Most of us with at least a little bit of sense wouldn't buy a house anywhere near a cemetery. You can be as skeptical as you like about ghosts and spirits, but that's not going to stop you from the inevitable freakout when things go bump in the night. There's just something about them which makes them fine to visit, but not to stay.
Unfortunately, some people like Vincent Marcello from New Orleans don't really have a choice. He had no idea he was actually living on top of a 18th century graveyard until he started excavating for a pool in his backyard. And came up with bodies. The workers ended up finding 13 caskets, and Vincent Marcello no doubt went completely mad.
