tips for walking in an abandoned graveyard

  • if it’s dark, don’t shine your flashlight into the trees.
  • if a child approaches and asks you a question, don’t tell the truth.
  • you may find some harrowing artifacts (i found a ribbon on a tree and some bible pages) pick these up and keep them. they belong to you.
  • if you walk down a long, straight pathway, you will feel someone behind you. don’t look
  • you may see people in your peripheral vision; these are the spirits. they won’t hurt you.
  • if you wish to communicate with the spirits, do not do it alone. cast a protection circle. only ask polite questions.
  • you will feel bursts of dread and terror. ignore them.
  • don’t read too much into what the graves say. some things are best left unsolved.
  • research the history of the graveyard beforehand. you need to know what you might encounter.
  • some beings may not want you to leave. should you come into contact with one of these beings, leave immediately.
  • don’t read the hidden graves.
  • if you find a headless angel statue, don’t look for her head.
  • if you find a tipped over angel statue, leave her be. she’s only resting.
  • don’t listen to music. this will distract you from them.
  • don’t look in the bushes. you will find something that you weren’t supposed to.

“Beware the autumn people… For some, autumn comes early, stays late through life…For these beings, fall is the ever normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir in their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eyes? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth. In gusts they beetle-scurry, creep, thread, filter, motion, make all moons sullen, and surely cloud all clear-run waters. The spider-web hears them, trembles- breaks. Such are the autumn people. Beware of them.”

– Ray Bradbury, “Something Wicked This Way Comes”
