Stories from the Grave Cemeteries bring to life memories of the dead. Visiting the Syracuse cemetery was eye-opening for me. The only times I have walked in cemeteries, have been for the burials of both my cousin and grandfather, and when I visited the American cemetery in Normandy, France. For some inexplicable reason, I have always been wary of graveyards, memorials, and cemeteries. This project thrust me into a world that I have never cared to observe.

Other archival records refer to the cemetery as being on the farm, but small-town politics and the strong resistance of the landowner have thwarted Mr. Avery’s and others efforts. So what happened to this original African American Community? No one is certain how many slaves laboured for Colonel…

Soldiers from the Spanish War to the first two World Wars entombed in the graveyard have flags by their gravestones. Ghost stories of a tiny girl roaming the yard known throughout the web with videos and…

may have been a mix of the emotions and sadness from the reason I first visited, but I was genuinely amazed. Allegheny Cemetery had me gasping at the intricate, unique beauty of each stone and massive size of the land. I don’t mean to be morbid, but Allegheny Cemetery is my place of choice for this essay. The cemetery was incorporated in 1844 and is the sixth oldest rural cemetery in America. It encompasses 300 acres of luscious Allegheny County land. This hilly landscape is the essence of…

Gothic Setting The night falls early due to the start of the cold season. He walks through the haunted, dark forest, feeling the branches hit against him and spiders crawl up his face as he ruins their cobwebs. The air smells like toxic gas and he can taste the unpleasant sand as he opens his mouth as wide as he can to yawn. He stands at a safe distance from an abandoned, ominous castle that looks like a huge, cursed mansion. This castle holds the secret of what he is looking for. The…
