skeleton of his best friend who died 13 years ago. Fabio
Beraldo Rigol moved in to the cemetry after going broke and
being abandoned by his family over his drug addiction.
The former broker only leaves to go into Santa Isabel, Brazil,
to ask for food. He claims he found himself penniless and
homeless after his business folded and he started using drugs.
He said: "I'm more afraid of the living than the dead. I've
never seen a ghost. It gets a bit quiet here sometimes, but I'm
not a big talker, so it suits me. I'm not very good around
living people.
"I had to leave the house, and I ended up wandering the
streets. One night it was raining hard. I don't remember how,
but when I woke up I was here in the graveyard." On most
days he leaves the graveyard to ask for food in the town
centre. He said: "When it's raining I stay inside. I never want
for anything. When I need people there is always someone
who gives it to me. God never lets me go hungry."
But Mr Rigol said he doesn't intend to stay in the cemetery
until his own time comes. He added: "I want to get out of here
alive. I still want to have my own house, even if it's just a
bedroom and a bathroom. I want to go back to work if there's
a chance. My live hasn't finished yet."
