If you squint hard, you might see the red gate

Old Addicks Cemetery, also known as Blue-Light Cemetery for the glowing blue gasses that some have observed above the graves, is the original location of the Addicks Methodist Church.  The church was moved and a new cemetery established at the northeast corner of Hwy-6 and Patterson Road.

This is another difficult-to-find cemetery where a GPS would be invaluable. Roughly, take Eldridge Parkway north from I-10, past Patterson Road and turn left on War Memorial Drive. Continue about ¾ mile and turn left on Sullins Way. This is where it gets difficult; follow Sullins down and around until you get to a large picnic area on the right side of the road and a set of pavilions on the left (we need approximate mileage and any park landmarks as may be available). Park on the right back at the tree line behind the picnic area and look for an opening leading to a red gate (see photos 1 & 2). From the gate and through the trees, you’ll see a large pasture (see photo 3). On the far side of the pasture and barely discernable in the center of the photo is the fenced in cemetery. It is locked and you’ll need to get permission if you want to enter. The park office is located at the end of Zorn which is the first left off of War Memorial after entering the park.
