the visual imagery of a partially drowned cemetery is extremely cool in theory as a showdown spot but as someone who lives on the gulf coast, a few hours from new orleans, i am so so so unnerved by the idea. thats floating corpses o'clock right there. that's the swimming dead. like maybe it's a historical cemetery so theres no actual bodies left but STILL. get them headstones somewhere else for the love of god

#the visceral southern reaction to seeing a partially submerged cemetery #why do you think theres so many mausoleums! because bodies sometimes FLOAT UP #it's a NIGHTMARE #i don't actually know what the authorities might do with historical cemeteries that get flooded permanently #enough to need a 'deep water' warning sign #i would HOPE they'd at least rescue the headstones. actually this sounds like a cool rabbit hole to fall down at some point #i wonder if caitlin doughty's ever covered this #brb about to go write some random barely-connected-to-canon owl house fanfic about. this random cemetery.#they have to be living somewhere in the northeast right? bc of the witch-hunting town?#so really where is all this water coming from unless they are RIGHT near the coast but it's all so wooded #if it's from torrential rains then the water should evaporate/sink in before a warning sign is necessary right?#idk i don't actually know jack about northeastern usa topography #ok its time to shut up now. it's time to shut up and do some research #or idk do something thats actually productive with my time #but i really wanna know about flooded cemeteries now soooooo #actually theres a historical cemetery behind my local library's main branch! i wonder if there's reference books about it somewhere #or if i can ask someone there hmmmmmmmm #YALL........ rabbit holes upon rabbit holes it's time to resurrect (lmao) my dormant interest in cemetery practices #see if any of my theories hold any water (lmao)
