Today's blog will tell you about one of the 10 Most Bizarre Cemeteries In The World

TheTravel.com did a series on the top 10, and I'm sharing them again here. BTW, cemeteries aren't haunted.
Earth bound ghosts who chose to stay, stay at places they knew in life, a place where they died, lived or liked. However,
spirits who have crossed over can come back and visit living people in cemeteries.
Now, on to the bizarre cemetery of the day...
Ancient Egyptian Tombs, Egypt
The world's most extreme cases of burial traditions might just be in
Egypt. Everyone knows how extra the ancient Egyptians were about burying
pharaohs and other high ranking members of society, the Great Pyramids only the biggest and most extravagant of these traditions.
But you can find subterranean Egyptian tombs all over Egypt, some of
which are open to tourists. You can wander the tunnels and crypts where
some of Egypt's legendary mummies were buried, often with hoards of
priceless treasure. Unfortunately, though, no Indiana Jones-style enchantments have been discovered yet.

Sometimes people who have lost loved ones have actually received phone calls from the deactivated phone numbers of their loved ones who have passed. I haven't, but I do know that I will not delete my parents' house phone number from my phone. Many others do the same thing, as cited in this story from BBC News. This story isn't about a deceased loved one who communicated from the other side though. It's about a living person that received the former phone number of a deceased loved one, got a text message from the living relative who continued to text her late loved one, and had the heart to respond to the grieving person. Then offered support. What a gift. Here's the story from the BBC News (Oct. 11, 2019):
'Somebody answered my dead brother's number'
By Dhruti ShahBBC News, Washington DC
10 October 2019
When a loved one
dies, it is often hard to let go and many people try to maintain a
connection any way they can. For some, it can be by visiting a grave,
posting on a Facebook memorial page or even texting them.
For six
months, Ruth Murray had been finding comfort in text messaging the
phone number belonging to her brother Mike - it was a way of staying
close to him after he died suddenly.
The 36-year-old from Minneapolis never expected a response but it was just her way of staying connected to her older sibling.
So
in late September, when her phone buzzed with a message from the number
she had for years labelled "brothaboo", her stomach dropped.
She had texted him just hours previously saying: "I just miss you so much. God. What the hell".
But the stranger - Amber Leinweber, 32, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin - has turned out to be a godsend for grieving Ruth.
When
Amber found out what Ruth was going through, she told her to "text
anytime you need to", adding: "I know we don't know each other, but [I]
don't mind being a sounding board."
She had, by coincidence, been
assigned Mike's old number when her bosses gave her a work phone, and
had at first thought that the texts she kept receiving were for a lost
phone.
Ruth said: "My brother Mike overdosed on heroin in March. He had
struggled with addiction for 12 years and although he had been clean
for three months, he relapsed and passed away aged 37.
"We were
really close and would text every day. He called me sisterboo. If I had a
joke to tell him or a memory I wanted to share or I just wanted to
reach out to him, I'd message him in the same way as before he died."
Rob's books teach about signs from spirits
She
said she never expected his number to be reassigned so quickly and when
Amber first messaged, Ruth had to leave the room she was in and find
somewhere to cry.
However, when Ruth posted the exchange on Reddit,
she was shocked by how much it resonated, with more than 80,000 upvotes
and 800 comments. People from all over the world admitted to how they
too would contact their loved ones via text, Snapchat, Facebook and
more.
Camille Sharrow-Blaum from Michigan was among those who responded. She posted that her friend Jenny had died from cancer last year aged 27 but despite this Camille's network continued to reach out to her.
"Her
husband keeps paying for her cell phone and number so that we can all
text it. He keeps it charging in a drawer and never looks at the
messages, but he knows there are five of us in a group chat and we can't
bear to start a new one without her."
She told the BBC the group
still felt Jenny was a key part of their lives and they wanted to share
milestones with her, adding: "It just feels right for our conversations
to continue with her in the group chat - it makes it feel like a direct
line to Jenny. It helps us remember her, no matter how long she's been
gone."
'Small things'
Jaclyn
Schwartz from Texas also continued to pay for her husband Jason's phone
line following his death from multiple organ failure in 2017. It allows
her to text him, see the images he took and the conversations he has
with people.
"It makes him seem not so far away when I really miss him," she said.
"It's
something that was such an ordinary part of his day, using that phone.
And when you lose someone the little things can disappear so fast with
time. How his hair smelled or the way he walked a little wonky in flip
flops or the way he drove me crazy by never deleting any emails, even
junk mail.
"I don't want to lose the small things. I'm in no rush to shut it off."
And Jessica Allen, of London, Ontario, told
Redditors: "We buried my brother with his phone, so that we could text
him. My parents paid for it for a few months then stopped. Eventually a
year later someone got the number."
Jessica told the BBC her
brother Brad killed himself aged 18 in 2007. She said it had been
important to the family to maintain that connection through the phone.
When the number was reassigned, Jessica admits it was difficult as it
marked another loss.
Andrea Warnick is a psychotherapist in
Toronto specialising in grief counselling. She is unsurprised by the
need for people to stay in touch with deceased friends and families
through their phones and social media: "There is a profound human need
to stay connected to the dead."
She said that historically this would be where religious and spiritual institutions would step in and offer rituals.
"Most
of the people who engage in this are not expecting a response. It's
just a means of communicating. Many of us don't have the rituals or
traditions that used to be the guiding force in these times."
She
says it was perfectly healthy to want to stay in touch however, when
the numbers were reassigned by third parties, there was a risk of it
feeling like an additional death. She added it was important for those
grieving to make room for death in their lives.
Ruth says she felt
comforted by the reaction and she wanted to meet Amber to thank her in
person, especially after discovering this one-time stranger's husband
once played in the same poker circles as her brother.
Amber, 32, said: "I truly believe I was supposed to
get that number. It's more than a coincidence that I was given it. The
more we talked over messages, the more we realised we had so much in
common.
She is a little puzzled why it "blew up" on Reddit like it did.
"When did being a compassionate human being become something exceptional?
"It
didn't cost me anything to respond. People get hung up on trying to say
the right thing in these types of situations but sometimes people just
need to be able to vent or say what they need and move on.
"They don't need advice on how to grieve. They just need space. It takes nothing to lend your ear."

