"...Those voices you hear are of little children who have long since lived their lives, grown old, and died..."

I always think that way, too, especially when I watch real old movies. You may have seen this, but it's always been a favorite film for me:

San Francisco 1906, filmed 4 days before the earthquake

Thanks. I hadn’t seen it. That’s pretty amazing.

Four days after that was filmed, between half and 3/4ths of those people would have been left homeless by the earthquake and subsequent fire. There they were, going about their business, thinking about what shopping they were going to do or what horse they were going to sell, never suspecting that in 4 days their entire world would be devastated.

I dare say that a few of the people captured in that film were undoubtedly, days later, among the dead.
