Two girls were driving through this cemetery at Cloverdale, Indiana at around midnight, looking for the grave of one of their grandparents.

The driver put the headlights on full and swung them onto the stones, and what the beam found was a coffin under a tarpaulin, standing above ground, waiting to be buried.

It frightened them badly enough that they turned the lights off.

What happened after that is the account.

The coffin has a completely ordinary explanation. A burial cannot always take place the same day the grave is opened, particularly in a rural cemetery in winter, and a covered casket left overnight beside a prepared grave is normal practice that almost nobody outside the trade ever sees.

Which is precisely why it terrified them.

The cemetery is a public burial ground and is closed at night.
