Comments

 
Picture
Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is also known as the "Church of Bones". When you enter the chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, you will meet a rather macabre site. The entire chapel is decorated with millions of human bones, its centrepiece being a massive chandelier, made of every bone in the human body.

Why are there so many human remains at this location?
Why do they adorn the chapel in this way?

Picture
When Gerard Trower, the first Anglican Bishop of North, Western Australia, moved into his residence 'the Bishops Palace', he was not expecting it to be already occupied. Many believe it was the ghost of Abraham de Vahl Davis, a pearl trader, who had died only a few years earlier.
