Would someone be able to extract dna from these bones and find out who these people were? That'd be kind of cool.
Imagine the lost souls and spirits that are not at rest because of this. Boggles the mind.
That gray matter looks like the porcelain "slip" they pour in molds to make pottery and dishes.
So was this place pitch black? I assume you lit this with a mag light or something? Did you bring extra in case one blows out? As much as I'd want to do this, I'm afraid my claustrophobia would kick in. That or my imagination would go wild and I'd end up insane.
I agree, human remains are best left alone. My luck I'd take a skull or a bone and the next thing I'd be haunted and tormented by that spirit. Not that I mind being tormented, but not by entities I can't see!
I stop here every day, look over old galleries but in reality just hoping for a new one! This stuff fascinates me and I'm sure countless others. Mr. Motts, you should write your memoirs of your adventures exploring and have them published. I'd be first in line to order a copy!

At least I crack myself up.
