Is 15 years not crazily too long for an able bodied man like him to be homeless unless he is disabled/mentally unbalanced and can't take care of himself but the word of his mouth depicts him as a sane person. If he had diligently sought a means of sustenance/job throughout the 15 years he would have definitely saved enough to rent or even build a house with. I'm sure that there is a kind hearted person or even organisation like church out there that can give him free accommodation than him living in that place. He is lucky that he is not living in an environment where some ignorant ones are fooled into believing that human body parts can be used to make money for them or such sickly and ignorant persons would have come for him long time ago.

I was also thinking 'what happens when it rains'? Won't rain water run into his poor home? Oh dear!

Yeah dude has a rich and healthy sense of humour meaning that he is sane and sound and his place is with the living. Seems he thinks otherwise. Huh!

jammyng: Hmm.......and some are complaining about 'face me, i face you' in lagos while this man faces ghosts.

Yeah, right! We should cherish what we have while dreaming big.

The man is a survivor.I don't see what is so funny about him saying he is more afraid of the living than the dead.He can really cause heart attack or be killed if he is seen raising from the grave.Homelessness can cause people to sink to depths they never thought possible.We need to be thankful that in Naija we can be jobless and homeless but at least...dwell above ground.

A homeless man has told how he began sleeping with the dead when he moved into a cemetery 15 years ago.

Bratislav Stojanovic, 43, has shared the burial plot with the ashes of a a family who died out more than 100 years ago in Nis, Serbia.

But after giving the grave a changing tombs-style makeover the former construction worker said he feels at home.

He said: 'It is dry and it is warm. I have some lamps and my personal possessions.

'It isn't a palace but it is more comfortable than the street.'
Mr Stojanovic, who has never had a regular job, lost his home in the town after running up debts.

He moved into the grave after dossing down in the streets for months and now spends his time foraging in the out of use cemetery for candles.

Mr Stojanovic said that living with the dead isn't as scary as some might think. He said: 'I was afraid in the beginning, but I got used to it in time. Now I am more afraid of the living than of the dead

'Whenever I want to crawl out I first check if there's someone around, otherwise I could scare a person to death.

'People are very kind to me, they sometimes bring me food or clothes.

'Sometimes I have to get my food from rubbish bins but it can be very nutritious. It's amazing what people throw away," he explained.

'It doesn't frighten me to sleep in a grave. The dead are dead. I'm more frightened of being hungry.

'And if I die in the night, at least I'm in the right place.'

Mr Stojanovic lives on a diet of food he collects from the rubbish and collects cigarette butts he finds on the ground.

His tomb spans only two-square yards and the ceiling is one yard high.

Officials at the cemetery say their squatter can stay as long as he does not disturb other visitors.

'The family who owned the tomb are long gone so technically it belongs to no-one. If he behaves himself there are no plans to evict him,' said a spokesman.

The name of the family who owned the tomb is unknown as the names have eroded from the gravestone.
