When thinking of Victorian Horror, my mind always envisions a cemetery. No matter if it is a horrific story of accidental burial or maybe a grave robbing band of thieves, Highgate Cemetery has always stood out in my mind. Graced in literature, this cemetery was founded in 1839 by Parliamentary action. The act authorized the construction of seven private cemeteries to solve the intolerable burial problems in London. The cemetery has many permanent residences, including such famous people as Karl Marx. If you are planning a trip to London, make sure you take a day and wonder through this historic and mysterious cemetery.
"..theres always room for one more. Any volunteers..."
