Brent from, “Ghost Town Living,” has come across a graveyard in the mining town of, “Cerro Gordo,” where he is living now. Who knows how many more of these cemeteries, are still out there, yet to be discovered.

Please comment further about all the stacked rock walls crisscrossing throughout the hills in Siskiyou county that were built by the Chinese.

Yep! They shipped them back home! There is a Chinese cemetery near me it also looks extremely overgrown!

[@CaliforniaUnearthed]

I have another video coming out soon on the Yreka City Cemetery and that one us over grown as well.

@@CaliforniaUnearthed I was thinking maybe the Chinese cemeteries are overgrown because there isn’t anyone in there, but that doesn’t explain a town cemetery being overgrown, maybe it’s due to shitty management. That happened in Cherokee and it finally got a GREAT manager that really cares and makes it better than it ever was!

Probably to be back near their ancestors

@jeanstammet4627 I believe it us Chinese belief thra when you die your spirit is not at peace unless your body is buried in your honeland.
