every time i go to my cousins house my phone constantly restarts it's self so i quit bringing it when i go to his house. why does this happen?

also, a couple times when i've turned my phone off and turned it right back on my battery was almost completely drained why does this happen
 
As an experiment, try putting it in airplane mode when youre there.
Its a total longshot but all i can think of is its overheating while trying to find a signal and rebooting itself.
Does it feel hot there?
 
there's this one dead zone in town where my Galaxy SIII used to random reboot, but it would do it nowhere else, so i would suggest signal may be an issue. it's like it retries to get a signal till it reaches some limit and forces a PRL update afterwards, and this can cause the phone to reboot.
 
Wow that's very freaky do they live over a cemetery do they have ghost. Sounds like a poltergeist movie.

This maybe from roaming issues
 
random reboots are issues that have plagued Android for a long time. they are much less frequent these days though. many of them are out of memory panics, often only happening on lower end products. the rest are usually forced PRL updates in a low coverage area. even dumbphones would reboot themselves if you entered the code (*228) to get a PRL update.
