On Halloween, we are always looking for the adventure. As kids, we dressed up as our favorite super hero, ghost or goblin. As teenagers and adults, we enjoy dressing up but are always looking for that extra adventure on Halloween. Some go to parties, some go to haunted houses but some like me and other geocachers have been known to Geocache in cemeteries.
Out of respect for those that have passed on, I have always been a little reluctant to find Geocaches in cemeteries. I can't say, however, that I have never done it. It seems that when I do go searching for Geocaches in a cemetery, I do it around Halloween just to get the extra adventure.

When placing geocaches, please follow the rules. One of the rules of geocaching is not to place a cache in a restricted, prohibited or otherwise inappropriate location.
Additional regulations and laws that apply only to your country and region may further restrict cache placement. A cache may be disabled or archived if one or more of the following is true. Please note that the list is not exhaustive; there are many reasons why a cache may be disabled or archived.

- If your cache is reported by the land owner or land manager as being an unwanted intrusion, Groundspeak will respect the wishes of the land owner or manager.
- The cache placement is in an area that is highly sensitive to additional foot and/or vehicular traffic including, but not limited to, archaeological sites, historical sites and cemeteries. Note that some cemeteries permit cache placement.
- The cache is on property belonging to a railroad. In the United States we generally require a distance of 150 ft (46 m) from active tracks. Local laws may vary.
- The cache is problematic due to its proximity to a public structure, including and not limited to, highway bridges, dams, government buildings, schools, military installations, hospitals, airports and other such locations.
