I've got a photograph, taken in this house, of an old fashioned wooden coffin, held up by 2 chairs. I can even identify the window frame behind it (of course, the window frame didn't have my initials in it back then).

I'm just one more soul passing through this part of the world, and this house.

I am very glad the walls can't talk, based on some of the stuff that's gone on since I've lived here. ;)

It’s actually funny in a way, how people ‘forget’ history. I grew up in the Adirondacks in NY and there were mostly old houses passed down family to family up there. It was pretty common for wakes to be held in the deceased’s home throughout much of history. Hell, the Vikings did it.

But today, a dead body is considered a hazmat issue 2 seconds after the dude shuffles off the mortal coil and the genpub thinks he’s gonna haunt the place eternally.
We are sooo much more enlightened today...
