Welcome to Day 15 of the Blogging A-Z April Challenge, 2013! Each day in April (except Sundays) I will be posting here, and the posts will be in alphabetical order! This blog is all about my love of Halloween. I'm not into gore, so don't expect to see a lot of that. I love exploring cemeteries, so several of those will be featured, as well as props I have made and other ideas I've admired on the Halloween Forum and Haunt Forum and Pinterest.
For some shameless self-promotion, I have 2 other blogs in the challenge, too.
Check them out!
Random Ramblings - lives up to its name. Totally random.
The Life of Lisa - health & weight loss related
********************
Ossuaries are churches that are covered in human remains. They mostly are located in areas that were hit heavily with the plague, causing many people to die at one time, or places that simply ran out of room.
These are creepy, yet fascinatingly cool at the same time.
