Call me crazy but I enjoy wandering through them, sitting on the benches and just doing nothing. I read of some who will bring a book inside and sit at their loved ones graves and read to them. It's very peaceful and gives me time to myself to ponder out problems or just to let my mind wander.
Myself, I go in and clean up some of the headstones, those who are in rough shape and go without care.
Afterwards I'm always leaving with a sense of peace, like I made a difference in someones life.. well afterlife.
So the question is is.. do you go into cemetaries, if so why and what do you do there?
I visit the cemetery that my dad and several of my other relatives are buried. I like to sit down in the middle of their plots (they're buried fairly close together) and talk about things that have happened to myself and the family members who are still living. I like to think my deceased family can hear me. It makes me feel a little better about things, especially if I've had a rough stretch of time lately.
I do that sometimes at my grandfather's plot. He died when I was little, but he always held a special place in my heart. When I'm really upset or something I'll write him a letter and or just sit in my room with my eyes closed and visualize his face and just talk to him quietly in my mind. Granted he never talked back but it was comforting knowing he was there with me.
Boo Brian is annoying as hell, mostly because he thinks he knows everything. Though it could just be his role on the show. hehe. I admit he's annoying, but he's a good investigator. I'd follow him in an investigation.. but I'd have a roll of duct tape with me . Sometimes silence is golden.. ya know? lol
I love to go into cemetaries because I love to look at the history and it is a creepy but exciting just to go in there. Sometimes I would go in there just to see my passed on relitives and just talk to them or pray if im going through a tough week or if something important is going to happen in my life!
At a young age I use to play in a cemetery when we visited a family grave of a recently deceased member. Decades later, I still feel at home there among my friends. I don't have a sense that at night I would feel as comfortable even though I have no problem looking in there at night.
So the question is is.. do you go into cemetaries, if so why and what do you do there?
I go to the cemetery to visit my parents & grand parents grave's, but I also like to wander and look around. I like to go to the older parts and look and I always wonder what the person was like. A lot of history can be found in cemeteries.
This is just my opinion, but I only look at cemetaries as a sourse of gothic art. Some of the marble statues and headsones are beautiful. But as for a "ghost" point of view, I do not really believe spirits stay in cemetaries or near thier bodies. I believe they either visit this plane from time to time, pass on to the next level, haunt thier paces of tradgedy or love, or simply have no clue what has happened to them or what to do.
I like going into cemeteries at night. I go there and lay down by my aunt, uncle and grandma. Sometimes I talk to them and other times I just lay there staring up at the stars.
I moved into a place that is next to a cemetery. The first nights I slept there I had dreams about dead people in black clothes with white lace collars, one woman in particular because I was in the bunk beside here. I say bunk in jest. It was eerie. On the funny side-Out my back door I saw a cat sitting near a headstone. I was happy to see cats in the neighborhood. The next day I looked out the back door and the cat is sitting there again. I waved and tried to call the cat over but it wouldn't budge. The third day I looked out to see the same cat sitting in the same spot. I got on my shoes to go out for a closer look. The cat is a small carved headstone.
