Are graveyards really more haunted than other places? And what can the way we remember our dead tell us about our relationship with death, ghosts and the possibility of an afterlife?
In this episode of the Paranormal Pendle Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Kate Cherrell, author, paranormal expert and lifelong lover of cemeteries, to discuss her fascinating new book, Memorials to the Dead.
Kate takes us deep into the strange, beautiful and sometimes macabre world of graveyards, Victorian mourning traditions and paranormal belief.
We discuss:
⚰️ Memorials to the Dead and the inspiration behind Kate’s new book
🪦 Her lifelong fascination with graveyards and cemeteries
👻 Are graveyards actually hotspots for ghosts and paranormal activity?
🕯️ Kate’s favourite graves, tombs and memorials

🖤 Victorian mourning customs and attitudes towards death
💇 The extraordinary tradition of creating mourning jewellery and mementos from human hair
🌑 Why death was such a visible part of everyday Victorian life
👁️ Near-death experiences and what they might tell us about consciousness
✨ Could there really be life after death?
🏛️ And which famous cemeteries are still on Kate’s ultimate cemetery wishlist?
From beautiful Victorian memorials and forgotten graves to ghosts, mourning rituals and the biggest question of all — what happens to us when we die? — this is a fascinating journey through our relationship with death and the supernatural.
