Haunted Windy Graveyard / Buried Alive! My great-great grandmother, ill for quite some time, finally passed away after laying in a coma for several days. My great-great grandfather was devastated beyond belief as she was his one true love and they had been married over 50 years. They were married so long that it seemed as if they knew each other’s innermost thoughts. After the Doctor pronounced her dead, my great-great Grandfather insisted that she was not. They had to literally pry him away from his wife’s body so they could ready her for burial. Now, back in those days they had backyard burial plots and did not drain the body of its fluids. They simply prepared a proper coffin and committed the body (in its coffin) to its permanent resting place. Throughout this process, my great-great grandfather protested so fiercely that he had to be sedated and put to bed. His wife was buried and that was that. That night he woke to a horrific vision of his wife hysterically trying to scratch her way out of the coffin. He phoned the doctor immediately and begged to have his wife’s body exhumed. The doctor refused, but my great-great grandfather had this nightmare every night for a week, each time frantically begging to have his wife removed from the grave. Finally the doctor gave in and, together with local authorities, exhumed the body. The coffin was pried open and to everyone’s horror and amazement, my great-great grandmother’s nails were bent back and there were obvious scratches on the inside of the coffin. ........Have a safe and Happy Halloween! ........John Michael Piper I found this story and I thought I would put / it with my Halloween graveyard picture…..

I spend a lot of time wandering around the cemeteries in Edinburgh,call me morbid, but they are places of calm and reflection, fascinating too, there are so many grand tombs and headstones to the wealthy and noted gentry of the city in bygone days. The weathered stone is a work of art and I have stacks of pictures, all variations on a theme, this is a sample.

the breeze brings memories of the dead, chats and chortles, but work is done until daylight puffs out because there are tombstones to clean and faces to paint, children to decorate in halloween, in skulls or flowers, so let the men debate sports and politics while the engines keep churning to keep traditions from falling out of favor, where most traditions would go if it wasn’t for a mother to protect them, unless they have to do with killing or medals, at which time a man is only too glad to snap to attention; but for making the cemetery into a flowery display, fuck that, the males congregate around the results from the futbol or the scandals in the Mayor’s office, unless it is their woman, their mother maybe, or hopefully Heaven forbids it their daughter, lying in memory beneath the stones, under the dusty soils and broken shreds of last year’s celebrations of the day of the dead, in which case the man turns poet and bends to the task, choking tears and coughing for breath . . .

Leicester, Welford Road Cemetery. Welford Road Cemetery is listed as a Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest (Grade II). The Cemetery was opened in 1849, three years before the first of the Burials Acts of 1852-57. It was designed by J R Hamilton and J M Medland. The core of the site contains many fine 19th century monuments. Although intended as a private burial ground for dissenters, provision was made for Anglicans in response to public pressure. The 17 acre cemetery was opened on 19th June 1849. In 1870 the brickyards and plaster pits to the north were purchased to enable the creation of a 13 acre extension in 1894. Many of those who, in the 19th century, significantly contributed to the growth and development of Leicester such as leading industrialists, philanthropists, members of the local council, architects and religious leaders lie buried here.
