Now, Caplinger was Faye’s maiden name and yes a few Caplinger’s are listed but she is not in this listing, nor are any other Nichols folks nor any Wests too. So perhaps Faye was removed to another location, namely the unidentified one in the picture which appears to be in Ohio and “near teh Serpent Mound” area…which IS in fact near Mifflin Twp in Pike County. Hmmmm…any other ideas as to attempting to locate this ellusive video captured cemetery? Far more interesting and eery to me was the photographs on teh trees…outlined in that red border and all bearing that same “symbol” that the very last frame of the video shows…what is that all about? The pics look old and weather worn…as if they have been there for awhile…could they have been placed there by the video recordee? …and were just made to look old….or was the red border and symbol simply pasted on each one to provoke the viewer to look more closely at them? The by far most shocking picture shown was that of the hand…eery even…I initially asked: geez, whya HAND when all of the other pics are of people…with faces? It then came to me that it was more liek an X-ray….and yes….the pic of the hand is of a 6 fingered hand!!! That did NOT fail to catch my eye immediately because….I was told a story abotu 2 years ago from my cousin Don, who lives in Lima, Allen Co, OH nearby….he told me that which no one else ever chose or bothered to mention to me about some of my Nichols ancestors and that is this: there was in our Nichols family one father and mother who had numerous children and of those children, 4 were born with 6 fingers on each hand…they also had an extra baby toe apparently…I chose not to name them here out of respect for their direct descendants but suffice it to say that they did reside here in OH and their “anomaly” is not exactly what I would call “commonplace”…especially not during their particular birth time frame….this was not at a time when , for example, Thalidamide was in use and caused extremity malformations. Needless to say, for me, seeing a Nichosl headstone, the hand anomaly pic and hearing it was nr. the Sepent Mound area peeked my personal interest…and I hope the vid owner will get back with me so that I too can go and visit and record all of the family headstones. I have my own “inkling” as to who teh “Raven Haired girl” is…I have seen her before in family pics and I’m quite certain that her family simply wishes that she remain anonymous…if she is who I believe she is then yes, she is indeed a prime example of how very strikingly NA her grandpa looked too…he was as handsome as she is gorgeous. As a footnote…I have personally visited the majority of the cemeteries in and around Highland County…but of those near Mifflin Twp…I have only yet visited 2…and neither one is the one in the video. Any further ponderings or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks bunches for the read….blessings to all~~~Laurie
