Would you dare walk at night among tombs where some dead still don't rest?

The episode opens by asking listeners if they'd dare walk among tombs where the dead don't rest, introducing five cemeteries that defy time. It begins with La Noria in Chile's Atacama Desert, a former nitrate mining town abandoned in the early 20th century. The cemetery there has exposed human bones due to grave desecration, and legends say angry souls rise at night, with reports of dark figures and mysterious voices. Next is Nueva Esperanza in Lima, Peru, the world's second-largest cemetery, inaugurated in 1961 for Andean and Amazonian migrants. During All Saints' Day, families decorate tombs with flowers, bring food and drinks, and hold parties with music and dance. Paranormal stories include shadowy protectors and moving objects attributed to returning spirits. The episode then shifts to Chernobyl, mentioning cemeteries in the exclusion zone where people returned to bury loved ones despite radiation. Vehicle graveyards from the cleanup efforts now sit corroded, with legends of liquidators' spirits wandering restlessly. Visitors report human figures, unexplained sounds, and temperature drops. Tolomato in Florida, the oldest U.S. city's cemetery, holds over a thousand burials including historical figures. It's known for hauntings like the ghost of a boy who fell from a tree and the bishop whose corpse exploded during his funeral due to gas buildup. Finally, Okuno-In on Mount Koya in Japan is a sacred Buddhist cemetery with over 200,000 tombstones. Legends include Kobo Daishi in eternal meditation and the Sugatami no Ido well where not seeing your reflection predicts death within three years. The episode concludes by inviting listener feedback on which cemeteries they'd visit.
