smith graveyard (located in rensselaer) is referred to by locals as twin cemeteries. if you go to rensselaer and ask for directions, no one will know what you're talking about if you call it this. also, the legend is a romeo/juliet type story. one graveyard is for one family, the other for the other family, both of whom hated each other. a son and daughter fell in love, couldnt be together, and thats who you see crossing the road. theyre trying to be together. also, don't cuss when you're at this cemetery. there is a different spirit who will get angry if you cuss. im from rensselaer and had heard this before and i had a friend who cussed and ended up with scratches down her arms and no one knows why.
