You want to talk about the weird things that happen in cemeteries? We all think of the greatest taboo: Sex in a cemetery. In fact, every time I’m in one, I think about it… my mind can’t help it. So, I wrote a highly erotic short story involving sex in a cemetery. If any of you wish to read it, just email me because I’m not putting it on the blog—it’s explicit. Psychic62@hotmail.com
Murders have been committed in cemeteries, ritualistic occult ceremonies, and here’s what one brilliant guy right here in my state decided to do: “PHOENIX -- A 17-year-old boy who disappeared last year was killed during an argument with a friend and then buried at a cemetery, concealed in a woman's freshly dug grave, authorities said. Richard Waive Palmer, 26, was being held in a Maricopa County jail Monday on a charge of second-degree murder. He confessed last week to killing Robert K. Martin in April 2004 by hitting him over the head with a baseball bat, authorities said.”
You couldn’t miss it in the news when mortuary workers cheap out on burials and sell more graves than are available or perhaps toss the ashes out and don’t bury them. In many countries, especially France, they dispose of older bodies to make room for newer ones, thereby creating the famous Catacombs under Paris.
Death definitely holds a fascination, but is it the forbidden cemeteries that represent our dead, that are quiet rarely visited dark spots in our cities that attract the weirdest of us? Or is putting all those bodies in one place somehow changing the land, making it somehow attractive for the weird and strange?
Oh, and, if you’re just a bit curious, there is a cemetery called “Weird Cemetery” in Kentucky!
