We all know cemeteries are creepy, somber places, yet many are also considered to be some of the most haunted locations across the globe. Tales of strange events in graveyards have been told and retold worldwide, with many sites gaining infamy along with those retellings. Join us as we explore five such cemeteries where the bodies may rest, but the legends are very much alive and well.

• CLAY COUNTY CEMETERY in Cloverland, Indiana is also known as the 100 Steps Cemetery. The graves date back at least to the 1860s. If you’re feeling brave, start counting as you ascend the decrepit steps one night. You may end up leaving Clay County Cemetery having learned something new about yourself.
• LA RECOLETA CEMETERY in Buenos Aires, Argentina has 4691 vaults, all of which are above ground. Established in 1822, there are many famous dead interred here, including actors, presidents, and Nobel prize winners. Eva Peron is the star attraction, but the busts of Salvador María del Carril and his wife Tiburcia Domínguez also have a bizarre backstory. One grisly tale from La Recoleta is that of Rufina Cambaceres, a 19-year-old socialite who was evidently buried ALIVE in 1902.
• SOUTH PARK STREET CEMETERY in Kolkata, India one of the largest Christian cemeteries outside of Europe and America, had a relatively short life, opening in 1767 and closing 23 years later in 1790. One eerie monument within South Park Street Cemetery can be found covered in green moss and undergrowth. It’s a small, pyramid-shaped structure called the “bleeding tomb.”
• OAKLAND CEMETERY in Iowa City, Iowa, is still an active 40-acre gravesite. Best known for The Black Angel, an 8.5-foot tall statue created by sculptor Mario Korbel and commissioned by Teresa Feldever. The statue has allegedly claimed a number of lives, some within months of touching the statue, or perhaps even right after touching the statue.
• GREYFRIARS KIRKYARD in Edinburgh, Scotland is home to what many believe to be the most haunted graveyard in the world. Burials have been taking place there since the late 16th century. Its most infamous era in history has to do with a religious and political movement known as the Covenanters, where 400 prisoners were kept in a makeshift prison in a field to the south of Greyfriars Kirkyard. Conditions were so inhumane that it’s often described as an early concentration camp. There's also the tale of Greyfriars Bobby, a loyal dog who guarded his master John Gray's grave for fourteen years. Some claim they still hear the sounds of barking...
