Czech National Cemetery, Vysehrad, Prague. 2013.
Vysehrad Cemetery, Prague
Most of the famous Czechs are buried at Vysehrad National Cemetery. I like to go there when I am in Ptague, Czech Republic.
The Assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, 1942
Newly appointed Acting Reichprotektor Reinhard Heydrich was Hitler's second right-hand man immediately became the Butcher of Prague as a result of genocide, extracting Czechs for labour camps and a principal architect for The Final Solution. The white flagstones in my video represent where the car was stopped. The hole in the wall is where the trapped paratroopers desperately tried to bore in to what they mistakenly thought was a sewer. Excellent documentaries are available on Youtube. At least three DVDs are available: Operation Daybreak (1975), Anthropoid (2016) and The Butcher of Prague 2017. I prefer the 1975 version that starred Anton Diffring as Heydrich. Anton often played German officers. I mistakenly confected another name. The exteriors were shot in Prague; often in the exact places in relation to the events. The film companies reconstructed the church and the crypt in the national film studios.
360 video: Vysehrad Cemetery, Prague, Czech Republic
Vysehrad, the former seat of Czech emperors used from the 10th century, is built on a steep hill from which it overlooks the Vltava River. Many famous Czech artists, writers and politicians are buried on Vyšehrad Cemetery and the cemetery itself is worth the visit for its historical atmosphere.
Nowadays, Vyšehrad is a public park popular among locals and tourists alike. Take a stroll there and admire the beautiful architecture of Church of St Peter and St Paul or just sit on the fortification and enjoy the view.

Czech Republic: Night Wolves honour Soviet soldiers at Olsany Cemetery
Courtesy to Žarko Raptor Jovanović, Hej Obcane
Night Wolves bikers laid flowers at the Olsany Cemetery in Prague on Saturday to honour the Soviet soldiers who lost their lives during World War II.
Participants laid flowers and wreaths on the graves of the soldiers to commemorate of the 71st anniversary of Soviet victory over the Nazis.
On Saturday as they arrived in the Czech capital, Night Wolves bikers were met by pro-Ukrainian protesters as they entered the city. Police officers were deployed to avoid confrontations, and some protesters were arrested. Over 100,000 Ukrainians live in the country - the largest number among foreigners in the Czech Republic. Ukrainians accuse Russia of supporting the rebel Donbass region in the East of their country.

