you do not want to visit these spots at
night welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 most haunted graveyards
for this list we're looking at the
spookiest graveyards
along with other tombs and places of
burial in the world
number 10. stahl cemetery douglas county
kansas united states
this kansas cemetery has garnered the
name the gates of hell which should tell
you pretty much everything you need to
know about it
the graveyard has a long history of
associations with the occult
and many people began to believe the
rumors swirling around it
after a piece was published in the
university of kansas student newspaper
in 1974
saying that the devil visited stull two
times every year on halloween
and during the spring equinox spread
like wildfire
the legend went so crazy it could have
been a movie plot
launching more fiction like the pope
supposedly refusing to fly over the town
since then many visitors have reported
strange happenings at the cemetery
including lapses in memory from their
visits if that isn't creepy we don't
know what is
number nine glass nevin cemetery dublin
ireland
some of ireland's most famous figures
are buried at dublin's glasnevin
cemetery
the site is aware that they have a
reputation for being haunted with the
museum affiliated with it even offering
a ghastly glass nevin exhibit
some stories of hauntings are harrowing
but others are simply heartbreaking
one of the legends associated with glass
nevin is that there's a ghost of a dog
who stayed by the tomb of his master
captain john mcneill boyd and died of
starvation
now he continues to haunt the area we're
not crying you're crying
play dead sorry
oh what a cutie you should have seen him
number eight
rookwood cemetery sydney australia you
don't necessarily think of creepy things
happening in the land down under but
australia is home to more haunts than
you would think in particular
rookwood cemetery in sydney is notable
because more than a million people are
buried there
odds are at least a few of them have to
be ghosts with those kind of numbers
but the reason people associate rookwood
with the ghost realm is the two
spiritualists the davenport brothers
are interred there and are said to act
as a link between the world of the
living
and the world of the dead number seven
colonial park cemetery
savannah georgia united states savannah
georgia is known for being one of the
most haunted cities in america
and it's a reputation that's totally
justified the city is home to many
notable and historic cemeteries
all of which have their own stories of
hauntings but colonial park is the most
renowned
in the early 1800s many residents of the
city fell victim to the yellow fever
epidemic and were buried in mass graves
at colonial
over the years when space ran out plots
were moved around
and many bodies were exhumed and
transferred to other locations
the dead do not like to be displaced so
it's no surprise they stick around to
haunt the place
number six la recoleta buenos aires
argentina
some graveyards are said to be generally
haunted by spirits and others have more
specific stories associated with them
la recoleta in buenos aires is one of
the latter with a legend telling the
story of rufina cambaceres
a young girl who was purportedly buried
alive at the turn of the 20th century
days after her funeral an employee
allegedly noticed something amiss at her
gravesite and eventually found scratch
marks inside her coffin
the intricate tomb that is now there was
apparently commissioned by her parents
to commemorate what happened to her
number 5
highgate cemetery london united kingdom
considering london's long and storied
history
it makes sense that there are so many
locations in the city that are
associated with the spirit world
this place is at once a product and a
symbol
of victorian society it is a physical
survival
enclosed untouched and homogeneous
highgate cemetery is the burying place
of many noted figures
including karl marx and members of the
dickens family
but the graveyard isn't said to be
haunted by the ghost of communism
but rather by a spectral being known as
the highgate vampire
there have been many sightings of a
seven foot tall figure with
unsettlingly hypnotizing eyes and that's
enough for us to never visit after dark
welcome to my fault number four
resurrection cemetery
chicago illinois united states
[Music]
she was bright very bright like
illuminating
she was just walking very slow
[Music]
i remember thinking oh my god it's
resurrection mary
known as chicago's most famous ghost
resurrection mary has a reputation that
has lasted for decades beginning in the
1930s
reports were made of men picking up a
strange female hitchhiker
near the willowbrook ballroom and
resurrection cemetery soon
reports were coming in of a strange
spectral girl wandering archer avenue
resurrection mary some claim her spirit
is desperately searching for someone to
lead her back to resurrection
cemetery the young woman reportedly
wears a white dress
and is strangely silent always asking to
be dropped off at the cemetery
of course as the story goes this is a
figure who was actually killed along
that stretch of road many years ago
ghost hunter richard crowe asserts that
he is aware of dozens of reputable
stories of sightings of mary but when
you come up with a story like
resurrection mary
where we have dozens of reports spanning
decades i think you've got to go a long
way to trying to undermine
all that massive documentation number
three the valley of the kings
luxor egypt the world has long been
fascinated with the burial practices of
the ancient egyptians
and of course many eerie tales
associated with them have followed
wow it really does evoke this sense of
going down
into the subterranean underworld into
the blackness into the darkness
into eternity the valley of the kings in
luxor was long used as a burial site for
prominent egyptians
who were set to put curses on their
tombs in order to keep potential grave
robbers at bay
the tomb of tutankhamun better known as
king tut is particularly associated with
strange happenings
with many deaths being attributed to the
area because of the mummy's curse
which is said to strike down anyone who
disturbs his tomb
they also left him the kind of
protection other pharaohs would kill for
a curse that would make even skeptics
tread lightly number two westminster
burial ground
baltimore maryland united states you
probably will not be surprised to learn
that the cemetery where edgar allan poe
is buried is totally haunted
the westminster burial ground which is
sometimes referred to as the old western
burial ground
is home to many famous americans though
poe is the most prominent
though there are many tales of eerie
happenings in this spot one of the most
terrifying is the story of the skull of
cambridge
which is allegedly the skull of a long
dead minister that occasionally screams
unendingly despite being surrounded with
cement

number one greyfriar's kirkyard
edinburgh scotland
some ghosts are innocuous or even
friendly but the ghost of sir george
mackenzie of rosehaw

in edinburgh is said to be anything but
his place of burial is referred to as
bloody mackenzie's tomb
and there have long been stories of a
physically violent poltergeist residing
there
it doesn't help that the tomb has been
broken into and vandalized many times
over the years
with one instance of two teens actually
removing the skull from a corpse and
playing with it
