Walk through the cemetery and learn about the thousands of bodies buried beneath you. The guide will talk you through the history of the graveyard and why the spirits may be upset! With 477 bodies buried here, there are often reports of ghostly sightings – especially of a man dressed in 19th-century clothing.
