When Nature Unearths the Dead II

[@christopherrosindale3175]

According to a book that I have on the subject, the SS Montrose appears as a ghost ship on stormy evenings, runs aground on the Goodwin Sands, then gradually fades from view. Its Captain, Henry Kendall, had previously been the Captain of the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Ireland" when it was struck by the Norwegian Collier "Storstad" in fog in the St. Lawrence River in 1914. The Empress sank in only 14 minutes, with the loss of 1012 lives, one of the worst maritime disasters in history, yet is poorly known due to being overshadowed by the RMS Titanic's loss only 2 years earlier, and by World War 1 which broke out only weeks later.

[@loriepaix6391]

I was 5 1/2 years old and traveling with my parents across the bridge in Wilkes-Barre to visit my grandparents in Courtdale. The storm was terrible and I remember water from the river splashing over the sides of the bridge as we drove across. A few minutes later the bridge was closed and we stayed with my grandparents for a long time until the waters receded. The devastation was unbelievable and vast areas looked like giant lakes.

This prompts me to remember one of my favorite stories my mom's best friend told me once. Mom's friend grew up in New Orleans in the 60s and 70s. After one particularly bad storm, she let her childhood dog out the back to do his business. He came back gnawing on a human skull. Turns out is was a slave girl around the age of 14 from the 18th century, who was buried simply in the ground. Since New Orleans is technically swampland (hence the reason they have mausoleums) it was only a matter of time 'till her grave would have floated to the surface.

[@CuriousWorldProductions]

This would be an awesome story to include. Would you consider giving me more info via the email on my channel art?

[@srj1013]

@@CuriousWorldProductions let me first inquire to my mom's friend to share further details as it technically is not my own story and wouldn't want to sour things between my mom and her friend, as well as validating more of the story and it's details.

@@srj1013 Of course.

[@srj1013]

@@CuriousWorldProductions The story is all yours, I asked my mom's friend about it and she pretty much told me stuff like that happened all the time while she was growing up and that everyone in the neighborhood knew to just take the bones over to the local museum so they could get in contact with an anthropologist. She is also pretty sure that if you looked into newspaper archives from New Orleans that you could probably find a whole slew of such reports.

I’m from a city in Massachusetts named Fall River and in 1832 I believe it was, during some construction on a building, workers found a Skelton of a man in almost a fetal position, covered in brass armor, wearing a belt also made of brass. Also found near the body were arrow tips also made of brass, inside what was apparently a quiver made of bark. Very interesting find, if you want to read more about it, look up Fall River Massachusetts “The Skeleton In Armor”

Using a dead body for target practice? Unless that woman was purely evil, that's _really_ screwed...

[@MsBlueRyan]

@John Ross ...or she truly thought the corpse would turn into the living dead. Remember this incident happened in the 70's... and those vampire and George Romero Living dead movies influenced people of the time more than they do now.

[@sheep1ewe]

Most likly a spontaneous action preformed by kids/youths that wanted to feel the thrills but did not thinking about the consequences my guess. I remember i once fired an air rifle with sharp ledge toward a neigbors house just to get that feeling when i was about ten years old, i did not like him and knowing that where it hit it would not hurt any living people, i also used to play around a heavy compund bow a lot on my sparetime, they was not under any license in my country when i was a little kid, I just guess some kids just took it a bit too far... (Obviously my parents did not knew any of that... My father always tould me that not even a toygun should be pointed at any living person and guns where strictly for target practising and hunting.) Kids did not had computers (well som, but i only knew on friend that had acess to a computer and he still needed to make a phonecall and an old dial up modem each time we wanted to play games ower "the internet") or smartphones back in the days.

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

Didn't we see people doing exactly that in an episode of Z Nation? Nobody complained when that episode aired, not even you, Zippy.

[@sheep1ewe]

When i think about it a bit more, I wonder if this possibly had somehing to do with superstition? At least in parts of Europe the dead bodys of people that where suspected to re apear as ghosts or spirits (not nessesary evil people in life, just dead bodys that where suspected) where sometime pinned down with a pice of iron, a big stone or, exactly that, shoot with arrows.

[@sheep1ewe]

@@meok2 I fully agree with You. But those old ceremonys was originaly, in historical time, ment to protect living people from being hurt or even killed by the spirits of dead bodys. From a historcal etic perspective it was about sacrificing parts of a dead body in order to save the life of a living person. But, yes it was of course questioned even in historical time.

[@logik316]

Many old graveyards where the poor (such as peasants or slaves) were buried often didn’t have gravestones because the families couldn’t afford them, and were only given simple wooden markers that soon rotted away and they were eventually forgotten. Explains why remains sometimes turn up unexpectedly near cemeteries when soil erosion or land development occurs next to them.

This is why I'm getting cremated

[@windwoman3549]

Everyone in my family gets cremated, including me when the time comes. It’s tidy & doesn’t take up any real estate. If you’re not going to be cremated, then at least rot naturally. We’re SUPPOSED to decay. That’s how Mama Nature works & it’s worked since time immemorial! Pumping chemicals through dead arteries, putting makeup on a dead face, & burying that person in an obscenely expensive, fancy box is not only bizarre - it could put those paying for it in the poorhouse. It’s all so ridiculous! AND, by the way, it has nothing to do with how much the deceased was loved or respected. It’s a show put on for the LIVING, not the dead. Ugh. NO thank you! Incinerate & scatter me. That’s just fine for moi.

[@eviehammond9509]

For this & the fact that in the future we will eventually run out of room to store the dead who are buried, we should all be cremated. If not for space then to at least not spread of potential diseases/ bacteria from decomposition. Additionally, it would eliminate the possibility of funeral home employees (anyone connected thats employed for services connected with funeral arrangements) to prey on the vulnerable people that are left to mourn a dead loved one for personal profit.

[@logik316]

Burial, as practiced in the US, is a waste of real estate. Other countries eventually reuse graves when they get past a certain age.

[@KoltiraMemeweaver]

I'll likely be cremated also. We have a Japanese family plot in Hawaii that my great grandparents started after they immigrated here.

[@kengrantham4176]

Cremation is much cheaper than burial and more private. An average cremation costs $2,000...an average burial costs approximately $12,000-20,000. I recently told my wife I wanted to be cremated as I am claustrophobic and didn’t want to be buried. She replied I wouldn’t know I had been buried. I told her I’d know and would haunt her the rest of her life if she had me buried.

[@phils4634]

Managed to see the first version too! One of your more macabre editions - keep it up!! :-) (Note to self - cremation + scattering is looking far more ecologically attractive, although I suppose I'd possibly be denying excitement for future generations of Archaeologists!)

[@OceanSwimmer]

Phil, I had to chuckle when I read your comment about denying future archaeologists... I think there will be PLENTY of material for them, given the size of some cemeteries here in the USA. I think a tidy cremation and scattering would suit me; less fuss for my children. I'd rather gift them a tidy sum for a family reunion and dinner. My New Year's resolution for 2022 is to prepay my direct cremation.

[@MoeSlislack]

The same thing happened in my hometown of Albany Georgia. The cemetery flooded and caskets floated away. There was no way to put it back together again so there is a memorial plaque.

The last remains could also theoretically have come from Doggerland. Although its mainland was further out in what now is the sea, fishermen often have bone (often extinct animal species) in their nets, so the remains are mostly not deep, easily disturbed by storms and could be carried longer ways by currents.
