[QUOTE="Star*, post: 140653, member: 4964"] I watch the history channel and love it - anything I can watch and learn. So the reason there is a graveyard shift is because back when they buried the dead. When space became scarce - someone got the idea to dig them up and inside the caskets claw marks were found on several lids. This is why we have what is called a wake today. To make sure that the person does not 'awaken'. Most times they were held in the house so if the departed soul returned - they would be in their own house. Also - graveyard shift came about due to the above mentioned caskets - after finding so many lids scratched and in some cases satin torn - upon dying and burial a string would be tied to your finger or toe. The string ran up to the top of the dirt and attached to a bell on a stick. SOmeone would have to sit in the graveyard all night and listen for the bell - hence the term graveyard shift. -class dismissed. [/QUOTE]
