Hillendahl-Eggling (Blue Light) Cemetery Bear Creek to Langham Creek, Houston, TX 77084

"Great part of history. I wish it had better up-keeping out of respect for the deceased."

"It looks like all of the head stones have been moved. Pine saplings have been planted & it's grown over quite a bit. The fence has huge ant beds & spider nests all around it."

"An old cemetery located in the meadow leading towards Langham Creek. The cemetery is abandoned and overgrown to the point where the graves and tombstones are hidden to most eyes. Im very certain most people who pass here dont even know its a graveyard. Only redeemable quality about this place is a location marker for the trail."

"I flew my drone over the Hillendahl-Eggling (Blue Light) Cemetery near Bear Creek Park, founded in the 1850's. A fascinating piece of history, originally built by the pilgrims who colonized the Bear Creek area. This cemetery was located by a church, and it was part of a village that had to be abandoned after the pilgrims experienced constant flooding (go figure). Very interesting."

"Park by pavilion 8 and cross the street. Walk past the gate into the clearing and look for the chain link fence to the back right side of the clearing. The head stone's were mostly moved because of theft and vandalism back in the 70s and 80s and then they fenced it off. The blue light was not swamp gas but rather the head stone's emitting a glow due to Germans prefence of Labradite stone. It was the moon's reflection bouncing off the stone's."
