The brains at our Historical Society wanted to hold a Halloween stint at one of our cemeteries....All kinds of ways to descecrate a cemetery.

I have always thought that no ghost would want to hang around a boring cemetery there are lots of other places to haunt..

Savannah, Georgia America's most haunted city.Why don't these people let them shoot in the cemetery after all they have ghost tour at night I think it cost 27.00...

They should be forced to get the okay from every single family who has a loved one buried there. Short of that, no, mix, nein. Build your own fake cemetery with headstones made of Styrofoam.

As a Gettysburg College grad, I've been somewhat ambivalent about the "Ghost Tour" industry that really took off in the area in the early 90's...about the time the movie "Gettysburg" was being filmed and released.

At first I thought it was simply cheap, commercial sensationalism, but it did seem to draw a lot of people to the area who would not have come otherwise. The tours do not go onto National Park Service land or the National Cemetary, and the few tours I've gone on when back visiting were guided by young locals who tended to be very sympathetic to, and respectful of the fighting men of both sides, and in fact, pretty knoweldgable of the different phases of the battle.

FWIW, I had a couple of "ghostly" experiences myself at G-burg.

I’m of the opinion that if they don’t desecrate or damage the cemetary in any way, why not?

There have been many movies that have scenes filmed in New Orleans cemeteries.

One of those is Easy Rider, which I've never seen, here with Peter Fonda at the Italian Benevolent Society Tomb that was built in 1857 and located in St.Louis No.1 cemetery. I'm told that they didn't asked permission, they just went ahead and filmed.

Too bad, I'd like to see it. It would not bother me for them to film in the cemeteries where my loved ones are buried. The money could go to keeping the cemetery in good repair.

Seriously, why use a real cemetery when a fake can easily be built, and more fitting to the purpose?
