Pretty sure the whispering at the graveyard and other locations is just ambient audio made for atmosphere like the decayed sirens and music speakers of the Sierra Madre. The burned bodies like many dead NPCs can be found alive if the game engine bugs out and generally they are part of hostile factions like the scientist in the Shalebridge and mound which can be found alive instead of dead if the game bugs out since the cell respawns much of the permanent reference objects. Lakelurks have a 90% chance of having nothing in their inventory including egg clutches. It may have been an oversight sadly. Making wasteland omelets hard to make Btw I like your voice it's very soothing I do have a game theory for the events surrounding Arthur Maxson's ascent to become Elder. In all likelihood the deaths of both Lyons were premeditated by Enclave remnants that survived the Brotherhood's eradication efforts that infiltrated their ranks posing as Wastelanders or vault dwellers only to groom Arthur at a young age and mold him into their ideal leader and virtually a puppet. It would explain many of the changes underwent by the Brotherhood of Steel in addition to how dismissive characters like Proctor Quinlan and Teagan are towards using Wastelanders as a tool rather than caring for their wellbeings.

There are multiple accounts from people seeing dead bodies spawn as living npcs in New Vegas. One quest has a dead Gomorrah prostitute you need to inspect. Except the quest can glitch out, and you can find her walking around casually. Yes, you can still inspect her.

@10:32 - this is actually confirmed to be a bug, or a sadistic choice by someone in Obsidian. The loot table associated with lakelurks has a 90% chance to spawn nothing, and a 10% chance to spawn three lakelurk meat. So, if you find random dead lakelurks with no meat, chances are excellent that the lakelurk died in a random encounter that you missed, and it just didn't spawn any loot on death.

From what i understand the whispers in the Graveyards happens because of an audio glitch, something like you have sound file "1A" that plays there but the game gets a little confused and plays "One A" which happens to be a whispering audio file for background noise. Its possibly a glitch possibly someone having fun either way its one of the most likely to run (i commonly run into it on longer games when visiting goodsprings graveyard). The Burned Bodies getting up upon reloading a save (yeah that one is a known glitch based off of the health setting for those NPCs) hopefully this helps someone understand how these legends start and get exaggerated.

I do miss the days before datamining became a thing. I always loved that back in the good ol' days, myths and urban legends would come about naturally on forums and group chats, probably not unlike how many real-world myths were created and propagated. Often times we'd even see people go to the "haunted" parts of a map to search for these rumored easter eggs, in the same vein as ghost hunters and cryptozoologists.

I remember the burned body glitch happening to me perfectly. This was after I played the game many times on the ps3 and pc. And after I already cleared out the cazadors in the same playthrough where it happened. I fast traveled to Goodsprings and made my way north to get Chance's knife. I was curious when I saw red blips on my compass in the direction of the burned tribe village, but no Cazadors where on the road like they usually are. I thought the game had just respawned a few but, New Vegas hardly ever respawns anything. After I get the knife I make my way down the mountain and into the valley leads to the village to investigate. Imagine my jaw dropping when I saw what appeared to be dark skinned people in rags fighting a single baby cazador...and winning. Then they started charging at me after they won the fight. That's when I pop VATS and see the name Burned Body pop up. My jaw was through the floor when i experienced this for the first time 😳
