3 Terrifying TRUE Cemetery Experiences | INTO THE DARK #5
Cemeteries are universally creepy places. Even those who say they don't believe in the paranormal, wouldn't walk around one alone at night...

  1. 0:25 NOT A NORMAL RIDE (Celene O'Toole) - Mount Jerome Cemetery & Crematorium is situated in Harold's Cross on the south side of Dublin, Ireland. Since its foundation in 1836, it has witnessed over 300,000 burials. Originally an exclusively Protestant cemetery, Roman Catholics have also been buried there since the 1920s.
  2. 4:53 WITCH'S GRAVE (Dale Y.) - Newbattle Old Cemetery in Dalkeith, Scotland.
  3. 7:58 STRANGE OLD WOMAN (Dave D.) - Lincoln Cemetery(?).

3 Cemeteries with Bizarre Backstories | #SERIOUSLYSTRANGE #120
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.

  1. 11:25 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.
  2. 16:49 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.”
  3. 19:54 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.
