World's 7 Spooky Cemeteries you would not like to visit

New Delhi: Decayed tombstones and disembodies noises. Rotting trees and gloomy landscapes. Poltergeists, ghosts and gravediggers in the dead of night. These are the creepy characteristics we may think of for our final resting place.

1. Greyfriars Kirkyard – Edinburgh, Scotland



This is possibly the most dangerous location on the list. Dating back to the 1560s, formerly a monastery garden, Greyfriars Cemetery in Edinburgh was established.



This piece of land has a brutal history of war, disease, and death and is believed to be the most haunted place in Scotland.

Here, the first copy of the National Covenant was signed at Greyfriars in 1638, which sparked 50 years of religious conflict.

Years later, 1200 supporters of the National Covenant were brought to Edinburgh and imprisoned in the graveyard for months awaiting their trial.

With no shelter, a small daily food allowance of just of bread, and other inhumane conditions, it was the world's first concentration camp.

Some died here, some were buried here, some escaped, some were executed for treason, others were freed after signing oaths of loyalty to the king, but many of the freed prisoners died on their ship that sank on it's way back to their homeland.

Visitors have claimed that physical attacks from an unseen entity has happened here, resulting in scratches, burns, bruises and even broken bones.
