  2. Human Burial And Dealing With The Undead And Ghosts

    For as long as us humans have been alive, we have had to deal with death, and the fear that the dead may possibly come back to life, or that their spirits may walk the Earth at the point of death. Due to this fear, people have come up with many ways in which to prevent this from happening.

  8. We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.

    We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange, Co.Meath* today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.
