DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 My partner spends her Sundays in the local cemetery, come rain or shine. She packs a flask and sandwiches, and off she goes. Now she is having a Victorian style mourning dress, professionally made for her. She has this passion about death, especially in Victorian times. Do you know of anyone who has strange passions?
Charl91 Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 (edited) You're right, that is certainly odd. You can spend plenty of time in a cemetery when you're dead. Edited 9 June 2018 by Charl91
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 It sounds like you’ve met a woman who is as deranged as you, DT. How wonderful. There really is somebody for everyone.

Do you know of anyone who has strange passions? Apparently there’s about 30,000 people in and around the Leicester area who have this strange passion where every other week they descend upon the same place and pay vast amounts of money to watch 22 grown men wearing shorts and long socks kick a bag of wind around a field for an hour and a half. Raving bonkers if you ask me... 1

By the way, she is a fully qualified embalmer. True. She is an ex agency nurse that worked with the terminally ill, and often had to lay them out.

brucey Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 I used to be fascinated with death and dying as well, but then again I was suicidally depressed at the time.

Countryfox Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 When she’s asleep drive a stake through her heart, shoot her with a silver bullet or chuck her in a bath of holy water ... it’s the only way .. 1

Wymsey Posted 9 June 2018 Posted 9 June 2018 She might just like to enjoy, anywhere, a break from your presence. 1

Do you know of anyone who has strange passions? I must admit that I spent an hour or two wandering around Leicester's Welford Road Cemetery on Boxing Day, examining gravestones and taking photos of interesting ones, despite having no family/friends buried there. I've occasionally wandered around graveyards like that before - though not in Victorian dress or with a packed lunch. It's the lives that I find interesting, not the deaths. Some of the gravestones have stories to tell - often tragic stories if you're talking about Victoria era or around WW1: families afflicted by poverty, child death, war etc. Other stones are interesting for the trouble that people go to, or for the inscriptions, which can be detailed and moving - or brusque and perfunctory. It also reminds you of the brief, passing nature of existence - a reminder not to waste time (though I still do!). Welford Road Cemetery also has plaques with mini life stories of people buried there - some who achieved great things, others who led interesting lives or met tragic ends (e.g. a trapeze performer who crashed to earth in front of thousands). As for other strange passions, when I was in my 20s I used to sometimes go hitch-hiking. Not to save money or to get somewhere specific (though I'd usually have a provisional/eventual destination). It was largely for the experience of meeting random people and for the unpredictability of being on the road without knowing where I'd be dropped or for how long. Some friends found that a strange carry-on.....but is there really anything weirder about random hitching or hanging out in graveyards compared to spending all weekend in a dark room fighting monsters or crashing cars in some computer game, or sitting on your own failing to catch fish or dressing up for a civil war reenactment society - or clipping a hedge planted deliberately to give you something to clip? Live and let live.... Maybe Victorian dress appeals to a few women as there was a Leicester woman from Highfields who used to walk around all the time in full Victorian costume (maybe she still does)?
