Back on LI there is an old graveyard in a remote area accessible by what's barely a 1 1/2 lane twisty road.

It's one of the cited resting places of Mary Hatchett.

Legend says if you pull up to her grave and flash your high beams she will appear.

One night my buddy and I have a double date.

His GF always thought the legend was BS which of course it was but we decided to screw with her.

We hatched a plan and enlisted our buddy Alan who was like 6'3 and a couple hundred pounds.

Alan would go to the graveyard and lay on or near her grave, cover himself with leaves and when we pulled up he would pop up with a hatchet and bucket of fake blood to throw on the car.

So on the appointed night we pick up the girls, I had borrowed Moms white Benz because neither of our cars would fit us all.

As we are driving down the road a car comes flying at us doing what seemed to be 100 MPH on a road where 50 was dangerous.

We think nothing of it and continue on our way.

We pull up to the grave, flash the high beams, Alan does his thing, girls scream, we haul ass out of there and hit the local bar where we are to meet up with Alan.

He shows up, we all have a good laugh and I ask him what happened to the bucket of blood?

He says "dudes you nearly got me killed. I was laying there and a car pulled up, I could not really see well through my mask but it was white so I assumed it was you and jumped up. The car stopped then started to back up so I ran at it and threw the bucket of blood. The car stopped and the driver floored it right at me. I thought you were just playing it up and only managed to jump out of the way at the last second. As it was driving away I could see it was white, but it was not a Benz"

So somewhere out there on LI are a couple of people who believe the legend of Mary's grave is real.
