Waikumete Cemetery is located in Auckland. It is the largest cemetery in New Zealand, and the second largest in the southern hemisphere. It covers almost 300 acres, and has over 70,000 burials. Is it little wonder that it has a fearsome reputation as being very haunted.
It was established in 1886, and the surrounding area grew around the hilly countryside it sits on. It replaced the Symonds Street Cemetery, which was the first official cemetery in Auckland in use from 1842.
