Folklore has always grown up around graveyards. From New Orleans to Edinburgh, ghost stories especially seem to settle among the monuments. Hear some of the wildest cemetery stories: how they’ve grown and changed over the years and whether they have any basis in truth. Leave the lights on and remember not to whistle past the graveyard!
