There's this really badass old cemetery a few blocks from the beach, and since my boyfriend and I are both into creepy things, we decided to go for a walk through it
Well, back in the 1800s a pretty common way to bury people (or so I've noticed) was to build what's easiest to describe as a shallow rectangular well (about 6 or so feet deep, same as a normal burial) and then place the coffin down in it and cover the top of the "well" with a concrete slab. I've noticed on some that granite or marble was used a lot too. Basically the "box" is used in place of how we'd use a vault today. Except vaults are buried with the coffin inside of them. This method may still be used today but I've not noticed it on any recent graves that I've seen.
Well we were walking around, and we stumbled across a grave that was as described above, but the slab had broken and had a pretty good sized hole in it, so you could peer down and see the top of the coffin. It was still in tact, and had a pretty good covering of leaves and dirt that had blown in since it had clearly been broken for a while, as we could tell by the edges of where the stone was broken.
Pretty eerie, but interesting, and not something you see every day.
Also just after we entered the cemetery I felt something brush across my throat, there didn't seem to be a lot of bugs out that day and I couldn't hear it (like I'd have been able to if it was a fly or something, cause it was a pretty good size)
Not saying it was anything supernatural, just eerie timing.
The grave I mentioned was from 1871 I believe, or around that time.
