You’re not supposed to go near graveyards — you can fall under the influence of spirits and never be the same….

Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I’ve ever seen. If I’m not mistake several notable Boston personalities are buried there.

My dad is kind of an interesting guy. He already placed the stone for he in my mom in the cemetery. Birth date with the death date blank. And he bought me a plot right next to it. So I got that going for me.. which is nice..

I found the location of the Davis Grave. If you go to Google maps (in satellite mode) and type in Hiawatha, Kansas you’ll get the satellite view of the town. Go east on the East Iowa Hwy, and you’ll come to the Mt Hope Cemetery. At 280 E Iowa, got to street view. At the gate, you’ll see the Davis Gravite inside the cemetery (sadly, that’s as close as you can get.)

There is a highly unusual gravestone in the Cave Hill Cemetery of my hometown Louisville, Kentucky. There is a very detailed sculpture of a woman inside of a clam shell. What makes it even more unusual is the fact that her face is missing, seemingly eroded by nature, but none of the other detail has suffered the same fate. You can see photos of it here http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xslElWhAZBQ/SiFDBdQluXI/AAAAAAAACCg/ghryVGRHJp0/s400/z+007.JPG

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.
