    Not bad, 3 churchs claiming a man who allegedly sold his soul to the devil.It’s all about attracting suckers to the Delta to spend they money.Less work than a tent revival.

    @marklouisjordan… don’t think people have heard this story, it goes sumpin’ like this; there was more than one jealous man (RJ was a pussy hound) involved w/ his death, poison whiskey did him in, and the jealous men had his body drawn and quartered which may be the reason for the different grave sights…just another crazy story about RJ…rest in peace or pieces…

    Thanks for posting this. It’s unlikely that Robert Johnson was poisoned with strychnine, since it kills in a matter of hours, at the most. Most likely he was poisoned with arsenic, or something else. He could have survived it if there had been a doctor. There’s a third gravesite, in the graveyard of Little Mt Zion Church, just north of Greenwood. This might be the most likely gravesite, because of the proximity to where he died, and eyewitness accounts, including one from the gravedigger’s wife

    i was recently doing research on my genetic heart condition (marfans sydrome) and it stated they were 100 percent sure Rj had the same in which case he would have died from an aortic aneurysm. im 25 and i just had a aortia replacment, Rj died at 27 exactly where i would have if i didnt have surgery, make sence to me.

    i am from the delta,rosedale of crossroads fame. i just got back from visiting and went to all three graves. i met steven lavere in greenwood at his restaurant. he is the foremost authority of r.j. and has devoted years to research. seems that the real site is the one that is NOT shown in this vid. it was the one i was not gonna go to til i met him. he said i must go out there. it was just over the tallahatchie and yazoo river bridges,in a curve of the road. little zion church. it was the one.

    The third site at the Little Zion Church just NW of downtown Greenwood is considered by locals to be the real site where RJ’s bones are buried. There is a marker stone near a large tree at the rear of the graveyard just off the highway. By chance I happened to meet Mark Hoffman, ‘Wolf’s biographer there last week. He told me his and other researches all suggest this is the REAL grave. I got the strongest vibe from this site too – just felt like RJ was in the place – very heady and spooky.
