Indeed. Those were some really fantastic shots, and a really lucky find. Though I had to restrain myself from making endless Oblivion quips.

Well said Sue, it's the respect you show Motts that gives you OUR respect. :-)

You kept this one back just for Halloween, didn't ya?? What an extremely cool find, and the shots you took are just too sweet for words....... the light in this last one looks so unreal.

Great job Motts and THANK YOU!

Love the window and design of the arches in this cript.
May anyone else who enters here also, just "take pictures, leave footprints."
Another beautiful gallery, Motts!

I loved it! This one looks almost like it's under water, or like there's water reflecting on the walls. This is great. I'm so glad to see that no vandals have ruined the place.

What a fitting end to an awsome presentation. SIR ,YOU ARE THE BEST. I actually espected Dracula to peek out of that partially open coffin or Vincent Price to walk in at any time. Edgar Allan Poe would be proud of you.

By the way, theres a crypt in my towns graveyard that I assume looks just like this on the inside, someday I will go in, someday...

Ok after seeing all those coffins I got to tell you a true story... One of my fathers close friends had invested in a coffin making company and had thought it fitting to go to one of the ceremonies and the person who died had a really poor family so they bought a really cheap coffin. When they were bringing the coffin up the stairs the bottom of the coffin fell out and the body flopped down all the stairs! Needless to say he sold his shares of the company.

Sun 12-03-2006
Wow Tom, that is something you don't here everday. A body of a poor soul falling through a casket and falling down some stairs. I bet the family of the deceased were kind of mad. I know I would be a little ticked off.

Does anyone know the exact name of the town that this crypt is in? I would love to know.

Pilfering is against the law, you know. Besides, there's probably Ancestral Ghosts or Skeletons in there or something.

And if it's the Motierre crypt... well, let's just say you better be able to Turn Undead.

Being a serious UE fan, I can't believe your site is not linked absolutely everywhere. Beautiful work, layout, photos, colors - everything. I just about orgasmed perusing the Crypt of Baron's photos..!

You have been seriously bookmarked. Please, please don't disappear offline as so many do...

...and thanks for the eye candy!

Nowadays the funeral parlor has three choices in caskets : (expensive) pine crate,very expensive casket, and 'reach for the stars'
People feel obligated(at an inconvenient time) to give thier loved one the best,its' used for a few hours,then put in the ground.

There is no way that I would have entered that building, even @ gunpoint!! This is like the opener to a Stephen King flick. But I'm glad that you did & I thank you for sharing it. I'm just relieved that the groundskeeper didn't find the door unlocked & accidently lock you in. You have nerves of steel!
