Prague Jewish Cemetery
Walking through the Jewish Cemetery in Prague. It was the only place in central Prague where Jews were buried from around 1429 to the late 1800's. There were strict laws about where Jews could be buried. They are not sure if there's 10.000 buried here or 100.000. It's a very small piece of land, and bodies were buried on top of each other.
The Old Jewish Cemetery
The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague is located next to the Klaus Synagogue it is of great importance but it is not known exactly when the cemetery was established.
1990 Retour à PRAGUE libérée ! (3/6) Tour Poudrière, Cours Vaklavskié, Ghetto
En mini camping-car, arrivée à Prague après la Hongrie, la Roumanie, la Pologne et l'Allemagne de l'Est.
La Tour Poudrière était la plus prestigieuse des 13 portes édifiées sur les remparts de la Vieille Ville. Un chef d'œuvre d'art médiéval !
Au-delà, le cours Vaklavskié, est l'avenue principale de la Ville Nouvelle et monte jusqu'au Musée National.
Le métro nous y mène.
Sous la statue équestre du Roi Venceslas, un mémorial est toujours fleuri là où Jan Palach, jeune étudiant de 20 ans, s'est immolé par le feu contre l'intervention russe de 1968…
Le ghetto était au nord de la Vieille Ville, au bord du fleuve. On y trouve toujours ses 6 synagogues, les 12000 stèles de son vieux cimetière, son ancien Hôtel de Ville dont les horloges tournent en sens inverse, et la maison de Kafka…
Haunted Prague : Zidovske Cemetery
A survey of the haunted site. During summertime 2016, Paranormal investigations took me to Prague, Czech Republic - one of the most haunted cities on the planet. Together with my friend and comrade, Jukka Sandberg (as seen at 50 secs into the video - just as a mounted section of the Czech Police passed us by !) we visited Zidovske Cemetery.
Zidovske Cemetery exists in the district of Zizkov - an ancient district of Prague famous for its many hauntings, legends and myths. Zizkov also holds the highest concentration of Cemeteries and Necropoli. Within walking distance of Zidovske Cemetery, also lies three other Cemeteries : Olsany, Vinohrady and Strasnice (otherwise known as The German Evangelical Cemetery).
Zidovske Cemetery was first founded in 1680 due a massive outbreak of The Black Death which claimed over 100,000 lives. It is separated from Olsany Cemetery, which was also created in 1680 for the same reasons, by a single road. However, the current Zidovske Cemetery was established in Victorian times, circa 1891. All of the graves which can be seen today are Victorian in origin (as with Olsany) - but just like Olsany - the Victorian graves of Zidovske lie upon a mass Plague Pit, many metres deep.
At Zidovske Cemetery there is another Cemetery called The New Jewish Cemetery, which covers the SW corner of the site. However, unlike Zidovske Cemetery, which allows full public access (and is well patrolled by the police - as seen) there is no access to The New Jewish Cemetery due to vandalism in the past. Which is a shame. I was unable to capture any footage due to the large wall which seperates the two. The main gates to The New Jewish Cemetery, which lie on Zizkov High Street, are permanently locked.
Just as every Cemetery in Prague is known to be haunted, it is not possible to identify the names of individual hauntings.

TRIP TO PRAGUE - CZECH REPUBLIC
Prague (play /ˈprɑːɡ/; Czech: Praha pronounced [ˈpraɦa] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic.[4] Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 2.3 million.[5] The city has a temperate oceanic climate with warm summers and chilly winters.
Prague has been a political, cultural and economic centre of Europe[citation needed] and particularly central Europe[citation needed] during its 1,100 year existence. For centuries, during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.[6][7] Later it was an important city in the Habsburg Monarchy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire,[citation needed] and after World War I became the capital of Czechoslovakia. The city played major roles in the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in 20th-century history, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of twentieth century Europe. Main attractions include the following: Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter, the Lennon Wall, and Petřín hill. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Prague boasts more than ten major museums, along with countless theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. Also, Prague is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including the famous Charles University. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination, and the city receives more than 4.1 million international visitors annually, as of 2009.[8][9] Prague is classified as a Beta+ global city according to GaWC studies, comparable to Berlin, Rome, or Vancouver.
A modern public transportation system connects the city. Prague is also accessible by road, train, and air.
Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has become one of Europe's (and the world's) most popular tourist destinations. It is the sixth most-visited European city after London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin.[31] Prague suffered considerably less damage during World War II than some other major cities in the region, allowing most of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the world's most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern. Some popular sights include:
Prague Castle with the St. Vitus Cathedral which store the Czech Crown Jewels

The old Jewish Cemetery [ ~ October 2013 ~ ]
In dignity and beauty - with love and honour...
In our memory:
forever
~^~^~^~^~^~^~
This very old Jewish cemetery here in the South of Germany exists since the year 1841 - and many of these gravestones are meanwhile completely washed out. The last burial on this cemetery took place in 1968.
It is a really quiet and peaceful place; full of little artifacts and traditional arts...
Pretty unique!

Haunted Prague : Vinohrady Cemetery
A site survey of the haunted Necropolis. Paranormal investigations during summer 2016 led me to Prague, Czech Republic - one of the most haunted cities in the world. Vinohrady Cemetery is located in the district of Zizkov, one of Prague's oldest districts, which is steeped in legend, hauntings and mythology. Vinohrady Cemetery lies on Zizkov's main street and is in close walking distance to three other Cemeteries : Olsany, Zidovsky and Strasnice (otherwise known as The German Evangelical Cemetery). That's four individual Necropoli within easy walking distance of each other. The highest concentration of burial sites in Prague lies within Zizkov.
Vinohrady Cemetery is Prague's 3rd largest Necropolis and covers 25 Acres. It is a Victorian Cemetery - founded in 1885. There are some beautiful gravestones and sculptures to look at.
All of Prague's Cemeteries have hauntings attached to them and Vinohrady is no exception. However it is not possible to identify the names of any particular haunting.
There is full public access to Vinohrady Cemetery as with most Czech Cemeteries.
