The horror....

Dateline Southend Cemetary in Essex: millions of moth caterpillars have covered every surface here. The trees, the gravestones, the bench... all covered in silk.

This is just a marketing gimmick from the cemetery Props Department. With death rates at an all time low and time healing all wounds, they gravediggers are trying to increase their permanent visitor rate with this creepy haunting spectacle.

Just one match and the entire cemetary burns.

I would like to take this opportunity to disavow any knowledge of, involvement in, or association with this type of underhanded tactic.

Filling cemetaries is this guy's job.--->:reaper: We just dig the holes...

I prefer mine a little less well done, maybe served on a bed of shredded iceberg.

What's so bad about being covered in silk?

Here at organic farm cemeteries, we leave the deceased out on the lawn overnight for a beautiful natural burial shroud.

I've been getting major déjà vu, recently... mostly associated with IotD posts. Several, in fact, have caused a sensation that I've seen it, here, before... are we re-posting images, from months/years back, or am I accessing future memory?

(Or, do I have very-early-onset alzheimer's, having read, then re-read these posts, unaware that I have done so, several times, before?)

There was a similar one, not in a cemetary.

I'd not seen that one... God-damn, that bike looks spooky. :thepain:

Or, maybe I had seen it, then forgot...

Nothing feels real, any more!
