Today I read about mortsafes, thatched iron gates built over the graves of the newly interred.
Designed to hold body snatchers and the uncanny at bay, mortsafes kept the dead unscathed.
Or as unscathed as they could be anyway.

someone forgot to tell them that ghosts can walk through walls (or bars …) 😉 Good one!
Ha! Good point. Thanks 🙂

I’d have guessed they were for deceased prisoners!
My 39!
Protecting the dead from the living — how uncanny!
