I own an old cemetery, deep in the woods on a thousand acres I bought 30 years ago in West Virginia. It's a 10-15 minute walk from a beautiful stone bridge, when the creek is low-enough to cross, on a quiet trail loaded with wildlife (no hunting ever). I like to go there and sit on my picnic table and just listen to the sounds in the woods. Never hear a peep from the graves, all 80-150 years old. Had lots of picnics there over the years.

A very peaceful and calm place to go burn a J with some down to earth individuals!

I use to go there and visit my mom and dad. We took our dogs to see if they would get spooked. They ran around and played. We don't go anymore. It's just a memory of a pain we felt when we buried all my family members there.

I've always found cemeteries peaceful even as a child. Never understood why anyone would be fearful. Was never impressed with zombies, vampires, and monsters either.

I do agree with some of the other comments about the waste of space.

Never seems to like the smell somehow. After a while reading tombstones I lose interest. My ashes over the Caribbean Sea soothe me fine right now but... until I change my mind.

My brother-in-law is buried in Arlington Cemetery. There, I feel a sense of peace, and comradery. I do not feel afraid, or even nervous. I do wish that there were some way I could know more about the people there, and their stories.

I called other, cemetaries just seem strange - the butterfly has left the cocoon - I do get honoring the dead. The old ones have interesting histories. I have a bit of a fear of being alone in the dark and it would not matter if I was in a cemetary or the woods.

We have several old ones in Dunedin, New Zealand, and one has become a haven for very old roses. The botanic society looks after them, and tends the place. It is totally peaceful, and a niche for wildlife as well.

As I believe our bodies are just plain dead after death, I don’t find cemeteries creepy. Except at night, because I’m scared of the dark. Everywhere is creepy in the dark.

The two biggest wastes of real estate on the planet are cemeteries and golf courses.

I love it in Rio de Janeiro there is an old cemetery from the 1800's and I remember going there so I could be alone...so much history so peaceful ...

I've done cemetary photography for genealogical sites; I find it peacful

possibly both. I did love the road they made of gravestones on the film Schindler's list.

It's someone's land been taken to make graves. I'd say bury the body with out the cement and all.
