Cemeteries and Abandoned Buildings

[RainstormZA]

For @Steyn777, I am going to share several photos of cemetaries.

Anyone that has documented the above and old abandoned buildings are welcome to chime in.

these 3 are my favourites. The middle 1 because of the wording, the others because the build is stunning in its simplicity.

If you can't feel the spookyness when looking at this picture, then you are haunting and no longer being haunted. Damn

@RainstormZA if you enjoy this sort of stuff I highly recommend doing this bus tour. I did it about 6 years back and was externally fun and chilling at times.

I didn't even know something like this existed in South Africa. That's so cool. Finally my dream job can now become reality!! Who you gonna call?

At a stage I actually couldn't stop searching vids on YouTube to find 1 bloody sighting caught on film. This lead to that Ghost Hunter show on discovery and similar stuff on the net. Stopped watching when the dude went into a 500 year old German castle, sees something on that electronic device thingy that indicates the thing must be close and then he starts speaking to the thing in ENGLISH!!!

Lol I enjoyed Paranormal State.

There are groups in the uk that I can join for these things. There is one thing most of you don't know about me - I can communicate with the spirits. They find me and bring me to locations.

This is how I found these places.

That's so cool, they should make like a TV series about.....oh no wait....

 

[Steyn777]

Just joking @RainstormZA .
I actually had similar experiences when I was very young. My parents eventually got a shrink to help me deal with this. After months of sessions only I realised he was also a spirit but didn't know it.

 

[RainstormZA]

@Clouds4Days I wouldn't call myself a ghost hunter - more of Lorraine Warren in Paranormal State.

Bit I dislike labels. I'm me. Lol.

More pictures.

Cato Ridge Cemetary, KZN. @Steyn777

This particular corner gave me the heebie jeebies - it was a grave of babies and children buried there. Oooh!

 

[RainstormZA]

Bredell Cemetary in Gauteng (pity I didn't take more photos)

The sad thing is that there are so many unmarked graves on one side of the cemetary. My friend and I had a debate on whether it was the poor black or coloured people that couldn't afford a grave marker. There were just piles of dirt and not on marker - not even a piece of wood.

My dad refused to keep any of the baby caskets in stock, not even for display purposes. I can only think how unsettling that must have been.

It is so touching to see all those old graves - to think they all had dreams and ambitions but at the end of the day we all return to dust...

Downtown JHB: now only the external walls remain :The Three Castles Building is a landmark historic structure in downtown Johannesburg. It started life as a factory for the production of 'Three Castles' cigarettes with the facade becoming a powerful marketing tool for the brand. Initially 100 female workers were employed to roll the cigarettes but by the late 1890s this role was taken over by machines. According to John Shorten in The Johannesburg Saga, the factory was unable to keep up with demand despite producing over 300 000 cigarettes a day! (The Heritage Portal)
This is a site that calls out to be photographed in b/w on 35mm film.

Beautiful photographs.. I would like to do something like this. I also want to visit some haunted locations.
