I grew up right next door to a cemetery and honestly felt at peace with it. I'm not sure what your religious beliefs are, but cemeteries are blessed; It could just be my personal belief, but I don't get why a ghost would even haunt a graveyard...it would make far more sense that they would be attached to a building or thing than a graveyard. in response to Laura K :

She told me her name, which was an African name not common to 5 year olds in Denver. I told my dad, who worked at the Denver Post and looked up the history of our house and that particular name. Turns out a woman with that name lived in our house before us, but was murdered in the mountains about 3 months before we moved in.... I lived in a haunted house when I was a kid… and MET the ghost.

And for the record we thought our previous house was haunted, but it was a very benign haunting, so we were okay with it. Coolness!

It's is a little creepy, but could also be quite sweet. What heritage! Just don't watch The Others! Sounds like I may need to a little research on our property in Catskill, but so far, no poltergeists! Laura K…. that sounds amazing! It’s is a little creepy, but could also be quite sweet.

The house is 150 years old and the cemetery is old and the graves are the farmers who lived on the property. My question is, is this too creepy for most people?

When our realtor came to show us the house, there was a girl standing in the yard. She talked about how she lived next door, and her father mowed the lawn... then she said "I don't want anyone to move in here. It's where I play. I'd rather it burn down than someone move in here" My husband's response: "Well, I just hope the neighbors actually have a little girl!"

The story goes that a medium told her that she had to move from Boston to California and keep building a house to keep the spirits away. It's suppossed to be haunted by Sarah Winchester and the spirits of those who were killed by the winchester rifle. I've also been to Alcatraz but I didn't see any ghosts. However, the parts of it have been sealed off due to safety issues. I grew up in San Jose, Ca and I have been to the Winchester Mystery house on several occasions.
