| We just couldn't resist coming here. To make space in the cemetery they exhume bodies from the cemetery on a regular basis. Because of the environment here, the bodies are mummified in a short period of time - just 5 or 6 years. Those bodies that they feel are "museum quality" get put into display cases. We think they particularly like the ones that look the most hideous and frightening. |
