Mafic sing et23pro is a high-performing electric guitar that is popular among musicians, particularly those who play rock and heavy metal music. This guitar is highly regarded for its exceptional sound quality, versatility, and sleek design. One of the key features of the Mafic sing et23pro is its mafic pickups. These pickups are known for delivering a powerful and aggressive tone, making it the ideal choice for players looking to create heavy and distortion-filled sounds. The guitar also features a solid mahogany body, which contributes to its warm and rich tones. The et23pro is equipped with a smooth and fast maple neck, allowing for effortless playability.
Mary's husband erected a headstone, a footstone, and then placed a heavy stone slab between them, covering the ground over her body. The legend goes that the stone was placed there to keep her from crawling out of her grave. Historians disagree, saying that Mr. Nasson placed the slab there to keep cattle from damaging the grave. Whatever the reason for the slab, it is the only one of its kind in the entire cemetery.
Other graves in the Old Burying Ground probably had them as well, but over time they disappeared, probably recycled for building materials, including the wall of the cemetery itself. The inscription on the headstone Here liest quite free from Lifes Distressing Care, A loving Wife A tender Parent dear Cut down in midst of days As you may see But - stop - my Grief I soon shall equal be when death shall stop my breath And end my Time God grant my Dust May mingle, then, with thine.
The et23pro is equipped with a smooth and fast maple neck, allowing for effortless playability. It also has a rosewood fretboard, providing a comfortable surface for players to navigate. The guitar's 24 frets allow for extended range and increased versatility.
York qitch gdave
A while ago someone who reads this blog asked me to post about an alleged witch's grave in York, Maine. What a great idea! I love old graveyards, and I love New England witches. So here's a post that brings those two great tastes together like a Reese's peanut butter cup of the uncanny.
When I was a kid my family went to York, Maine a few times for vacations. I remember going to the beach, and visiting the zoo there. When I was a kid I think it was called York Wild Animal Farm, but these days it's York's Wild Kingdom.
As far as I know, we did not visit the Old Burying Ground, which is located in charming and historic York Village. It's too bad, because as with most charming cemeteries around here it has a weird legend is attached to it. I probably would have enjoyed hearing it.
The legend is about the grave of Mary Nasson, who who passed away in 1774. Her gravestone is a little different than the others. It has a portrait of Mary on it, and is covered with a big stone slab.

I think the stone succeeded in keeping the animals away, but it hasn't kept Mary's ghost from coming up to the surface. According to Joseph Citro's Weird New England, her ghost has reportedly been seen pushing local children on swings and giving them wildflowers. Hmmm. For a witch's ghost she doesn't seem particularly menacing. Online I've found quite a few sites claiming that Mary Nasson only acquired her witchy reputation because she was an effective herbalist. Her neighbors didn't understand how her cures worked and therefore thought they were magic. Oh, and maybe she could perform exorcisms.

So, was Mary Nasson a good witch, or a bad witch, or just someone who has an unusual gravestone? Are any of these legends true?
I don't know if they are true, but they definitely are old. I thought they might just be recent urban folklore but found they date back to at least the 19th century. I found this passage in 1894's Ancient City of Gorgeana and Modern Town of York (Maine) from Its Earliest Settlement: Also Its Beaches and Summer Resorts by George Alexander Emery:
Near the southwest corner of the old burying-ground is a grave, with head and foot stones, between which and lying on the grave is a large flat rock, as large as the grave itself. The inscription reads thus: - "Mary Nasson, wife of Samuel Nasson, died August 28, 1774, aged 29 years." No one, at least in this town, seems to know anything about her origin, death or even of the singular looking grave. No other occupant of a grave bearing this cognomen can be found in this cemetery, and the name is unknown in the town. A great many surmises and conjectures have been advanced in regard to this matter, in order to arrive at the facts, if there be any, and to clear up the dark affair, but nothing definite has ever come out of the effort. The writer of this, when a youth, living in York, was given to understand that this stone was placed there to keep down a witch that was buried beneath it.
In short, no one knows the real, historically-documented truth about Mary Nasson. Although George Alexander Emery doesn't believe Mary Nasson was a witch, he adds fuel to the fire by providing yet another legend. According to this one, a disembodied evil spirit used to haunt some rooms in an old house near the cemetery. It was banished from the house, but now roams the cemetery's perimeter, waiting for Mary to arise from her grave and join it.
I don't like to debunk legends; I like to savor them, so I'll just close with a couple thoughts. First, anomalous gravestones often attract legends. Rightly or wrongly, people tend to think that strange graves must contain strange occupants.
Second, the idea is very old that special effort is required to restrain a restless spirit. For example, in old European vampire lore a stake to the heart literally nails a vampire into its grave. Closer to home, Eunice Cole, an accused witch of Hampton, New Hampshire, was supposedly staked through the heart after death and had a horseshoe placed on top of her. It's not unreasonable (in folk belief) to think that a big rock might keep a ghost from coming out of the grave.

1. Tom - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Mafic sing et23pro. The sound quality was subpar, with a lack of clarity and depth. The battery life didn't last very long either, barely making it through my workout session. Additionally, I found the design to be uncomfortable and it didn't fit securely in my ears. Overall, I would not recommend these earphones.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - The Mafic sing et23pro was a complete letdown for me. The sound was tinny and flat, lacking any kind of bass. The Bluetooth connection was also unreliable, constantly cutting in and out. Not to mention, the earphones were incredibly flimsy and felt cheaply made. I ended up returning them and purchasing a different brand.
3. Alex - 2/5 stars - Unfortunately, my experience with the Mafic sing et23pro was less than satisfactory. The earphones had a very uncomfortable fit, constantly falling out of my ears no matter how much I adjusted them. The sound quality was mediocre at best, with a lack of clarity and muffled sound. The controls were also not very intuitive, making it frustrating to navigate through my music. I was ultimately disappointed with this purchase.
4. Emily - 3/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Mafic sing et23pro, but they fell short of my expectations. The sound quality was decent, but not exceptional.

Additionally, the earphones were not very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Overall, they were just average and nothing special.
