Does graveyard water give you magic powers?

Dear Liz and Laura,

Is it true that if you drink still water from a graveyard puddle reflecting a full moon you will gain powers of some sort? If so, what might they be and how long will they last?

Dear Ghosts,

Liz and Laura know a thing or two about graveyards, having lived adjacent to one for years in the fine borough of Brooklyn. And from our experience, you would not want to drink anything you find there, nor in any graveyard, for that matter. For one thing, they typically use reclaimed water for their landscaping, and the ponds and lakes in our local graveyard, the stately Green-Wood, are questionable at best and usually filled with algae. Plus, ducks and geese are always hanging around there, leaving god knows what behind.

Lastly, we’re talking corpse water here. That can’t be sanitary. From a purely medical standpoint, we’d say that the series of infectious diseases you’re likely to get from drinking graveyard water would outweigh any made-up Wiccan/Pagan/Gothic purpose you think it will achieve.

But to answer your question, just between us…it makes you immortal.

Cheers,

Liz and Laura