Now, on to the bizarre cemetery of the day...
Old Jewish Cemetery, Czech Republic
This crammed Jewish cemetery in Prague is dated to at least the 15th
Century, and was accepting new burials until the late 18th Century —
that's a lot of burials. Its headstones are tilting, crumbling, and
lopsided, having endured centuries of new burials.
It's estimated that up to 100,000 individuals are buried within the tiny
cemetery, though only 12,000 headstones remain. Since Jewish tradition
forbids the replacement of graves, the dead were stacked on top of one
another. The cemetery sits about 10-feet above the street as a result of
the stacked burials.

When people misspell words it can be as funny as it is sad. The misspelled word makes you think of the paranormal, so I thought I would share this!
You would think who the people that make signs would have a better grasp on the language. Unfortunately, some don't and that was evidenced by this sign in a park... telling people not to "Exorcise" their dogs in a certain location.
"Exorcising" means to drive demons or ghosts out of a living being.
"Exercising" means to move your body to improve physical fitness.
For those who think their dog needs to be exorcised, perhaps the dog needs obedience training. Or maybe you are craving a Drake's bakery Devil Dog pastry!
Happy Thanksgiving! It's important to give thanks for even the little things we have, and in doing so, it makes us realize that life is a gift. I'm thankful for family, friends and especially our 4 canine kids.
I'm also thankful to all of you, who have read my books, have met me in person, or have emailed me. I've grown to know so many people from all over the world through the publication of my books, and I've hopefully brought a lot of healing.
LOVED ONES ARE AROUND YOUR TABLE - For those who have lost loved ones this year or 30 years ago, it makes no difference when it comes to being around you today. Spirits of loved ones usually come around on holidays (and other special times). So keep an eye out for signs. Whether you see someone who looks like your grandmother that passed, smell a perfume your late mother used to wear, or saw a tie that reminded you of your dad or grand-dad, those are some of the many signs they will use to convey their presence. FOR THOSE ALONE TODAY -If you find yourself working, or physically alone, know that there's always someone who misses you today and cares about you- and is giving thanks that you're in their lives. The spirits of your loved ones also surround you, whether a person or a pet in spirit. They're with you.
THANKS, CRUSOE! - Thanks, too, to Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund and his brother Oakley for the fun holiday picture! ************************************ Follow Rob Gutro on Social Media!

I enjoy sharing nice notes I receive because there's too much negativity in the world and a little kindness goes a long way. Here's a note I received from a man I'll just call "S" after I provided some short messages about his dog. Send someone you know a nice note and make their day, too! - Rob ***************************** Dear Rob,
I cannot express how much relief your email has brought me!! Though I miss him so much, I can finally have peace of mind knowing that he has crossed over and not stuck here. He has always been such a good boy, I have nothing but good memories of him and yes I will always remember him and keep his picture with me. He's coming to England with me !!! That is the best news ever !, I have also read in your book and how Buzz found you, it's just amazing how faithful they remain. Thank you so much for your help and your advice. Sincerely,
S

Now, on to the bizarre cemetery of the day...
Merry Cemetery, Romania
The words "merry" and "cemetery" don't usually go together, but in
this cemetery in Romania, each headstone is colorfully decorated with
the life story of the person it belongs to. Săpânţa's Merry Cemetery is
unique in its retelling of the lives and deaths (often gruesome) in a
cheerful way, complete with illustrations and unusually detailed
epigraphs.
While charming, if you can read Romanian, you'll see that the wooden
crosses reveal a lot about the deceased. Calling out the dead for their
infidelity or over-indulgence, the Merry Cemetery's graves are much more
straightforward than our typical impersonal Western traditions would be
comfortable with.
