    I often think about how dangerous cemetaries are with open graves, loose stones and of course humans with nefarious intent! I surely hope you tell a friend/family where you are going.

    I was robbed in Galveston, TX in the old cemetery. Thank Goodness I was far away from the truck. When I got back someone had used old broken tombstone pieces to break every window out. I had hid my purse inside which was so stupid. Everything taken out strewn about all my money/cards gone. I had stopped there because I'd wanted to read some stones for years. My goal was to go to the beach but it started raining. I changed up plans to go to cemetery. I'll never do that again.

    Yeah I learned the hard way too years ago, never leave your purse or wallet or money in your vehicle. No matter how far or how long you stray from your car. I used to leave my wallet in my glove box everyday at a job I had at a small warehouse. One day my wallet was stolen. Luckily I only had about 30 dollars cash, but my license, pics and important stuff in it. Luckily (again) someone found my wallet couple days later in a trash can at a gas station a town over. Everything was still there minus the cash. So sorry what happened to you that's awful.

This cemetery is dark and eerie, which I love. I never thought of a cemetery as being dangerous before, I don’t know why. But seems like they can be. Take care. There are plenty of witnesses here, though it would be better for you if you don’t need us. Stay safe.

So those beautiful gates have all been replaced and the cemetery has really been tidied up. I remember when this was an overgrown gay cruising ground where people would just meet for sex, nobody ever went in there for anything other than that . And it was an extremely dangerous place. Assault were come in places as well as muggings. My grandparents And three of my aunts are buried in a grave near the main gate, the last being entered in 1988 .
