    Prior to World War II, my grandmother would frequent Highgate Cemetery to sit on a bench and read. In my youth, I was a cemetery caretaker and gravedigger. I never considered my work as "creepy" -- just honorable and quite often very sad. Thank you Simon, for this informative video.

It showed two shadowy figures mourning over a grave that was crumbling from tree roots. There was no one there but for me, that day. I would love to find that photo again.

    I so enjoy visiting old cemeteries and reading grave markers. So do my siblings. We took road trips all the time growing up as we moved almost every year as dad got transferred in the military. When we visited Tombstone, Arizona we went through Boothill Cemetary. After that we were hooked and part of our travels besides beach trips, Disneyland, lakes like Bear Lake, Calico, Grand Canyon, great hiking trails all over the US, Canada, Mexico, we always liked to visit old cemeteries.

    The tours run by the friends of the cemetery to the West side are really something to behold - I've been a few times and I would highly recommend it in order to provide them with some financial support and to see it for yourself! While the tours to the West are guided due to portions being unsafe and fragile, you also are allowed to enter the East unsupervised as part of your admission, and it really allows you to get a sense of the place as it would have been a century ago.

    I went on a tour of Highgate around 3 years ago, they take you around all the famous graves and tell you the history of the place. George Michael was there too but as it was not long after his death his grave (that he shared with his mother) was hidden from view and we were not allowed to go near it as per the wishes of his family. Near to the mausoleum of Julius Beer are the catacombs where you walk inside and can see hundreds of lead coffins stacked up on shelves, some are that old that they are crumbling and you can see the rotting wood coffins underneath...others have been previously vandalised and are completely smashed open, its a really eerie experience in there. Its a tour that is highly recommended to anybody visiting or from London

    Now I want to go see this place, cemeteries are actually fascinating places to go and learn a little about people who lived in different time periods. Or at least that’s how I see it.

    @geographics the photo you use at 12:01 is of American R&B singer Monica Brown. Taken from her Wikipedia page. The Monica Still you are referring to was 71 y/o in 1994. Marya Burrell died in 1988 at the age of 63.

    Highgate Vampire: Ahhh, these flowers are so beautiful. The family really cherish their beloved.... (Humans show up and scream)
    What the f????? Holy crap!!!! (Disappears)
    Holy Crap, that was too close! Where in the hell are those ghosts coming from??? (Talking about the humans)
    Sorry, had to do that. The Highgate Vampire was just trying to admire the beauty of the place. Damn humans are trespassing lol

    11:59 Um.... what? That's a picture of Monica Arnold the r&b singer popular in the 90s. Googling "Monic Still" does bring up her album/tv show Still Standing but she's def not the person you're referring to lol. Did no one else catch that?
