In an emotionally charged follow-up to our harrowing night-time adventure through "The Hills" of Talbot County, Georgia, our team makes a heartfelt return to the site of a significant discovery. This time, we're accompanied by a very special guest, 82-year-old Bill Edwards, a direct descendant of the very souls who rest in the long-forgotten Hollis Cemetery we sought so diligently.

Join us, alongside Bill Edwards, Dan the Historian, Cecil Young, and myself, as we journey 1.3 miles into the dense woods to unveil the mysteries of the Hollis Cemetery. Rediscovered by Cecil the day following our initial exploration, this hidden gem holds the legacies of the Hollis, Sale, Edge, and Barr families, whose stories are etched into the fabric of this sacred ground.

The air around us thickens with history as we tread softly among the graves, uncovering tales of loss, love, and legacy. Among the stones, we discover a poignant narrative—a mother and her three children, united in death by a sweeping sickness. Bill's presence adds a profound dimension to our exploration, bridging the gap between past and present, as he stands among his ancestors, whose memories are now resurrected through our discovery.

This video doesn't just document the rediscovery of a cemetery; it's a tribute to those who came before us, and a testament to the enduring bonds of family, no matter how much time has passed. Stay tuned for "Part 3," where we will extend our journey to the burial ground of the enslaved people of the Hollis plantation, further deepening our connection to this land's complex history.
