Welcome to The Taphophile Diaries

Taphophile (noun - Taphophilia)

"Also sometimes called a “tombstone tourist”, a taphophile is defined as an individual who has a passion for and enjoyment of cemeteries, epitaphs, gravestone rubbing, photography, art, and history of deaths." - Ivy Boyd

"My interest in cemeteries and the paranormal began early in my childhood. If I wasn't listening to local legends of a ghostly Woman in White who haunted the nearby cemetery, then I was probably reading Goosebumps or watching A Haunting or Ghost Hunters..."
