I’m so glad to know there are fellow graveyard-lovers out there! I’ve loved them since I was little and always have been told I was a freak… Thanks for sharing everyone! I’ve LOVED your stories! And now for one of my own:

I believe it may have been pre-mentioned, but as I do not remember it I will post it myself:

In Savannah, Georgia there is a cemetery which was devastated by Sherman (headstones broken and strewn about, a heart-renching sight i’m sure!) and several of the headstones were bolted to the stone wall. Awesome place for pictures!

ps- There are an estimated 4,000 people buried there, and now it has a park and a elementary school built on top of it.

I grew up in and reside in San Diego, Ca. My mother used to take me a park in mission hills that had two rows of gravestones crammed together very tightly. It always spooked me out, and I have returned there many times to pay respects. I just found a website dedicated to it online, it is called the Calvary Cemetary. http://ssdcgraveyardrabbit.blogspot.com/

The cemetary where my husband’s family has their family plot was started by the burial of a small girl in 1883, Baby Paige was buried there by her parents after she died of an illness while they were traveling through. On some nights, it’s said a small girl, about three to five years of age, can be seen playing and skipping among the gravestones. Never seen her myself.

I live in Georgia. My cousin and her family wanted to get a headstart because we always have a great halloween party at her house and we do a spook house and a haunted walk through. So anyway, they were visting some nearby cemeteries for some ideas and there was one grave and it belonged to a little girl. It had her name and beside it it just said \idiot\. I cannot remember the little girl’s name but I thought that was kind of sad.

I have a fetish for paranormal stuff so I take ghost tours and such. Well this one time I was in Galveston, at this hotel…. Can’t remember the name. It may not have scared you butt I completely freak out. I saw a window wide open and it was pitch black, then the window slammed shut. I didn’t see anyone close it. Sorry it’s off topic but yeah

To Anthony Re4per…

That is impossible due to the fact that “Jack the Ripper” has never been identified. There were over 100 suspects, none of which were ever put on trial for the crimes.

Check out the Wikipedia page on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper

I’ve driven on ‘O’ street in Lincoln many times. Used to take the long way around just so that I wouldn’t have to drive that stretch at night. Always gave me the creeps.

In Lincoln, NE, Wyuka Cemetery overlooks a long stretch of “O” Street, the main thoroughfare and division between north & south. Mt. Calvary Cemetery overlooks a shorter section of “O” Street, across the street from Wyuka. So for about six blocks on “O” Street, you are driving between two cemeteries, both of which are on hills. You see gravestones, markers, statuary, and tombs looming above you as you drive, and it looks even creepier at night, when some of the larger statues are lit with floodlights.

I believe Charles Starkweather is buried there, as are many of his victims.

I used to teach at a Catholic high school named St. Michael’s, where they had stained glass windows, statues, and paintings of St. Michael standing on top of Lucifer, spearing him. So if you saw it the other way, with Lucifer on top, either you were mistaken or the sculptor was trying to make a point, perhaps saying that the Devil is winning over good?
