Glowing headstones appear several times in this archive and the explanation is almost always the same. Polished granite throws light back at a shallow angle, and a stone that appears lit from within at a distance goes dark the moment you change your position relative to whatever is actually lighting it.

That has never emptied a cemetery of visitors and it never will.

The cemetery is a burial ground and the surrounding land is private.
