So I found something strange in my house...
« on: November 05, 2011, 06:14:07 PM »
...A tombstone, underneath the brickwork of my fireplace. :confused:

It's a very old house, but that seems like an odd choice of building material.

It may be required to stay there.

An old employer of mine built a building on an old grave yard. They were required to keep one tombstone present on site by law/church/respect. I assume all the graves were moved to another site.

Maybe the tombstone was never used to mark a grave. It could have been a demo. May have to do a little research.

Because building the house on someones grave is disrespecting enough?

didn't watch it

Not much into horror movies

I've been married and divorced twice.  You think a soul stealing, blood sucking, creature from hell is really going to scare me now? I just call them exes and thank them for not giving me something I couldn't throw back ;)

MK84, you need to check in hourly. If you turn up miss'n we will know what got ya. Kind of freaky, have you thought of digging deeper? Just view it as science, Indiana Jones style. If you need some help...

Well, it appears its being used to insulate the rest of the house from the fireplaces?  I've heard of being thrifty...but damn...
