Talk about something Halloweeny to do this month, why not visit an old cemetery? I felt like a ghost having to visit an old cemetery. I’ve never been to a cemetery before, and I sure did not know what a cemetery was. I always thought it was a place to find old buried bones. Mom said that is partially correct, but not the kind of bones I was thinking of.Β This cemetery is really old, the sign says 1861, and is located where Bailie has her tracking class. How frightful is that? I think the sign is newer, though, as it is the only thing not falling apart.
The super scary, creepy thing I found out is Bailie’s class ran their first tracks right on top of this cemetery! Yikes! Her instructor said dogs love to sniff around on the cemetery area. Me personally, I just wanted Mom to hurry and finish the photos so we could leave. I think I might have a fear of ghosts even though I’ve never seen one.
We were forced to pose next to these old stone things that were sticking out of the ground.
Most of them were in such bad shape the writing was worn away, but sometimes you could make out some dates or a name. It was kind of sad to try and imagine who these humans were and why they died so young.
We were very well behaved and did not disturb anything in the cemetery. Well, actually, we did munch on some greenery as it was real tasty. We did not, however, go potty in the cemetery area as Mom said that would be very disrespectful. Now I guess I can take cemetery visit off my bucket list…wait, I don’t think cemetery visit was on my list! Enough of the creepy for Halloween, time to get back to the fun stuff! Stay tuned tomorrow when my sisters and I go on a search for a pumpkin patch.
I thought in the spirit of Halloween and creepiness, a cemetery post would be better in black and white, so I’mΒ joining the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop sponsored by Dachshund Nola and Sugar the Golden Retriever.
OMD that is a spooky visit for sure but they so make for some stunning pix. Love your ghost outfit. Have a serene and easy Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
I sure make a scary ghost, don’t I?
Oh what a scary place! I bet it#s a place for legends and creepy stories….. be careful Bailie… this stone looks promising… think there lives a ghost named Willie… (can a ghost “live” anywhere… not sure lol)
The whole thing gives me the Willies…just saying…
A pumpkin patch definitely sounds like more fun than a cemetery! I actually used to live right next to a cemetery growing up. It used to be kind of fun when we had friends come visit and we camped outdoors in the yard and we all walked through the cemetery at night. One time we saw a shovel sitting by a grave and everyone screamed and ran….LOL.
My mom and her cousin used to hang out in cemeteries when they were little. They liked to find the oldest people there.
I love wondering around old cemeteries. So much history.
This one was more rubble, but it had some smells for us scent hounds.
I happen to enjoy a quiet stroll through a cemetery. We visit them frequently because my Mom Person has a weird thing going for cemeteries. I’m sorry yours was so scary.
This was a real old falling apart one. My mom has gone to them before to find people, but they weren’t the creepy kind.
You were VERY brave to set paws in a cemetery. Will you be dressing up as a ghost for Howl-o-ween this year? Much love, The Scottie Mom.
I think I will find a more fun costume.
That was a creepy cool post!!!
I was looking for and expecting to find a black cat there, but did not find one.
Oh you guys are brave… the human is still trying to think of a scary disguise for Donna… it’s hard!
We didn’t have much of a choice, but Bailie already knew the place so it wasn’t as scary.
we love the small family cemeteries with just a few graves but don’t like big cemeteries – mom says she always feels to much pain and sadness there
My mom finds them all interesting but also sad.
Well, not as scary as I expected, but there sure where some cool tombstones! Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Love Dolly
It is more creepy if you are there in your own fur. There is nothing else around which adds to the scare factor.
Oh wow that does look pretty spooky – I can see where Halloween decorators get their inspiration with all those beautiful details on those old tombstones. I love walking around old cemeteries, so much history and so many recognizable names – we’re often figuring out how they named the roads around us – from the influential people that used to live here.
This one is way back in the middle of some fields and is in real bad shape, but still it is interesting wondering who those folks were.
We think creepy stuff is cool! Love the B&W pictures…very appropriate!
This time of year creepy is in, so this fit.
OWOOOOOOOO! That is a scary place. I am not sure what a cemetery is either but is sure looks creepy. Have a howling great Sunday. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
I don’t think we will be visiting cemeteries too much, way too spooky!
I love to visit old cemeteries. The old headstones are always so pretty, and tell a story.
This place was in pretty bad shape except for the sign, but we could make out some stuff on the tombstones.
OMD that really WAS scary… Some peeps like to go to old cemeteries and make tombstone RUBBINGS…
I think we will steer clear of them, way too spooky for us.
That was super spooky – especially with the black and white pics!
B/W really made it spooky, it was bad enough in color!
Very brave of you Emma! We would have been too scared to enter!
We didn’t really have a choice, but it is done, hope I don’t have to go again.
I used to live across da street from a cemetery. And I saw lotsa old ones when I lived in Bawston.
I’ve never been to one before, this one was really old!
Hehe, you make one really cute ghost, Emma!
That cemetery sure is spooky. Glad you didn’t run into any ghosts! You got some really great pictures though. π
Creepy spot. I will not be going back, but Bailie still has her classes right next to it.
We think cemeteries are scary! We would be too frightened to go into one. You guys are very brave!
It seems like it is a love or hate thing with no in between. We have done it and I am not going back.
I am fascinated by old cemeteries. Love this.
Mom kind of likes to look around, but she finds them creepy too. This one is in a deserted area which makes it more spooky.
Hi Emma! You are so brave to go into the cemetery. My mom loves old cemeteries, which is kinda creepy. She thinks it is interesting and now she says WE should go walking in an old one. WTD?!? Ookay, I wanted to ask you something…would you be my date to Dory’s Halloween party? You can write and let me know. I hope you say “yes” cuz’ you’re my ghoul-friend! β₯ β₯ XXOO Your Basset, Bentley
Hmmm…I don’t know about the party. I have heard of Dory, but am not familiar with her blog. I would love to be your date, can I go as a hound??? Maybe I can find something else to wear. I will need to find out more about the details. Boy, my sisters will be real jealous!
Woah!!!! Super spooooooky!!!
α¦ husky hugz α¦ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
I’ve never taken Mr. N to one. All the tombstones might be too tempting for him to mark.
The boys do have that issues much more than us girls. It is a problem in our nose work class too.
You’re very brave!!
Sometimes I do have to put on my big girl fur and be a tough GBGV.
Emma, you make one scary looking little ghost – that’s fur-sure. Never took Harley to a cemetery. Never really wanted to go myself to tell you the truth.
It was right there, so we had to go, but now we have done it and don’t need to go again…well except Bailie that has her class there right now.
This was an awesome adventure with some really cool photos. I love old cemeterys.
It is creepy there. Mom loves Bailie’s tracking class, but doesn’t like that the cemetery is right there in the fields. It is weird to have such a big fancy sign but the rest of it is falling apart.
We have a small cemetery about a mile from our house that looks just like that one. Mom has never stopped there to see any of the stones she just doesn’t like cemeteries.
Mom isn’t a big fan either, but it is there and it is there every tracking class, so she figured we may as well have a visit.
What a fun idea for a post! I don’t think I’ve taken Ace to a cemetery before, but I have walked other dogs through a cemetery lots of times. I also have a rule of no peeing in the cemetery.
Emma, did your mom make your ghost costume in the first photo? How cute!
The cemetery thing was rather odd, but now we have done it. Mom did make that silly costume for me. I can’t walk in it, but I can sit in it!
Lucky you two. I love visiting old cemeteries. The graves behind where my mom is buried is a family who lived during the Civil War. I always stop and visit them too. π
Sadly, this one was in tough shape, but still interesting.
