Glowing Green with Envy. The glowing tombstone of Pottsboro texas.

I hardly combine legends into my cemetery trips. Outside of my cemetery trips I am an avid lover of ghost stories and the paranormal. But this time the legend behind a tombstone overshadows all . So on my trip up in the Preston area Peninsula of lake texoma I had to stop off and see this creepy little ditty of a tombstone located in Georgetown cemetery .  The tombstone is a typical one ,  A granite obelisk from the olden days marking the burial place of prominent people. Its interesting because its said to glow at night. When my mother was a teenager, shes 46 now she had went to see it and told me herself it was glowing. The  creepiness of the stone no doubt comes from the epitaph of one of the residents (Julia Ann Campbell  Grant ) which states""Take warning by me young people as you pass by. Casta glance at this and think as you are now, so once was I. But now I am lying the cold, cold grave." It is a creep reminder of deaths breathing on our necks. But the real fun of the stone is its glowing prospects. While searching for information on the glowing stone I found what i think is an excerpt from an article on the glowing tombstone from the Herald Democrat . it states "Pottsboro,Tx(small town next to Denison)- Just reading the epitaph on this

tombstone in the daytime is enough to scare the strong at heart. Add a full
moon and a greenish glow around the granite, obelisk-like stone and you have
yourself a scary tale.
The glowing tombstone in the southeast corner of Georgetown Cemetery has
been scaring teen-agers for decades.
Stepping up to the gravesite north of Pottsboro, lillies surround you with
their eerie pointed leaves. A dark, heavy-limbed blackjack oak tree hangs
overhead like a big protector of the mysterious legend.
The tombstone serves as the marker for four graves, three of which are
J.H. Grant, who died in 1876; W.B. Grant, who died in 1871; and James
Campbell,who died in 1881. But the frightful inscription on the four-sided
marker below the name of Julia A. Grant is what scares the devil out of
youngsters who read it.
Julia, wife of W.B. Grant, was born in Anderson County, S.C., on March 27,
1843. She died on July7, 1906, and was buried there next to her loved ones.
Her tombstones reads, "Take warning by me young people as you pass by.  Cast
a glance at this and think as you are now, so once was I. But now I am lying
in the cold, cold grave."
On brightly lit nights, when the full moon is high overhead, the tombstone
glows a putrid green. Enough to illuminate the dark shadows below the big
oak in that eerie light.
When parreby braved the dark to read the inscription, standing in the glow
of the tombstone, creaking limbs and blowing leaves amplified the sounds of
the night. Cattle off to the south rustle in the woods and the youngsters
scatter for their cars and make a dash. Ol' Julia has done it again.
This glow of the tombstone will remain shrouded in mystery, because the
cemetery's gates close at sundown and you're not supposed to be in there
after dark.

I Have never been to Georgetown cemetery after dark to actually see this phenomenon. when my mother went back in the 1980s it was different then. Now the cemetery closes at dark. I would love to see it but at the same time i also love my freedom to much to be caught trespassing. I might also add that the tree mentioned in the story above has been cut down. we had visited about three days ago in the daytime. it was my second trip in the daytime of course to see the tombstone. I was 16 at the time and the epitaph seemed really ominous to me. now that I
 am more worldly of stones and epitaphs I understand a bit better. one things for sure Mrs. Julia does remind us to enjoy life.
