Many cemeteries are frequented at night by assorted ne'er-do-wells and weirdoes. This problem could be solved if cemeteries (particularly those in urban areas) were lit up at night by floodlights (The kind you see at stadiums) operating on a timer (They could have "shades" placed to prevent light pollution
from straying to any nearby homes), in addition to strategically placed speakers playing an endless loop of specially selected muzak that discourages loitering, convenience stores around here employ these methods to deter these people from hanging around.

I bet those "shades" would let some "light" through.
Glad the muzak was "Real"....Ooops, sorry , wrong website. (link) |

Sounds like a big waste of energy to keep the weirdos out. Perhaps use motion sensors with the lights. Of course that would be a bit spooky if the lights keep coming on and you know nobody's there. |

Have some respect for the dead. Would you want your sleep disturbed like that? At least the wierdo freaks are darker and a bit quieter. I'd rather listen to somebody getting stabbed than muzak anyway. |

eh...+ just because I'm a great guy. |

// and you know nobody's there. // |

No, you just hope nobody - or nothing - is there .......... |

It's where Robert Johnson learned some great blues licks, too. |

As a weirdo / former cemetery-hanger-outer, I have to agree with jutta. |

I'd prefer the 'assorted ne'er-do-wells and weirdoes' were hanging out in a cemetery than on my street corner. Don't see the problem. Leave 'em alone. |

Cemeteries are supposed to be dark and creepy. You want to ruin a great tradition of horror movie sets and ghost story venues? |
|
| |
Or just have yourself buried at your local Barnes & Noble. |
|
| |
What have you got against weirdoes? |
|
| |
But where will all the goths have sex? |
