> [@madmonk28](#): > > My favorite fact about Upton Sinclair’s modest grave is that it is directly across from the family crypt of the guy who invented Wonder Bread, not sure old Upton wanted to spend eternity looking at the grand tomb of a food industrialist. Though you do have to admit it is rather funny =) I find it amusing that the town my mom lives in had one funeral home in a big sprawling brick building get turned to apartments about 30 years ago. I recently ran into someone relatively new to town [only been there 10 years, she was my moms cleaner for a couple years] who was living there. I asked if they ever had anything creepy happen there and they said not, and asked why so I explained that it had been a funeral home. Few months later I see them again and ask after them and they had to move because strange shit kept happening to them and it was haunted :dubious::rolleyes: Talk about suggestable. 2 years nothing, next thing you know the place is haunted and they have to move. ---

I had a friend in real estate, who told me that Chinese people will not buy a house near a graveyard-bad feng sui, or something. ---

We seriously considered a house next to a cemetary. Pepper Mill liked it – nice and quiet. But I was always worried about the doorbell ringing late a night, with the neighbors wanting to borrow a cup of sugar or … something. ---