Haunted Prague : The Plague Ghosts of Olsany Cemetery
A site survey. Paranormal investigations in August 2016 took me to Prague, Czech Republic - one of the most haunted cities in the world. All Cemeteries in Prague have recorded Ghost activity. None more so than Olsany Cemetery which is located in the district of Zizkov.
Founded in 1680 as a Mass Plague Pit, capable of holding many thousands of corpses, it was created as an emergency measure by the Czech authorities to deal with a huge epidemic of Bubonic Plague.
In 1679 the city of Vienna suffered an epidemic of Black Death, a virulent strain which cost Vienna 76,000 lives. Many of the citizens of Vienna fled to Prague to escape the horrific effects but just brought the disease with them. So many people were dying on the streets of Prague that the local churchyards could not cope. Therefore Olsany Cemetery, a large site, was given over to the Plague Dead. By the end of 1681, 83,000 citizens of Prague were buried en mass at Olsany Necropolis. By the end of 1682, 100,000 infected corpses had been laid to rest here.
It is these Plague Ghosts who haunt Olsany Cemetery - they have been seen several times over the centuries - walking in a procession many hundreds long, all displaying the horrific effects of the disease. These Ghosts are benign - they do not even seem to notice the living and certainly prove no danger or threat.
There is full public access to Olsany Cemetery.
Haunted Prague : The dark legacy of Dablice Cemetery
A survey of the haunted site. Paranormal investigations during the summer of 2016 took me to Prague - one of the most haunted cities on the planet. Dablice Cemetery is located in the northern district of Kobylisy and is the second largest Necropolis within Prague. Quite a recent Cemetery, it was founded between 1912 - 1914. Today Dablice is a well maintained public burial site where the citizens of Prague come to respect and honour their dead. However, Dablice does have a dark legacy which is not obvious to see if you don't know its history.
It is the unmarked graves which generate the paranormal activity within this beautiful Necropolis. Dablice Cemetery, right from the outset, hasn't just been a burial place for the citizens of Prague. It has also been the communal grave for every suicide, unbaptised infant death and autopsy cadaver since 1912. Also, during Nazi occupation, all Czech freedom fighters murdered by the Nazis were thrown into unmarked graves. Even after liberation, the Socialist state did exactly the same. Between 1950 - 1989 all Enemies of the State murdered by the government were treated the same - buried in Dablice in unmarked graves without proper funeral rites.
The most famous of these were the brave Czech nationalists who, on 27th May 1942, carried out the assassination of Schutzstaffel Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, the Hangman of Prague and heir apparent of Adolf Hitler. After these brave men were betrayed by one of their own, they were all finally killed in a shoot out with Nazi stormtroopers in St Cyril and Methodius Cathedral in Prague. Their bodies were buried in Dablice. There is currently a campaign in the Czech Republic to honour all of these abandoned bodies with a memorial. Given that so many people since 1912 were buried in secret at night, with no religious service, it is not surprising that Dablice has a reputation for being haunted.
Perhaps if a memorial for all of the abandoned dead of Dablice is raised - this will act as an exorcism and the restless dead will finally be at peace ?
There is full public access to Dablice Cemetery. Note - Dablice Cemetery should not be confused with Kobylisy Cemetery, even though they are close.
The dark legacy of Dablice Cemetery. Located in Prague - one of the most haunted cities in the world.

Creepy Night Walk in Prague VYSEHRAD CEMETERY | Day of the Dead
we stroll through Vysehrad cemetery at night, it is the Day of the Dead and for this reason we chose the one with most important personalities so to see the best ceremony possible and candles on display. We also wanted to pay our respect to Milada Horáková and Alfons Mucha since we personally keep them intimately at heart. Don't forget this is a Castle so it has so much to offer other than just the cemetery. In reality it was Prague's first castle! Built before the Castle everyone knows about in the city center.
1)Alfons Maria Mucha 24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939 was a Czech painter, illustrator and graphic artist, living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters of Sarah Bernhardt. He produced illustrations, advertisements, decorative panels and designs which became among the best-known images of the period.
In the second part of his career, at the age of 43, he returned to his homeland and devoted himself to painting a series of twenty monumental canvases known as The Slav Epic, depicting the history of all the Slavic peoples of the world. which he painted between 1912 and 1926. In 1928, on the 10th anniversary of the independence of Czechoslovakia, he presented the series to the Czech nation. He considered it his most important work. It is now on display in the national museum of Prague.
2)Bedřich Smetana 2 March 1824 – 12 May 1884 was a Czech composer who pioneered the development of a musical style that became closely identified with his country's aspirations to independent statehood. He has been regarded in his homeland as the father of Czech music. Internationally he is best known for his opera The Bartered Bride and for the symphonic cycle Má vlast (My Homeland), which portrays the history, legends and landscape of the composer's native country.
3)Franz Kafka July 3, 1883 – June 3, 1924 was a German-speaking Bohemian Jewish novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work which fused the elements of realism and the fantastic typically featured the isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers and was interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt and absurdity. His best known works included Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis), Der Process (The Trial) and Das Schloss (The Castle). The term Kafkaesque entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.
Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today the capital of the Czech Republic.
4)Milada Horáková 25 December 1901 – 27 June 1950 was a Czech politician. She was a victim of judicial execution committed by the communist party on fabricated charges of conspiracy and treason. Milada Horáková was sentenced to death on 8 June 1950. Many prominent figures in the West, notably Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill and Eleanor Roosevelt, petitioned for her life, but the sentences were confirmed. She was executed by hanging on 27 June 1950; at the age of 48. Her reported last words were (in translation): I have lost this fight but I leave with honor. I love this country, I love this nation, strive for their well being. I depart without rancor towards you. I wish you, I wish you...

