Old Burial Grounds, Canada - 21st August 2009

By: Rennire

I've gone to visit another graveyard here (There sure are a lot of them around!) This one is the oldest in the city, it's called the Old Burial grounds and it's located in downtown Halifax.

The entrance is marked by a giant lion monument.

The trees block out some of the sun and it gives the place a very eerie feel.

Lots of the writing on the stones is really hard to make out. It leaves some of this people's stories to be up to your imagination. What's this? Someone was murdered?

Here is one of the older stones.

The skull with wings on top was a popular image back then.

In later years the skull changed to an angel head like this on this one:
(The light was really working against me trying to take pictures, sorry!)

And some more information about it:

I wonder if this place is haunted... Hmmm
