What would you do if you lived in a house across the road from a country cemetery that is "haunted"? We lose a lot of sleep listening to noisy teens across the road in the old country cemetery. We call 911 often but the police almost never arrive in time to catch anyone. Even when they have, they have only succeeded in getting the kids to stop driving through the cemetery. Now they park on the road which is probably worse since they make more noise closer to our bedroom window than if they went back in off the road.

Hi Mrs. P-

So what do you propose to do about the noisy teenagers in the cemetery?

I would have to think 911 is for emergencies such as a life and death situation. I did notice it's almost impossible to find the local police stations number in the phone book. The last book I had listed 911 for all emergency agencies like Fire, Police, Rescue, Poison Control and Ambulances. I had to call 411 to get the number for the police when it a routine call.

Hmmmm, that's a problem. They aren't even on your property.

#1) Don't shoot them.

You've tried the police. Although for non-emergencies, you aren't supposed to call 911, you are supposed to call the police directly. But I assume you do that, so forgive me for pointing that out.

Suggestions....

I assume that you have asked the police what you can do to get them off the road. That of course is your first action.
The expensive option is to try to get a night vision video camera that can record them, and then you have evidence to prosecute them for disturbing the peace or public nuisance. You can get a restraining order to keep them off of your road.
If the cemetary is supposed to be haunted, you can try to scare them. Wire the cemetary with some speakers and then just every once in a while play a creapy sound. Enough to spook them, but not constant enough that they find the speakers.
Don't go out there and try to scare them yourself, we had guns when we were teenagers. And if we were camping out, or hanging out in the woods, we had them with us for our own protection.
If you can get license plates, the police might tell you who is coming out there, and you can try the approach of complaining to their parents that the teens are hanging out there and making too much noice. Probably won't work with all of them, depending on the parents, but it probably will work with most. Or the police might lodge the complaint for you.
Find them a better place to hang than your road.
Have you tried politely asking the teens not to hang out there, because they are keeping you up, etc. I don't know the teens, so I wouldn't go out there alone without neighbors ready to spring to your defense.
Where do they park? On the road or on someone's land? Who owns that land? Put up a no parking sign, or a "reserved-violators will be towed" sign. If it's someone's land. Might be an option even if it's public land or road, but check with the police. If you can somehow eliminate the parking, the problem should go away or at least shift back into the cemetary.
Put up a roadside cross with an epitaph to someone being murdered there. Might make a few of them uneasy enough to leave. (I.e. You don't have to shoot one of them, just let them think you did.)
How regularly do they come. It it something you can break the habit with by "foul smells" or a strategically placed straw or leaf fire, a pile of manure. Anything to break the habit.
Flood the area with light. It's anathema to unruly teens.

Anybody else got ideas?
