    Below Paris....A Huge Cemetery....
    Underneath the streets of Paris is one of the spookiest places in France – the Paris catacombs. Opened in the 18th century, the catacombs are one of the largest graveyards on record with the remains of around 6 million people buried here. It is a maze of dark passageways with walls lined with skulls and skeletons that is enough to give anyone a fright. There are a few skeletons that aren’t meant to be there either – like that of Philibert Aspairt whose body was found in 1804, 9 years after he disappeared in the catacombs

    I am suprised they are not filled with Goth styled teenage tourists.

    Not as good as the French Catacombes but we do have our own under Hythe Church on the Kent coast...

    I never kept stuffed trophies of animals I killed hunting, though I did have a stuffed grayling fish I took in Nyak AK for a couple decades. This idea of old bones sets poorly with me, but probably only because in English Lit 101 the professors loved Death Themes which is a debatable point amongst 19 year olds who are all immortal.
