Creak

Creak

The old wooden doors of the crypt were straight out of a horror story... the thick cobwebs in the hinges, the medieval styles and shapes, and the fact they lead into a crypt all fit very well with a classic tale meant to scare.

The lighting is great especially as it dances off the lower right casket. What a beautiful resting place.

The light takes a quick peek in to make sure that all are still sleeping soundly.

It really does look like a scene out of Dark Shadows. Or an Anne Rice novel.

Is one of the caskets missing, or has someone just not died yet?

Those doors are magnificent! I've seen plenty of modern copies of this style and marveled at them, but of course nothing compares to original. Beautiful find Motts!

That is beautiful Motts. Look at the almost velvet look of one of the coffins on the lower right.

Mr Motts, Im new to this site and in love with your photographs, we are all able to see what you see, I would like to know out of all the places youve been, what is your favorit place?
CSA fr USA
Thu 10-26-2006
It is almost impossible to pick a single favorite as they all have their own qualities that I admire... there are many not posted on this site either.

Three items serve to express the power herein, at least for me..:

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.
A Game...Vagrant Story.
"My Heart has rooms that sigh with dust, and Ashes on the hearth"...(Chronicles of Thomas Covenant)

The images are to die for....Ellll

Wow, just think of all the poor people who were tortured in this place. (Sorry, but I had to say that. Every one of these sets needs *somebody* to say it :)
Very cool pics Motts. Creepy and beautiful all rolled into one.

Burned alive, burried alive, forced to wear crowns. Forced to eat live rats, disceted and covered in paint. Don't forget boiling water baths.

I want that empty space for myself. Just think of lying there for ages and the sun shining in during the day, and the moonlight on those lovely full moon nights painting everything a pale blue. ummmmm sexy place!!

it looks like a real gothic horror let alone a novel. its creepy yet wounderful motts how do you do it? also were do you get your bravary from places like that i wouldnt go 10miles neat.

Yeeeeeeeek! Okay,.......Even though it is only photography, this the real deal. Real bones of dead people are in there and you were standing in very close proximity to them. It almost as if I were there! Ewww.....I can imagine the smell must of been revolting. As creepilly beautiful as the nail and ironwork is on the casket is, and the arched door is the best part,.....it's t oo close to dead people as I can deal with!......Yuck!

This must be on of the freakiest places you've been Motts. I remember seeing a place in western France that was similar, but open to the public.

My parents used to have two wine cellers (chests) that resembled those doors, and always freaked me out when I visited them. My mom used to say when she die, she would like to be buried in one, and that freaked me out even more. Maybe that is why I have a lopsided mind!

I wonder if any of the crypts I MT. Hope cemetery are as ornate. My Dad only told me that one time he found a man sleeping with a corpse. My dad is a Rochester police officer and has gotten some pretty weird calls.

Nice; I've shot that cemetery a few times, it will be featured on this site when I can get to them :-)

Actually, this is my personal favorite gallery of yours, Motts. It's just so... so...

aw hell, I can't even find the words. It just has its own beauty, put simple.

Bravissimo, Motts. :-)

do you get scared going into places like these? I would probly poop myself being alone. Shit I would poop myself if I was with a group of people. Do you go into any haunted places? and do you hear weird stuff?

Places that are patrolled often or on the inside put me on edge, as well as those with unknown inhabitants - to be relaxed in these situations isn't very smart IMO. I haven't experienced anything supernatural (yet).
Motts
Mon 12-28-2009
its not the fact that it's a crypt that scares me. it's the fact that there's an empty slot, waiting for the next person to die...
