Rentie Grove Cemetery was established in 1904 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is located in the midst of what is now a nice residential area. A more or less forgotten fact about this century old cemetery is that some African American victims of the 1921 Tulsa race riot are said to be buried here. I was having dinner a couple of miles away from the cemetery with a friend when I learned about Rentie Grove and it's history. Luckily I had my camera with me and later after dinner we made a quick stop to take a few photos. Actually, more than a few, more like 30 so I will share the best ones. Please note that on a few of the graves are candles. Most of the orbs are well above the ground, but a few are not. The orbs are a little faint and I found I needed to adjust the screen of my laptop for best viewing.

I seemed to get the most orbs close to the grave with the yellow flowers.

Faint orb at top of center.
Orbs to the right and left above and one on the ground to the right of yellow flowers.
I wonder if the orb to the far right is the same one that is in the previous photo just to the right and above the yellow flowers.
