Is Logtown Cemetery haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Logtown is the moved — the 'NASA took' that's the '64's cause, the 'rockets tested' that's the reason's name. The 'largest mill' is the boomed — the 'world's' that's the sawmill's rank, the 'Pearl River' that's the logs' road. The 'Possum Walk' is the split — the 'freed slaves' that's the settlement's root, the 'ferry crossed' that's the link's form.
The 'steps nowhere' is the left — the 'oak' that's the entrance's mark, the 'church clearing' that's the site's spot. The 'cemetery stays' is the kept — the '435' that's the graves' count, the 'reinterred' that's the moved's share. Logtown is the buffer — the 'Stennis' that's the space's name, the 'sacrifice' that's the history's word.
The file keeps Logtown: the moved town, the world's mill, the split settlement, and the kept cemetery.
Logtown Cemetery is the archive's Mississippi file — the town NASA erased for rockets.
