Haunted Hidden Hollows

Oh, to have the chance to haunt an old lawsuit-hungry rickety path through the woods.

Cuesta Verde

You left the bodies and you only moved the headstones! You only moved the headstones!

Exploring An Abandoned Funeral Home

Pretty neat video below of two people checking out the very-stocked property of an abandoned funeral home.  Hi Res too, so it felt like I was watching a modern found-footage horror film, where nothing happens.

Suspiria

Take them, O Death! and bear away
Whatever thou canst call thine own!
Thine image, stamped upon this clay,
Doth give thee that, but that alone!

Take them, O Grave! and let them lie
Folded upon thy narrow shelves,
As garments by the soul laid by,
And precious only to ourselves!

Take them, O great Eternity!
Our little life is but a gust
That bends the branches of thy tree,
And trails its blossoms in the dust!

Tiny Contents

The miniature coffins of Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh.

In the coffins were miniature wooden figures. They were dressed differently both in style and material. There were two tiers of eight coffins each, and a third tier begun, with one coffin.
The extraordinary datum, which has especially made mystery here:That the coffins had been deposited singly, in the little cave, and at intervals of many years. In the first tier, the coffins were quite decayed, and the wrappings had moldered away. In the second tier, the effects of age had not advanced so far. And the top coffin was quite recent-looking.
