The Opposite of 6-Feet-Under
I'm not one for morbidity.
Really.
This sort of sight scares me half to death.
(Ha…a morbid joke. How fitting.)
*Deep breath*
Regardless of my feelings for cemeteries, the ones here are absolutely fascinating and I had to share. Because NOLA is below sea level…underground graves pose a problem. A problem that's manifested when this area floods. You can imagine, I'm sure. So, instead of the typical "6-feet-under" gravesides, the plots here are above ground. In the most creepiest way possible. I can't say that I appreciate this discovery. Well, I guess I do considering the alternative. Floating…things. Uhhh!! Ok ok, enough of that. I guess I just don't appreciate the sight of these cemeteries. That's what I'm saying. So so so completely icky. Gives me the heebie-jeebies! Whatever those are.
Yes! I saw this when I was there and its so creepy.
