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?

I always feel like somebody's watching me
I went out to Mount Olivet to take pictures yesterday. I probably only spent about 15 minutes doing it, though, because it was just too fucking hot. I plan to get more in the fall when it's cooler, as well as a possible trip to Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.
It's a beautiful cemetery, and not particularly creepy except for one thing - the old funeral home. The door was wide open (as well as numerous busted windows, but I couldn't bring myself to go in with it just being Mal and myself. In spite of the humidity and the elements, I doubt it's structurally unsound. I had more concern of running across scary squatters. However, if I could add a couple more people to my excursion, I would like to go in and find the embalming room. Morbid, I know. It gets worse. I have this ridiculous notion that I want to get one of those little head rests - the ones they use during embalming - just to have. I found one on eBay not too long ago and begged mom to bid on it for me (I know it's ridiculous, but I don't know the first thing about eBay). She ignored my request. Anyway, I kind of want to go in on the off chance that I might find one in a cabinet. So if anyone's up for a little adventure, let me know and we'll do it next weekend.
There were a couple of close-up shots I got of curtained windows in the place. Take a look at them and tell me you don't feel like you're being watched!
The full set is here.
Oh, and one more thing...