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.

World’s 10 Most Haunted Cemeteries - Halloween 2014
Here are 10 of the worlds most haunted cemeteries.
Cemeteries are, in general, creepy places, but some are definitely more goosebump-inducing than others.
Here are 10 of the world’s most haunted graveyards.
Number 10. St. Louis Cemetery Number 1, New Orleans, Louisiana. This one ranks high on the scary scale for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that voodoo priestess Marie Laveau is entombed there. Rumor has it she still grants wishes to those who scrawl 3 “X”es on her grave.
Number 9. Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh, Scotland. Those heading here are well advised to pack a first aid kit. People have reported being scratched, bruised, burned and bumped while inside the grounds of the Covenanters’ Prison, a place where mass and brutal violence was once the norm.
Number 8. Gettysburg Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Many say the US is still haunted by the Civil War, and at this burial ground they really mean it. Ghosts of both Confederate and Union soldiers are said to wander the area, including one that has a fondness for photobombing.
Number 7. Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France. If you prefer seeing the ghosts of famous people to the normal, everyday ones, then this is the place for you. Regularly reported sightings include such notable figures as Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, and Maurice Ravel.
Number 6. Westminster Hall Burying Ground, Baltimore, Maryland. If you don’t mind a bit of blood-curdling screaming – there’s a skull of a slain minister that yells a lot – Westminster provides a great opportunity to visit one of America’s greatest writers, Edgar Allen Poe. Not only is he buried there, his ghost is said to be a regular.
Number 5. Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague, Czech Republic. Building over a burial ground is pretty much asking for a haunting. Not only did people double whammy themselves by putting a cemetery on top of a cemetery, they did so around 10 times. Not surprisingly, it’s considered a hotbed of paranormal activity.
Number 4. Resurrection Cemetery, Justice, Illinois. This is the perennial destination of Resurrection Mary, an apparition that has reportedly hitched more than one ride with kind strangers, only to vanish at the cemetery’s gates.
Number 3. Highgate Cemetery, London, England. Among the many spectral occupants of this location is a woman with long grey hair who frantically searchers for her deceased children. It’s said that she murdered them oh so many years ago.
Number 2. Chestnut Hill, Exeter, Rhode Island. When the body of Mercy Brown, who died from tuberculosis in the late 1800s, was exhumed it showed no signs of decay. Back then she was suspected of being a vampire, but now it’s said her time is spent visiting and consoling the ill.
Number 1. Stull Cemetery, Stull, Kansas. Other cemeteries can brag about their undead as much as they want, but they’ll never match Stull’s jewel of an attraction. It’s said to be the home of the actual ‘Gateway to Hell’.
Which one gives you the biggest case of the creeps?

Abandoned cemetery mysterious Glowing cross and Lismore's first cemetery
Hi everyone, lets explore Lismore's first pioneer cemetery since it is my home town i thought I'd start off my proper #cemetery explores here.
The cemetery was first established in 1860 with the first person buried here in 1860. His name was George Lumley. Also included in my explore is the legendary Glowing cross of Lismore that caused a bit of a sensation when a newspaper did an article on it back in 1978. It became such a sensation that people from all of the state came to marvel at the mysterious glowing cross until of was stolen. I have tried to get as much information of some of the people buried there but trying to find more info became rather hard as much of the history was lost after the great 1974 floods that hit Lismore hard. I hope you enjoy the video and if you like the video please like and subscribe to my channel. Don't forget to hit the notification bell to keep up to date with my latest videos. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of this explore. See you all the next video. You can follow me on instagram @
