of the departed. In this image, I provide a haunting context for one of Bonaventure’s notable Victorian sculptural figures. I place the monument within the embrace of one of the many moss-laden oak trees that define Bonaventure’s unique character among the world’s burying-grounds. The scene is pure “Southern-Gothic.” It blends sentiment, remembrance, and mystery to produce a sense of haunted beauty.
