It's always been in the back of my head, this like lonely, sad, desperate cemetery that was out there clawing for help, you know? So I was wondering, like, what happens if a cemetery goes out of business? You know, like, do they disappear?

Right. Like Spirit Halloween doesn't move in. Like what happens to that land? Right. And I mean, my question would be what happens to the bodies? Yeah, exactly. Like, you know, when I was a kid, I watched Poltergeist and they're like building houses over graves. And, you know, that creates all kinds of problems. But, you know, that's a movie like in real life. What happens to the bodies?

cemeteries are kind of a precious thing. It's a weird usage of land. So, you know, in Texas, I never thought about it because there's land everywhere. And like, it's not unusual to run into like an abandoned cemetery where a church used to be. And there's just like eight headstones there. You know, I never thought about it.

But this cemetery got me thinking about that more and more of like, well, what happens if a cemetery in a prime area goes out of business?

So, the simple explanation, and it's not that simple, but I grew up in a cemetery.

My father was superintendent of a 200-acre cemetery in Syracuse, New York. It's a great place to play, as long as you're not doing anything too stupid. And your friends, as I say in the second book I wrote, we didn't have any sleepovers.

To me, it was just where I was. I was there from the time I was six weeks old. So I actually worked in the cemetery starting when I was 13 and all the way into my 20s. I buried babies. I was part of a crew that buried full-bodied babies. and cremations, I filled graves, you know, almost all the things that you would do in a cemetery. So I have a more intimate, personal relationship with it.
