The world’s creepiest cemeteries – When a person dies, family and friends of the deceased lay the individual to rest in a cemetery. In any given cemetery, multiple graves will be present ranging from as little as only two buried in a small family plot or to as many as tens of thousands that are buried in a mass grave or even up to a few million kept in an ossuary.

The number of the individuals buried in a cemetery actually adds to the already creepy factor of a single grave – not to mention the circumstances in which the aforementioned individuals died. When tragedy surrounds the circumstances of the death of the individuals buried, you can feel it in the air. You don’t really know why but you feel as though something is just not right or that something is off.
Cemeteries are always creepy. This is because the cemetery is where we are most conscious of our own mortality. We know that in the future, this grim place will also be where we shall be placed before we crossover to the other realm, to the unknown. Superstition plays a big role in our view of death. As of writing, death is still final. No one has found a way to prevent the great equalizer. Once you die, you cannot come back – or can we?
All over the world, there are people who claim to have seen ghosts or experienced something eerie in certain cemeteries. These turned these places into macabre attractions for those brave enough to seek a more visceral connection with the realm beyond. Others may just dismiss these as mere superstition or even flights of fantasy but no one can deny that nudging feeling at the back of your head that makes you wonder, “Can this be true?”
12. Runway 10, Savannah Hilton Head International Airport – Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A
You might be surprised that the first on the list of cemeteries is an airport but there’s a reason for this. Back in the 1980s when the Savannah Airport was building an extension for Runway 10, they discovered that there was something in the path of their proposed runway project – the Dotson family farm complete with a small family cemetery with two graves. The Savannah Airport tried to convince the Dotson family to move the graves but the surviving family members didn’t consent. Because it’s illegal in the U.S. to move the remains of the dead without the consent of the family, the airport management was forced to build the runway over the graves. The airport gave the buried Dotson family members their respects by making headstones that go flush with the runway. Even though the runway looks normal to the uninitiated, those in the know, swear that the runway is haunted.
