Would love to take a Ghost Tour, Cemetery Tour, etc. Love that city. We took a Ghost Tour in Savannah once and loved it — just wandering around in the night listening to tall tales and spooky encounters. True or not, it made for a memorable evening!

Charleston, SC is one of my favorite cities for graveyard art. In addition to being an indicator of social values of the time, tombstones are rock markers of history: yellow fever epidemics, wars, etc. Interesting stuff. ~James

BTW, have you ever been to Scotland. The tombstones are incredible. Happy Halloween. –Curt

I’ve been going through pics wondering what to post on Halloween. I think I have enough cemetery art for a series!!! Thanks for commenting!

Yours is an area we have yet to explore so I will be giving you a shout when we head your way.:)

We don’t, however, have the artistic talents you have, but we love roaming through old cemeteries. It’s fascinating to read about people and their families and to see the art on many of the headstones.

They repeat what they say over and over during the two-hour tour, so a lot of people get history without really realizing it! Come see us!

My hubster and I are absolutely drawn to the art of cemeteries, but not for an extended stay! We adore painting watercolors and writing poetry in them, all over the world. Thank you!
