Some relatives and I are undergoing the formalia regarding selling the house and property my grandfather left us when he passed last year.

While filling out the forms electronically I noticed that the small field labelled "Protected due to culturally significant site" was automatically ticked.

So I just looked it up, and as expected it was in regards to the old cemetery right next to the property. For as long as I can remember we always referred to the area as "The old cemetary."

I allways thought it was like 200 years old at most. Nope, turns out that it's almost 600 years old on paper - The first written reference to the site is from 1432, and it is therefore most likely older. And a small piece of it overlaps with the property from my grandfather.

If it wasn't for the fact that we've all agreed to sell our share to my aunt I would've asked my GF if she's interested in becoming creepy crypt keepers when we retire.

At least dig up the occult tomes before the property transfer
