A Haunted Cemetery in Bogotá, Myths, and Legends Make History More Exciting

If you were to ask me what is one of my favorite things to do when visiting a new city, my answer would be morbid. It may surprise a few others, but maybe not so much.

After I have walked the town and found coffee, I would research the most haunted thing to do, while sitting at the coffee shop. Usually, it is a cemetery; I will go immediately after I finish my coffee.

Because what is better than being hopped up on caffeine while ghost hunting?

I believe in honoring the spirits; part of that is knowing the history of the place I am visiting. With history come myths, legends, and stories.

The dark and the light knowing the history of a location helps keep the memories alive and hopefully will prevent history from repeating itself.
