Your story is great.I write story when ever i can i have wrote ones about 7 year old girl ghosts who become a girls friend. Some times try to think of real life experences they make the storys real life .

The girl who posted the URL below stating that she was at Vanderbilts tomb in Staten island, your pic shows you are in front of a structure but its not Vanderbilts Tomb.

If you notice in the URL below, Vanderbilts tomb has steps in front of each doorway. Where you are standing has no steps, obviously you are not in front of Vanderbilts Tomb.

I went there the other day and all the holes in the fence were refenced up you can cleary tell that there were many holes but were repatched, there is a low fence tho that you can jump because the barbwire is high and u can fit threw, my friends hoped it and took pictures atop the tomb and in the clear daylight you can see fog in the picture it is very scary

what town is staten island

Wow that sounds so cool!I wish I could go but I live in T’n'T(Caribbean Island)and I’m broke.Even if I could go none of my friends would go with and I am so not going alone!

Does anyone have pictures or proof of this happening?

i would go but i,m 2 scared 2 go but i would but my heart won’t let me

wow this sounds really scary i rly want to go!!!!!!!!!! and jeyline who leaves their phone number on the internet!!!!!!!you PERV!!!!!

to tell the truth i have seen my share of things happening.. but to the picture that is there if you are to sharpen the entire left side and invert the colours there is clearly a hand and if you stare at it a little longer with regular colour you can make out 2 legs walking or what looks like they are walking. in my opinion, not like anyone cares but, it looks like a elderly man walking and reaching to tip his hat in good fortune upon seeing people in the road as a courtesy.

I actually just went today and went to this site because me and my friends were very excited of what we did today. Nothing Horribly creepy, just a long long dark narrow road leading up to a bunch of buildings, but 3 of our friends chickened out when we all heard this large grunt sound. Pretty eerie as hell, but me and my other friend wanted to explore more so we kept walking and ran into a bunch of buildings, and decided we’ll go back next time because our friends went back to quick. Next time were bringing our Ghost Huntin friends with us. If you want to go the way we went, we went up this huge hill till we reached a sign saying GreenBelt. Hop the small bar and follow the path.

okay guys ghost and spirit do exist i seen alot sooo sorry to disappoint you all that believe in ghosts and spirits in a cemetery. Its not possible do your research before traveling!

nytime I plan on a trip I spend quite a lot of time in advance researching the local cemeteries, hospitals and residential areas. I delve into a lot of history and research a lot on the web. Some of you people need to do your research if your looking to capture anything good… it’s like scoping out for a great night club to dance at, so why would you settle for Old Man Pippy’s broken down gin joint? YES! You CAN do research before you go ANYWHERE.

well i personally want to go there, and the good news is i live in ny,ny so i can easily hope the ferry or something anywaycan someone show me a picture of these so called spoilt pictures please i would really like to see what you are talking about thanks

Well guys i had been there a few years back and the big hype about taking the picture in front and having extra people in it or not being in it is a lie…have done it and took a few pictures with dif cameras…and all the same result…its fun to go see and you can not go into it thru the cemetary b/c it is locked off…so you need to take a trail to cut thru a hole in the fence…but the tomb is has been vandilized quite a bit…

I lived by there and I saw spooky things like orbs.

I love to hear a good spooky story… whether they are fact or fiction. What bothers me is the fact that people have no respect for the dead. Please, don’t climb on top of tombs, sit on tombstones, etc. It’s for these reasons that most of these places have become “closed to the public” – when this happens, you ruin it for the rest of us.

my grandparents are buried there, and i have seen shadows and noises there. its really freaky. i hate going there.

Here’s the truth:
I grew up in Grant City on Staten Island, it’s the town right where Moravian Cem.,is. We went there to EXPLORE or hide from your parents when we were kids., about a dozen of us. It’s adjacent to High Rock Park /Pouch Camp they are all kind of connected. I haven’t been there since high school but I used to go just about every other day in the summer from like age 10 – 13. , I hear some kids ruined it and vandalized the entire tomb. (someone who apparently moved here from Brooklyn or somewhere else, Staten Islanders don’t vandalize their own town, we’re very territorial)
Back to the story……my brother & I would either go straight through the back of the cemetery and climb the iron gates leading to the road that lead up to the mausoleum or we would go up Altamont St.( I think that was the name of it) and cut through High Rock Park, always a way in if you are willing to be adventurous. We liked to go in right over the barbed wire fence and near the stone wall where the iron gate was. When you walk up the path (winding road) you begin to sweat., it was always very quiet & peaceful, but you felt as if you were going through some time warp every time. Some areas were really cold and then you would walk a few feet and it would be very warm. This was back in 1983- 88 (guessing)., we were not aware of all of the ghost stories , actually don’t think there were many back then, there was a story that originally there was a solid – GOLD train inside the tomb and someone broke in and stole it an thats when the gates went up., also some stories of people jumping off the top or falling ??And don;t forget the very true story of the girl to tried to break in to see inside and the gates fell on her, she died up there in the 60′s . With all of that going on their is definitely going to be some spiritual activity in the area. To the right of the mausoleum if you keep walking up will find some above ground graves (tombs) smaller and more like a coffin size, if you can picture old Dracula movies you can see it in your head. Theywere for Vanderbilts extended family, (relatives with whom did not bare the V anderbilt name & who were not to be buried in the much larger Mousolem,you will see lots of children’s graves which I always found odd)
We never brought camera’s up there, we were very respectful, aside from the occasional joint and pink champale. (we were kids!) We maybe carved a name in a tree but that’s about it. We never stayed after dark because it was rumored that island devil worshipers stayed up there at night, we didn’t want to take the chance, but several times we found things, like knives & bloody trails,it was said they would initiate members by feeding their blood down the air vents on the top of the tomb, there were holes /some ventilation system that was built to preserve the place. But if you ask anyone that has spent “actual” time up there the will tell you that it’s something you will never forget.It has a pull it makes you want to bring others up there with you and spread your stories, you always want to go back, I am 34 and tried my best to bring my husband up there this summer. I got him as far as the Camp but he refused to pass the no trespassing sign, he acted very strange, and he DID not want to be there. The funny part of this story is I didn’t even tell him the stories, I was just trying to get him to se this beautiful peaceful place and then I would tell him the stories.. it didn’t work. But my brother promised to go back up there with me soon……..If I remember I will take pics and post them ……………..Staten Islander’s please share your stories….
