Located just-around the corner from my home lies an old graveyard. Etched in the side, "In the God's Acre Lie the Descendants of Hans Graf". It's unique in that it's elevated- the graves may be above ground level.
Local superstition regards this area as a hazard... While I don't usually side with the non-critical thinker, I'll concede that circling the stone perimeter backward five times is likely to result in head injury. And as for the spirit of a barking dog, the live ones in the neighborhood are louder.
It's on private property, and growth of vegetation is leading to degradation of the stones, (I can see a change in the 1.5 years I've lived in the area). So I thought it wouldn't hurt to lean-over the perimeter and get a few photos...
Further down the lane, a dilapidated barn bears the name of it's builders- are they in the cemetery?
