Cat from London {England}

Do you know the creepy true story of the ghosts of Highgate Cemetery?

Highgate Cemetery is supposedly one of the most haunted places of London, England. One man, whose car had broken down, reported seeing a hideous apparition with glowing red eyes. Another man was knocked to the ground by a creature that "seemed to glide" from the wall of the cemetery and then disappeared into thin air. Some say it's a vampire, waiting for unsuspecting victims to take with him under the foliage-covered grounds.

Besides the ghosts and the vampire, Highgate Cemetery is also home to several cats who are said to be there to protect us from this evil.

However, those who are brave enough will discover one of London's most stunning places (more pictures here). The cemetery is divided into two parts, each with their separate entrance fees, tours, and visiting rules. Highgate Cemetery opened in the nineteenth century as a response to London's lack of burial grounds. It's the third of the seven cemeteries to be built back then. Some famous graves included those of Karl Marx, Douglas Adams, George Elliot, and Patrick Caulfield.

Address: Swain's Lane, Highgate, London N6 6PJ, England.
