Paris Bone Crypt


Beneath the city of Paris, there are two-kilometer long tunnels which are called the catacombs. The walls are lined with millions of human bones and skulls.

For reasons of public health, the human remains were transported from Parisian cemeteries to the catacombs at the end of the 18th century.

This coming Halloween night, thanks to Airbnb’s rental offer, you can stay overnight in the Paris bone crypt.

Bring a friend, 
have dinner,
and a private concert.

Listen to scary story-telling.
Share dawn with the dead. 
Breakfast to follow.

Beware - No one has ever woken up here alive.

Strange & Spooky Things 

2017




October is Halloween month and the time that I like to blog about strange and spooky things. This year, I will be revisiting the Paris Crypts to write several posts about the place of the long dead that's located beneath the city of Paris. Since my last catacomb article in 2016, people have made the news for surfing the tunnels, an act of stealing and getting lost. Macabrely fascinating....2017 October Highlights - Strange & Spooky Things

Why do people like spooky stuff? 

Macabre, creepy things like graveyards. Listening to and telling stories about ghosts. Investigating haunted houses. Is the Zombie Apocalypse coming soon?

With Halloween coming at the end of October, I thought I would spend the month blogging about strange and spooky entertainment.
I’m going to write mainly about books and movies, some new, some old, and some that haven’t lost their weird appeal over the years...

I’m excited to be blogging about my first non-fiction short book. 

The inspiration to write it started here at my blogger site. Back in November 2016, I wrote about Napoleon’s Nightmare & The Great Pyramid, and for a time, it was a popular post...
