Ammon Cemetery

Idaho · United States · Cemetery

There is a boy in the tree. Stop the car or get out and you cannot see him. Drive slowly enough and he waves.

Visitors to Ammon Cemetery near Idaho Falls have argued for years over whether the figure in the tree is a girl or a boy. Someone who went back repeatedly over six months is clear about it: it is a boy.

The rules are specific and they are the reason this account is unlike most cemetery reports.

Stop the car, or get out of it, and you cannot see him at all.

Drive slowly past and he will wave. Sometimes he comes down out of the tree and runs up to the fence.

He has never been seen past the fence.

That boundary is the detail worth recording. Whatever people are seeing, it keeps to the cemetery, it responds to movement rather than to attention, and it disappears the moment anyone tries to look at it properly.
