Graveyards are important at Halloween, and nothing is spookier than a Voodoo Graveyard. You can see that Baron Samedi, the supreme ruler of the dead, reigns here. The Baron's top hat and white gloves rest upon the tall white cross in the center of the cemetery, and though you cannot see him, you can sense his presence. Torchlight flickers redly upon the headstones, and two zombies lurk nearby to guard the altar.

Offered to the voodoo gods are the traditional elements: food, blood, fire, and gold. Forowa jars (containers of African origin bearing tiny people made of gold on their lids) hold secret offerings, and soul jars (containers wrapped with strips of rag) hold the souls of the zombies, who now walk soulless to do Baron Samedi's bidding. Stand a while and muse, dear revenant visitor to this dark place. Watch as the downcanyon wind blows the flames willy-nilly. Hear the wind sighing in the willows in the abyss below. Watch the shadows rising and falling as the flames leap and fail. You are inside Halloween at last. Almost at the limits of the fireglow, you see stairs that you must climb. Do not fear to pass! This is your night, and you are invulnerable and invisible, my dear virtual visitor! At the top of the stairs, another graveyard awaits you. Your night has just begun!
