One night I and several other students were sitting on the ground next to some interesting grave stones, telling ghost stories in a cemetery on the campus of William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. It&#8217;s one of the things you do in a small town where there&#8217;s not much going on. As we sat there, something from beneath the ground stabbed (or poked) my hand which I was holding some of my weight on. It hurt! I don&#8217;t know what it was or why it happened but I jumped up and have never trusted sitting in cemeteries since then.<\/p>\n<p>However, I, like many Californians, do enjoy\u00a0 cemetery &amp; grave tours, ghost tours, and speculating about the afterlife.
