Çanakkale, Yenice (folk tale)

The Lonely Cuma Cemetery

Folklore — not a documented case

A tale built around the claim that the gravestones of a woman who died in 1967 and her infant, standing side by side, gradually merged together on their own over the years. Over the years it turned into a local urban legend; there is no scientific study or official confirmation.

Two gravestones in a cemetery in Çanakkale's Yenice district stand at the center of this local tale. According to the story, the separately placed gravestones of a woman who died in 1967 and her infant gradually drew closer to each other over the years, eventually merging into one.

The stories in this section are folk tales and legends; they are not verified, real events and should not be confused with the rest of the archive.
