How would you guys like to be lost in this place after dark?

Have any of you globe-trotting FReepers ever visited Père Lachaise?

More desirable than having my car break down on Gratiot and 6 mile in Detroit coming home from a Red Wings hockey game........

All kidding aside, I wouldn't walk thru that place in the dark for anything......

[Jaidyn]

Very interesting, and no, I’ve never been there, and don’t want to go there. That would be a good place for a horror movie, and I’m too much of a wuss to watch them.

_____________________________________________

I do visit Paris, as my brother lives there, but have not been to any Paris cemetery.

It does not look as creepy as cemeteries in the Philippines.
The very large cemetery, probably 300 years old, in my town has turned up graves, as well as above ground crypts, or concrete vaults that are bashed open. Many of them are infant size.
I presume that lack of funding is a big problem.
It is a bit difficult to get money from the dead.

[EVO X]

Probably not. But the chances of getting beheaded or disemboweled aren’t quite as high the farther east and
south one travels...

I was there in the early nineties and don't remember seeing any of the creepy stuff. The most bizarre was all the hippes drinking and playing guitar around Morrison's grave.

One of the more popular graves was some famous romantic couple, like the inspiration for Romeo/Juliet or something.

A photographer’s dream.

Apparently, scratched on the top of Morrison’s grave:

When Are You Coming Back You Son of A B****

(without the asterisks, of course)

I went there in 1992. Very spooky place. Went to go see Morrisons grave.

I know a gal who visited that place. She said Oscar Wildes grave was overflowing with flowers and the lipstick on his gravestone was so thick you could cut it with a knife...

I visited the PLC many years ago when we were in France during Lance Armstrong’s 2nd to the last TDF. It’s not as creepy during the daytime because when we visited it really was sunny but the caretakers of the cemetery we spoke with said you are crazy if you here during the dead of night because he ALWAYS hears something moving and it’s not the wind..

Thanks for posting this. It was fascinating, and perfect for Halloween.

I have been to Pere LeChaise and am a co-author of a book of it.

I have kissed the tomb of Oscar Wilde which was the first reason I went there. (I am Irish) The lipstick is not so thick as you can cut it with a knife. The oils in the lipstick do stain the marble and Oscar’s great great nephew is fighting to keep people from kissing the grave.

I could give tours of the place and know many of the in-depth stories of the tombs due to all of the experts that I went with when contributing to the book.

It’s a fascinating and beautiful place. It’s full of wonderful and interesting stories that I treasure.

Sorry but it is a well known fact the scariest place on Earth is:

After all it is where the Corpse of the Constitution is defiled year after year.
