We go inside and we gravely read the stones

Went out to Mount Olivet over the weekend - this time to actually go in to the old funeral home.

We went into the lower level through the wide open door, and there was a very weird heaviness down there...  Most likely something atmospheric and totally explainable by science, but it's fun to think it was something supernatural.

There was a dead something or other -- a fox was my guess -- on the carpet down there. Yes, there are pictures. We had to leave to buy flashlights, only to find that the creepy dark rooms were really just large closets... though we never went in them.

For whatever reason, there seems to be no access to the upper floor from the basement, so we had to climb through a broken window to get in (the front door had been blocked off with weird casket rolley things - pictures available).  In one room the floor was mushy and scary to walk on and it was a mess, but all-in-all not too exciting.

The excursion was a bit of the letdown because I never found any identifiable embalming area - macabre, I know, but what in the hell else are you looking for when you tresspass into a defunct funeral home?  However, there was one door that was sealed apparently with a single nail... it could have been easily kicked in, but I wasn't there to vandalize, so I'm thinking that maybe there needs to be another trip out that way after my vacation with a hammer to pry the nail out.  Although the room was on the upper floor and probably not the spot for the dirty work, I can't help but wonder why it's the one inner door that is closed off.  Who wants to go?
