Im going to go tonight. Chances are im going to go tomorrow as well. Im going to go right as the sun goes down and the night starts to turn. I really hope ill see, hear, or feel something. I need one of these life rushes if you want to call it. I'm going to go alone, im not taking the dog, no phone, no watch, or anything that can make a sound. Only thing going with me is a flashlight just in case. If i do see something, i believe, in this moment, where i am going, all i need to take with me is my mind.
dude, take your phone, just put it on vibrate. what if you trip and fall and break your leg and you're stuck lying there until someone walks past the next day? but have fun!
Before all the new areas were developed, to get from one side ofthe mountain to the other by foot was quickest straight over the thing and on one side of this mountain lays a graveyard. On big benders we'd frequently cross through the graveyard at night. It was locked up like most others but we got through. It's not scary. It's nothing. Ghosts Have better things to do than stick around their graves and corpse.
my dad used to sleep in graveyards and morgues when he couldn't find someplace cheap enough quickly. but this was many decades before goths and all that.
When we were kids whenever we passed a cemetery we'd say "bunny bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, ......rabbit" to ward off evil spirits on reflection that was fucked up ....... Hotwater
we had to run past cemetery's with our breath held otherwise we'd either a) be the next one to die or b) not get buried when we did. i also remember kids (and some older people) thinking it was bad luck to meet a funeral procession head on. if you saw one coming and you were walking towards it, you had to turn around and walk in the other direction till it passed, so you were going the same way.
Somewhere around here, I have a book on Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Ga. It talks about how Bonaventure, and other cemeteries developed during that time period, were multi-use places for families. There are drawings and paintings of families having lunch on the grounds and spending and afternoon just like we use parks today.
