BBC News: The world's biggest cemetery<\/h3>\n

Ghost stories abound from graveyards all over the world, eerie spaces in which the dead are left to return to the Earth.<\/p>\n

While many are dismissed as nonsense, tales from Wadi-us-Salaam, the mass cemetery in the Iraqi city of Najaf, may be taken a little more seriously given the site’s ancient roots.<\/p>\n

Daily burials have been taking place there for more than 1,400 years, and today holds more than six million bodies.<\/p>\n

For Muslims around the world, Wadi-us-Salaam is the most highly coveted final resting place, one in which they would give almost anything to be buried.<\/p>\n

While this may be true, gravediggers who work at the site say it can be a dangerous place to work, for murky figures, or jinns, linger in the shadows.<\/p>\n

Jinns are the invisible spirits mentioned in the Koran and believed by Muslims to inhabit the Earth, taking the form of things like humans or animals.<\/p>\n

One gravedigger at Wadi-us-Salaam previously reported being seriously injured by one such spirit during his shift.<\/p>\n

“One day, a shadow sneaked up behind me and hit my head violently, leaving me badly injured. I no longer walk straight and feel like the ghost still haunts my body,\u201d Haider al-Hatemi, 26, told Al Jazeera in 2019.<\/p>\n

He described encountering a strange creature known locally as Tantal, Bzebza or Ghreria, whose presence led to him becoming ill.<\/p>\n

His parents believed that he had been cursed and that only shamanic healing sessions would cure him, and duly sold off their house to afford the \u00a324,000 bill.<\/p>\n

He remained ill, however, and his family now lives in poverty, his wife, terrified by his behaviour, filed for divorce.<\/p>\n
