When sin & Death have don their worst

Christ hath a Glory like his own

Wich waits to cloath their sleep

In Malden, Massachusetts in the early 19th century it was difficult to be anti-social, the small community which had first been established by Puritans in 1640, was a couple of thousand strong, and therefore the chances were that by a few degrees you knew everyone else. It is for this small community ideal that it is strange that a man like Ephraim Gray chose to live there. If there was one definition that would describe him it was anti-social, even his house carrying an aesthetic that reflected his avoidance of people, a large house that drove away visitors from its very appearance. At some point during the first few decades of the 19th century people began to see him less and less, the few interactions he had had before this period were few and met with scorn for the community; so Gray’s presence was not missed. A man servant would be seen gathering groceries, and other essentials, leading to the question of where Ephraim money derived from, he had no career, no family, no romantic attachments, and never left the house. Further those that did walk by the house returned with tales of shut curtains and a horrible odour that emanated from the house, a cacophony of chemicals that drifted into the street like a miasma reducing the outside passersby to nausea. What was it that Ephriam Gray was doing in the house? When asked, his servant gave few clues, and it was only upon the death of his master at some point in the mid 19th century, that the residents began to know the truth. In his will Gray had left everything to the Man Servant, and all Ephriam possessions would pass to him upon one condition stipulated in the strongest terms, on no account was the body of his master to be (continued in the comments). #ghostart #ghoststories #ghoststory #ghost #gothicromance #tombstones #graveyards #cemeteries #cemeteriesandgraveyards #gothictales #gothicvictorian #victoriangothic #victoriangothicstyle #newenglandhistory #historicalcemetery #cemeteriesofnewengland #vampirehistory #exhumation #darkhistory #strangehistory #historystories #historicaltale #vampireillustration #vampireart #vampireartwork #vampirefiction #vampyre #vampyr #gothichistory #vampiretales https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCyjk_Htg-/?utm_medium=tumblr

“In Loving Memory of Peta Helen Paradis Born April 13, 1918 Died Feb. 15, 1920.” Resting against a tree, the lamb half gone, remembered but fading. There is no record of her plot, lost somewhere to time. #cemetery #cemeteries #cemeteryphotography #gravestone #headstone #cemeteriesandgraveyards #cemeteriesofinstagram #cemeteryshots #saskatchewan #history #losthistory #yqr (at Regina Cemetary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDSCgfFrC6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alter Südfriedhof in Munich 🖤💛 Germany 🇩🇪 😊🤍💙🙏📸💯 The Old Southern Cemetery is a historical cemetery of European importance. The collection of historic, art-historically significant tombs is unique - it's like in a large open-air museum. The cemetery is protected as part of the landscape and is a green oasis of great ecological importance. . . . #aj_graveyards #cemeteries #cemeteriesandgraveyards #cemetery #cemetery_shots #friedhof #graveyard_dead #tv_churchandgraves #exklusivmuenchen #geheimtippmünchen #igersmunich #ilovemunich #meinmünchen #monacodibaviera #mymunich #instamunich #muenchenstagram #münchenistschön #münchenliebe #münchenstagram #munich_germany #munich_notes #munichcity #munichgram #munichgreatshots #munichlove #Munichworld⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #simplymunich #topmunichphoto  #welovemunich (at Alter Südfriedhof) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjaSrylM1qk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is Death’s Garden Revisited as I perfect the order of the Table of Contents. I’m trying to get the right flow of family stories, travel adventures, working in cemeteries, and the truly weird stuff. I’m going to announce the order as part of the Kickstarter later in the week. #kickstartercountdown #cemeteriesandgraveyards #cemeterybook #DeathsGardenRevisited https://www.instagram.com/p/CbIgqONJ9J_/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Vampires of Rhode Island Act Two: Sarah Tillinghast, Exeter, Rhode Island, Autumn 1799 - Spring 1800 Part Two of the tragic history of the New England Vampire Panic. The June 1784 edition of the Connecticut Courant and Weekly Intelligencer newspaper displays a letter to the editor warning its readers to beware of ‘quack doctors’ , who proclaim that families who dig up their recently dead relatives and burn them, will be spared more deaths from the deadly disease of consumption. It appears this advice was not followed, especially in rural Rhode Island, and what follows is the history of this unfollowed advice and the folklore that replaced it. Follow at @ofgrave.concern And visit www.ofgraveconcern.com/thevampiresofrhodeisland for the original artwork shown inspired by the history above. #newenglandliving #newenglandhistory #rhodeisland #rhodeislandhistory #rhodeislandcemetery #historicalcemetery #cemeteriesandgraveyards #cemeteriesofnewengland #cemeteriesofinstagram #vampirehistory #exhumation #tubercolosis #mercybrown #darkhistory #strangehistory ##exeterri #historystories #gothictales #historicalstories #historicaltales #gothictales #vampireillustration #vampireart #vampireartwork #vampirefiction #vampyre #vampyr #historicalillustration #gothichistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CguRcUIu1aa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
