Mortsafes and caged graves were used to keep the dead from coming back. All I can think about is that there must’ve been “incidents” that warranted their use…
What gets me is that some graves have them and not others, and I wonder what the people that do have them did, to warrant so much fear of them returning that metal and stone gates seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
They weren’t to keep the dead from coming back, that’s a common but still wrong misconception.
They were to stop people from stealing the bodies for medical and scientific experiments.

I always used to think the bodies were in the raised stone ones. And then you’d see a smashed one and i would just think… DRACULA.
Somehow after the purge I have used tumblr less but been spammed by four times as many porn bots! They have photos marketing nudes and sexting but don’t worry! They don’t show any photos of female presenting nipples so it A-OK! This site is as family friendly as the plot of Hamlet.
