Haunted 👻

ooooookaaay

There are dozens of Quaker cemeteries in New Jersey. Probably every historic town has one. I don’t care for them, though, mostly the stones all the same, low, rounded, small, in orderly rows. They are kind of boring, as far as cemeteries go.

@@geslinam9703 that's true they don't have those fascinating statues or interesting tombstones

I guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

Before cemeteries they used to always be buried in places like church yards .... and yes sometimes buried on their own property but often in churchyards .

@@gardensofthegods people were first buried inside the churches...the more money you had, the closer to the altar, supposedly. The churches filled up, and that is how the “churchyard” started. I guess once the churchyards filled up, people started looking elsewhere for land for burials. Many of the big old churches in Europe are also graveyards. The floors and walls are covered with tomb markers. I don’t think this was done as much in America, maybe because we had more space here for outdoor burials. The only church with indoor crypts that I know of is Christ Church in Philadelphia. If this is a subject that interests you, look for the documentary film “Built on Graves”

@@geslinam9703 interesting i'll probably watch that , thank you . Yes , i remember being at Winchester Cathedral in England decades ago and seeing the entombments on the floor . The big Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia has crypts , i guess you can call them , under the floor . Many years ago i was there and they showed us down behind the altar area you go down some steps ... if i recall correctly they were either stone or concrete , i think it was a curved staircase ... the dead were entombed behind the wall .... before that was some sort of a wrought iron gate or fence .... we couldn't really see very well ; we had a quick glimpse and could see there were bishops , cardinals , whomever... down there in behind the walls ... we really wanted to go on a tour but were not allowed .

I also remember the one guy in our group saying he was told that there were many corridors of them down there ... that it was considered pretty vast .
