Amongst the Dead

7 Apr

A couple of friends and I recently explored the ancient and very beautiful Friar’s Bush Cemetery in Belfast. Here is what we found. To read about the cemetery – and the various spooky stories regarding body-snatching, famine and cholera associated with the place, and those laid to rest in it – head over to my other blog Behind the Couch.

Marie in the Graveyard

7 Apr

This is my friend Marie. Along with two of her buddies, she visited Ireland last week from Missouri. Being the horror fiends we are, we naturally wandered around a few of the cemeteries here in Belfast, sharing ghost stories and creepy folk tales.
