I can't get anyone to walk here with us. It was hard even to drag Silas in there the first few times. My dog believes in ghosts? I thought he was an atheist.
Actually I've found that even atheists are afraid of cemeteries at night. What's up with that?
If you don't believe in an afterlife, then you wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. If you're afraid of live people, like maybe a homicidal maniac coincidentally hanging out in there while you are, I feel confident in assuring you that if they're homicidal then the last place they'd be is in a cemetery. Who wants to come in second? If they were there, for whatever reason, they probably wouldn't even have a knife or an axe with them. Why bother? Plus, all that's bulky.
Let's all—including my dog but not me—reach deep inside. What makes you reluctant to walk in a beautiful cemetery in moonlight and fog? Are you any more likely to do it now?
I would guess the dog can smell the dead people and maybe that makes it anxious. I haven't had an opportunity to visit a cemetery at night. All those headstones would be good hiding places for living bad guys, so you would have to be hyper-aware of your surroundings. I'd take my telescoping baton- jump out and startle me and I'll break your leg.
