It’s fairly common for ghost hunting groups to spend a lot
of time in cemeteries. People who ghost hunt usually like spooky old things and
they are also great places to research history and individuals. Birth and death
dates can be helpful, and if you know what you are looking for, you can often
find them on headstones. People also tend to assume that cemeteries are
automatically haunted.
In my opinion, this is usually not the case, though there
are exceptions to the rule. Ghosts tend to hang out in places that they had a
strong connection to while they were alive. Homes, work buildings, hospitals
etc. seem to be the places that attract ghosts the most. While it’s possible for
a ghost to be hanging around, I don’t see it as a very likely scenario most of
the time.
Do you think cemeteries are haunted?
If anyplace is haunted, I'd think it would be a cemetery.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly creepy - have you ever hung out in one at night?
ReplyDeleteI think an OCCASIONAL haunting can take place in a cemetery but mostly not. I tend to take your view, Alyson about homes and such beomg a better candidate.
ReplyDeleteThough, there are somewhat nonhuman things that hang out sometimes. I mean, if you were an evil thing that wanted to be somewhere where a lot of open, curious people would be, it would be the perfect place.
