Many cemeteries are haunted.
In fact, most of them may have some eerie energy, if not actual ghosts.
Of course, I always look for known haunts. The website, TheShadowlands.com, is one of the best places to start, though pranksters and trolls may have added fake entries, for their own amusement. (So, fact-check everything. There are enough legitimate listings at that site to recommend it.)
But almost every community has a “haunted” cemetery. Some of the best are from the late 18th and 19th centuries, when grave markers and headstones conveyed a rich sense of history.
Find the oldest cemetery in the area, and start there. (But follow my usual ghost hunting guidelines, especially at isolated cemeteries.)
HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK FOR

AND ONE MORE TIP FOR GHOST HUNTERS…
DO YOU LIKE OLD CEMETERIES?
Here’s one of my early “walking around” videos. For most people, it might be boring. I filmed it to test my new action camera.
However, it’ll give you a good idea of what to expect at haunted New England cemeteries. During my visit, I noted at least three graves that I expect to be haunted. Unfortunately, two that seem most active are right next to a busy road; they’re not great for after-dark investigations.
(In future videos, I will walk more slowly and pause at interesting – and perhaps haunted – gravestones.)
I don’t like when you say that it’s worse that women get bullied than men.
Hi, Mark,
It’s always good to hear from you.
I’m not sure where I’d said that about bullying. I probably need to frame it in a clearer context. This is a very busy time for me, so if you can tell me where I’d said that, I can review it and perhaps rephrase it.
To be clear: No one should be bullied. (I said that at https://hollowhill.com/jokers-at-haunted-sites/ and, referencing ghosts, at https://hollowhill.com/ghost-hunting-dangers/ )
In ghost hunting, I’ve seen female ghosts more aggressively taunted than male ones. As a ghost hunter – and in general – I’ve noticed that I’m taunted more often than the men around me. (I can raise an eyebrow at the sexism of that, but at a certain point, it’s downright annoying. Worse, when it happens at an event where I’ll be on stage, the attempts at bullying me into a response can affect my focus, and thereby less effective as a speaker.) So, for me, it’s “worse,” if only in statistical terms.
However, to be very clear: No one should be bullied, ever, and taunting (as attempted humor) is just as bad.
Well, the part where you said that ain’t up anymore. It was a message that you posted about getting online bullied when you were doing some work with the Mandela Effect site. I notice females do this kinda thing all the time – saying outright or implying that women facing a problem is worse than if men face the same problem, which, in my opinion, at least, is indicative of a sense of female entitlement – and it bothers me, to say the least, though I think that a lot of them do it without realizing it, so I guess I’m just pointing it out. Anyway, thanks for clarifying.
Thanks for explaining that, Mark. I understand, but – at the same time – bristle a bit when you said “females do this kinda thing all the time.” I hope you can see how, to me, that seems just as biased as whatever I’d said in my burst of irritation.
Mostly, I think our respective perceptions are based in our personal experiences. Also, I’m pretty sure we can agree that polarization (in general) is somewhat out of control in society at the moment. Let’s not allow that to spoil this long-time friendship.

For anyone trying to join this somewhat personal conversation with Mark, let’s stay on topic, okay?
This site is about ghosts and haunted places. I routinely delete extremely off-topic and troll-like comments.
I think we’re all interested in ideas that enhance our efforts to locate “haunted” sites and document the ghost-like phenomena at them, and finding rational (and sometimes fun/speculative) explanations for the normal and paranormal phenomena we encounter there.
Of course, I encourage speculation, even when it’s quirky, as long as it’s supported by personal experience and science, Newtonian and/or quantum.
