I’ve added another 5 to the Seeking Spooks series (Numbers 13 to 17) to mark Halloween 2012.
All 5 of these caches can be done as a circular walk (distance approx. 2.5KM) starting at 13 and all follow a public footpath across open farmland and along roads which can be busy at times. The short series of 5 should take approx. 1 hour.
Dare you to do it at Night!!
Burial is the ritual act of placing a dead person into the ground.
In many cultures, human corpses are usually buried in soil. The roots of burial as a practice reach way back into the Middle Palaeolithic and coincide with the appearance of Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens, in Europe and Africa respectively. As a result, burial grounds are found throughout the world. Through time, Mounds of earth, temples, and underground caverns were used to store the dead bodies of ancestors. In modern times, the custom of burying dead people below ground with a stone marker to indicate the burial place is used in most modern cultures.
