I have never wanted to spend the night in a grave yard. This would scare me to death. I believe in ghost and spirits. I am sure a grave yard is full of them. This is not a somewhere where I would camp out for the night. I would be scared of every little sound. I woulx not be able to handle it. I could not even stand living next a grave yard. This whole idea of camping in a grave yard is insane. I would never make it through the whole entire night.

We cannot do that in my area. The mortuaries are closed after 6PM in most place to prevent people from doing that. People have done some stupid things at grave yards, so we cannot do that.

LOl. I wanted to try that. Well, we actually have a rich person who build a house inside the cemetery. And guess what? His mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother is inside of it, having own separate rooms! And the house was so nice and very luxurious, having an entertainment room, bathroom, living room, and all the things that you need in a house. It even have a security guard and cameras that monitor the house for 24/7! What the?! Can you believe that? He uses it when he's having a vacation here, and he encourages his relatives to use it so it wouldn't get old.

Have you ever been inside? That sounds very cool actually. How was he able to acquire the land inside a cemetery?

I haven't seen the inside of the house personally, I just saw it when it was featured in our local TV channel. But I've seen the outside of the house pesonally, it has 3 floors, the 3rd is a rooftop, and a car parked outside. There's no problem because you could actually buy a lot, even how big it is. It depends on you how you want to use the lot. He build a house there because when he visits his parents he wanted to stay long and be comforted.

I'd love to! What is there to be afraid of? They were people who were just like you and I at one time if you think about it, with jobs, a home, families, sisters, brothers, a mother and father, pets, etc. I would find it very interesting and quite the adventure. Now don't you feel better?

I have done that so before. Here in our country most people stay in the cemetery usually during the Nov 1 and 2. Its sort of a national celebration. Considering the number of people, you will not be scared and obviously its sort of fun along with family and friends all around. But if I am all alone just for the sake of being there, that would be a different story.

I want to try at least once. I think it would be really cool. I mean, I would get really scared, but it would be a great experience. I like the adrenaline rush :P. The spooky lights on top of people's graves caused by decomposing bodies scare me to no bounds and my overly elaborate imagination would make the night really long. However, I still would like to try. I dont know why. Im insane.

hell no.. i will die in that grave yard before i see the morning light.. but i dont think i will be able to see ghost and spirits.. i think they wont be visible like that..however i have heard these stories about them and there is a possibility that i can see them.. that is the main reason why i am afraid.. however sleeping in a grave yard is an insane thing and i wont do it if someone says if he or she promises me to give million bucks..hell no..

Hi, tuckersheri. This is a scary situation that I would never put myself in! Not even if I am accompanied by several other people. This is just too risky for me to get involved in. I will pass on this dare! I am no sleeper when it comes to sleeping in an cemetery! I love horror but this is too horrible!

Yes, I've wanted to spend a night in graveyard. I've definitely thought about it. I haven't really had the opportunity to actually do it, but I certainly wanted and thought about spending the night at a graveyard. Although if I were actually, I'd probably want to do it with someone else. I don't know if I'll ever get the opportunity to do this sort of thing. I'll just have to wait and see.

Hi, tuckersheri! At one time i would have spent the night in a graveyard and might even now if someone dared me. I believe in ghosts or spirits also. I don't think the sounds i would hear in a graveyard would be any different than the sounds i normally hear outside my home at night. I am not saying that there can't be different sounds, just that i don't think the sounds would be any different. I think the thought of spending the night in a graveyard for some people, who believe in spirits, is an exciting thought.

I have never had anything weird happen in a graveyard

Me too, I would never spend an entire night in the graveyard, and I'm just thankful that we don't follow the old tradition of staying overnight in the cemetery during All Saints Day/All Souls Day. It's not only creepy, it's also dangerous - aside from ghosts (if they really exist), there could also be other bad elements roaming around the area like criminals - which to me, are even scarier than supernatural beings.

Guess what? I already have... Well, it wasn't really that scary. I mean here in the Philippines we celebrate Commemoration of the Faithful Departed or All Souls Day on November 2nd and that's the time when people usually spend the night in the cemetery. When my dad was still alive we used to camp out there. It wasn't scary because there were a lot of people visiting their departed loved ones too.
But I guess I would think twice as well if I'll be spending the night in a grave yard on a different night...

Yeah...I wouldn't want to do it too. Why would I ever do that. It is just going to be coming into a place that is going to be full of eeriness. Thw graveyard is not supposed to be scared of, but it's also not a place to venture into, especially at night. You might not know if there is ever any form of encounter there or something..

I think I would love it as long as there was a group of us hanging out at the grave yard. I too believe in ghost and spirits but I guess I just want to know what is going on out there. I'm curious to see if anything was to happen or not.
I just think it would be fun to do.

I have and it was Nov. 01, but the thing is it is not scary because there are so many people in the cemetery/grave yard. It will be so scary if i am just the only person in the graveyard..hahaha.. My imagination will run wild and I may get sick when I got home..
