I managed to photograph a ghost in Greenbank cemetery this morning.
I looked it up in my Observer's Book of Ghosts and Spooks, but couldn't find out what type it was.
It was cutting the grass, so it's nice to see the Differently Alive making themselves useful.
It's often said: "If you can train dead bodies to operate gardening equipment, then that's half of your cemetery maintenance problems solved."
I think I'm inclined to agree with that assessment.

wow, the fact you took a photograph is so brave I'd've probably run away screaming for my mummy if she wasn't a ghost herself
I've since learned that this wasn't a ghost after all - it was an unscrupulous property developer who wanted to scare people away so he could buy the cemetery at a knock down price.
He'd have got away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky middle-aged people.
"If you can train dead bodies to operate gardening equipment, then that's half of your cemetery maintenance problems solved."
Does the other half of the problem involve disposal of walking corpses afterwards, by any chance?
Yeh, once they've learnt to operate a Flymo, they are often reluctant to return to the fires of Hades.
