Shell Grotto 🐚🦪

[kentcoastghosts]

Meet Shelly 👻 Shelly is our own tribute to one of Kent's, (and the world's!), greatest mysteries; the Shell Grotto 🐚 This stunning and mysterious grotto is located in Margate, Kent. After being discovered in the 1800s, these intricate passages filled with shells have been the subject of much debate as to their origins over the years, from Pagan rituals to an elaborate hoax! And of course, no spooky grotto is complete without a resident ghost, The Blue Lady. You can read more about the Shell Grotto on our website, or better yet, head over there and see for yourself! (Find them on IG @shellgrotto 🐚🤗) Shelly comes complete with her own unique shell mosaic, and glows blue, like the mysterious ghost that resides there; The Blue Lady..... 🖤👻🐚 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻 #KentCoastGhosts #shellgrotto #margateart #seasideliving #Madeinkent #MHHSBD #SBS #handmadewithlove #hauntedplaces #mysteriousplaces #ghostsofkent #paranormalactivity #spookyvibes #cavesandcaverns #visitkent #visitmargate (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaFfZQMF3n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mario Zadra - Quora

The Shell Grotto is a highly decorated subterranean passageway in Kent, England. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totaling about 4.6 million shells.

According to an article published in a local newspaper in 1838, a gentleman who purchased a cottage decided to do some maintenance work to the property. He directed the workmen to excavate a few feet beneath the cottage and they discovered a serpentine tunnel leading to a massive Shell Grotto!

To this day, archaeologists have no idea what its purpose was. Could it be related to witchcraft, a smuggler’s cove, or an ancient Pagan religion?

There are some theories that this shell grotto could be over 3,000 years old! The shells have never been carbon dated, so we cannot tell how old the grotto really is.

The Shell Grotto, Margate (swipe for more). First mentioned in a newspaper report of 1838, previously unknown, discovered under a suburban house on a back street, with only anecdote and rumour to suggest who built it and why. A Victorian folly? A Mithraic temple? A Templar bolt-hole? A Margate branch of the Hellfire Club? Whatever the explanation, a fantastically strange, otherworldly place. #shellgrotto #margate #folly #temple #grotto #shellmosaic #subterranean #thanet #kent #archaeology #localhistory #psychogeography #myth #folklore #hiddenstructures #subterraneanbritain

Me being me, I got into Disney’s Twisted Wonderland, and with it’s entirety being just✨pretty boys✨doing dumb teenager shit, I came up with a bunch of OCs! I plan on posting their profiles here, but first, kind of a backstory:

All the girls are going to an all girls school (don’t have a name yet), which, while not being considered one of the power schools, is still pretty popular, and you’re lucky if you’re accepted. It’s around as old as NRC, so it has a lot of similarities to it. It has seven dorms, and the sorting is being done by a Magic Mirror.

So, without further ado, I present to you, female students!
