Cemeteries, which already inspire thoughts about various mystical events, have long been unkind fame. Associated with them are chilling legends and traditions. It is not for nothing that each nation has its own canon of burial, which is strictly observed for several centuries. All this is done so that the souls of dead people find peace and do not disturb the living. It is no coincidence that ghosts in the cemetery appear much more often than in other places, and many are sure that this is due to special energy.
Version of the appearance of ghosts
Researchers finding out the reasons for the appearance of phantoms believe that this is due to death, which is accompanied by physical and emotional pain. A dying person desires only one thing - the cessation of torment, and his soul leaves the body before death itself and remains in the living world.
Many believe that the restless souls that wander and frighten the living are a consequence of the burial of people not according to established canons. Ethereal visions can even indicate the place of their death, and then the found remains are interred according to all church rules, and grateful souls go to another world and no longer disturb people.
There is another version according to which entities appear due to the fact that the deceased left unfinished business.
Ghosts and ghosts: what's the difference?
By the way, many often confuse the terms "ghost" and "ghost". Experts say that ghosts are phantoms of the dead, strongly attached to a certain place. And ghosts, which are human souls that have appeared in the living world, can appear in different corners, so not every ghost can be called a ghost, but any ghost is a ghost. In our article, we are talking about entities that occur in a certain place (cemetery), so the meaning of the concepts in this case coincides. However, this does not mean that the phantoms of the dead necessarily look like people.
All researchers are convinced that souls remain in our world if something strongly holds them here. It can be love, resentment, hatred, desire for revenge or duty.
Vysotsky's phantom?
In 2015, all the newspapers were full of shocking headlines that at the Vagankovsky cemetery fans of V. Vysotsky, who came to pay tribute to the beloved artist, watched his ghost on the grave. A certain cloud separated from the tombstone, which later hovered over the flowers brought. An incredible phenomenon was captured on the cameras of phones, and upon a detailed examination you can see the figure of a man, however, experts are not sure that it was Vysotsky who appeared before admirers of his talent.
Chicago Cemetery Apparitions
Of course, every place of eternal rest has its own terrible stories that are passed down from generation to generation. Consider several famous mystical places where real ghosts appeared.
The Cemetery Resurrection Cemetery (Chicago) gained world fame after a girl who quarreled with her gentleman and ran away from a party in light attire and ball shoes, was hit by a truck at night. At the end of the 20s of the last century, the beauty was buried in the cemetery of the Resurrection, and since then in winter evenings an incorporeal image of the blond Mary appears, voting on the road next to the necropolis. Drivers say that under the wheels of cars an unexpectedly appearing lady throws herself in a light dress and even passes through a pile of metal.
Ghosts at Garden of Hope Cemetery
In the small town of Gauthier (Mississippi) there is a tiny necropolis "Gardens of Hope", on which a family of seven is buried. The brutal murder of his wife and five children was committed by the head of the family, who lost his job overnight. A man who shouted that he had been forced to commit a terrible crime by making voices in his head was hit by a car, and he lies in the same grave with those from whom he took his life. Since then, children’s voices have been heard at the Garden of Hope Cemetery, and in the evenings those who come to visit their relatives see ghosts dressed in old clothes appear. At the cemetery also lives the phantom of the grave digger, hit by a car many years ago. According to eyewitnesses, he greets all visitors with a smile.
Mysterious Graveyard
In the American city of Decatur, mysterious events that cannot be reasonably explained occur on Greenwood Cemetery. Experts claim that the whole thing is in the land on which many centuries ago there was an ancient burial ground. The Indians who lived here knew that burials should be arranged in places connected with the other world, as this helps the souls of the dead to get into another world.
And when the first colonists appeared, they disturbed the ancient churchyard, on which real ghosts are so often found. In the cemetery, which is recognized as a zone of paranormal activity, voices and mysterious whispers are heard, funeral processions suddenly appear and disappear, the dead are taken out of the graves at night, and then those who are late should not be knocked down.
The most mystical cemetery
Perhaps the most mystical necropolis in the world is the Bachelors Grove Cemetery in Chicago, on which various entities live. Researchers of the paranormal phenomena adore the abandoned cemetery, recording everything that happens here on the camera. So, in 1991, a unique photograph appeared, which shows a translucent figure of a woman sitting on a tombstone. Many watch as mysterious ghosts disappear into the air among the graves. Not only people appear in the cemetery at night, but also cars rushing at great speed, dissolving in front of eyewitnesses.
Ghosts in Toowoomba
Recently, in the small Australian town of Toowoomba, ghostbusters have been frequenting trying to capture the ongoing paranormalism on film. They come to the local churchyard, where in the last few years unexplained supernatural phenomena have been observed. The photos of ghosts that appeared in the cemetery literally blew up the Internet in 2015. Mysterious creatures walk among the graves not only at night, but also during the day, falling into the frame. For example, a female figure in a red outfit, surrounded by a clot of air, amazed visitors with the fact that she quickly moved around the territory.
Another frightening picture of a phantom with a white face and fluttering hair was taken during daylight hours. According to the author, a woman gliding through the air did not pay any attention to him until he took her picture. When the figure abruptly turned to the sound, the tourist was overwhelmed by real horror, but the sunlight helped him overcome his fear. As highly impressionable people admit, they even feel the touch of strange entities.
There are hundreds of similar stories when ghosts suddenly appear in the cemetery, however, official science does not comment on such facts. She does not explain the phenomenon of mystical powers, but she also cannot shrug it off.
