Unveiling Haunting Secrets: Mariana Enriquez’s Graveyard Chronicles That Will Chill Your Soul
Throughout the book, she thrills the reader with stories of hauntings, feelings of strangeness, and old lore associated with the cemeteries, including her own superstitions. Towards the end, in one harrowing and morbid chapter on Enriquez’s visit to the Paris Catacombs and the remains of Holy Innocents’ Cemetery, she cannot let go of her obsession with this particular cemetery and decides to steal a bone. She successfully brings it home (and names the bone Francois). It is alarming to see someone who has painfully detailed the history of these sites, including acts of vandalism, remove a bone from a historical site. But sometimes it becomes impossible to let go of an obsession, and she seems to do it because she believes the dead are lonely, that she can provide some comfort to the dead person’s soul in removing it.
