October first it begins.  The time when all things scary and creepy and unexplainable, weird stuff that knocks you just a little off-kilter….begins.  The veil between the worlds thins to its faintest version of itself and sometimes you get to take a peek to the Other Side.  Or they get to take a peek at you…

Over the years I’ve taken photographs in many cemeteries.  From Virginia City, Nevada, to Easton, Massachusetts.  I visited abandoned cemeteries in the Midwest in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.  I took pictures during a thunderstorm in Quincy, Illinois, where I was the only one inside Woodland Cemetery.  After a clap of thunder I felt a tap, tap, tap on my shoulder and when I looked to my right, I saw a tall figure of a man dart behind a big headstone.  I left immediately.  I was completely freaked out.

Here are a few photos (out of hundreds that I’ve taken over the years) of various cemeteries I’ve visited in New England, Illinois and California.

I leave soon for another place I’ve never been to. From what I’ve heard, it has the most fantastic cemeteries ever.  Just in time for the Spooky Season.
