Highgate Cemetery

Located in the leafy suburbs of London is Highgate Cemetery. Thousands of people are buried there from rich and poor. The cemetery itself was consecrated in 1839 and is now part of the Western section, the oldest area of the cemetery which is now locked. In 1854 the extension of the cemetery was made and called the Eastern part, which people can be allowed to explore today. Highgate Cemetery soon became widely appreciated and a popular tourist attraction. The Victorians were often fascinated with all things gothic anyway so the cemetery inspired them. It's not just a burial ground as it has protected sites with nature walks, woods, winding paths and avenues. It's got unusual attractions like the Egyptian Avenue, Circle of Lebanon, Nero the Lion, Colunnade and Terrace Catacombs. The huge cemetery is mainly filled with statues and curious stone structures. The tombstones and mausoleums are works of art. Besides the fascinating cemetery itself are old legends about ghosts and vampires living there. Sightings of dark robed figures, demons with red eyes and ghouls are some of the spooks reported in the cemetery. Dead animals have been found and blamed on supernatural entities. At one time the coffins exploded because of intense energy and gas. The sounds of eerie voices and screams have been heard at the cemetery during late hours. No one dares to be in the spooky cemetery at night.
