the details

About a mile through the woods behind the pawn shop, between a few banks of trees, there is a fence that surrounds a graveyard, which was once protected with a lock that looks to have been recently broken by great force. The cemetery houses an alarming but not altogether surprising amount of headstones. The atmosphere is significantly gloomy and somber, as if it knows what it's holding. A path winds through the headstones, allowing for access to the graves in order to get a better look at their dates and wear. Some date back centuries, as far as the 1700s, but most are dated through the 1970s - more than half of the ones you'll find as you navigate your way through the space, and something almost as alarming as the sheer number of deaths through these dates is the fact that there are deaths of all ages, from infant to elderly, as if there was a significant event that lead to it; like a natural disaster or some other sort of catastrophic event. Some of them vary in size and design, sometimes resembling other structures. Surprisingly, for the fact that it is a graveyard and has a pretty large amount of headstones, the further you go, the less gloomy the atmosphere becomes - some of the headstones are almost comical in their engravings and how they've been erected, making you feel almost at ease as you explore.

(Well, as at ease as one can get in a cemetery in a place that's eternally night.)

Also significant to note is that one of the graves appears to be made out of metal instead of stone. Upon further investigation, one will find a plaque, not inscribed with a date or with a name, but with a poem:

¡Quién sostiene las luces que cruzan en la sombra
de esta mi densa soledad tan rara!

Spirits will often be found around here, perching on the edge of headstones and leaving trinkets and flowers in the grass beds. They'll generally leave you alone, more often there to visit a friend than to cause any sort of mischief, but there are times where they gather in a group around one of the graves from the 1970s. It's never the same one and they don't look as if they want to be disturbed, but there's nothing that indicates that this is anything but spirits paying respects to the dead. If you stick around long enough, they may offer you a trinket before they vanish.
