ʻO kahi epitaph kahi mea hoihoi. ʻO nā huaʻōlelo hope loa i koho ʻia e hoʻomanaʻo i kahi mea i aloha ʻia, a i ʻole iā lākou iho paha e like me ka hihia, ma kahi māka kupapaʻu a i ʻole ka pōhaku kupapaʻu mai nā leka o ka manaʻolana e ʻakaʻaka me ka leo hoʻomākeʻaka i ka weliweli maoli.

Ua lilo kekahi o kēia mau mea i mea kaulana loa no kā lākou eerie a i ʻole nā ​​manaʻo ʻano ʻē a ua hana lākou i loko o ka puʻupuʻu puʻupuʻu ʻole.

Ua lohe paha kekahi i kekahi ʻano o kēia mea?

"E hoʻomanaʻo iaʻu i kou hala ʻana. E like me ʻoe i kēia manawa, pēlā i mua iaʻu. E like me aʻu i kēia manawa, pēlā ʻoe. E hoʻomākaukau no ka make a hahai mai iaʻu. ”

Ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia ʻano epitaph mai ka waenakonu o ke kenekulia 17 a ʻoiai he nui ka poʻe i ʻimi, me ka ʻole o ke kūleʻa, e ʻike i kāna kumu kumu, ua hoʻokau nā manaʻo pilikino i nā malihini kipa ilina i nā kenekulia.

ʻO ka make, ma hope o nā mea āpau.

Me ka manaʻo o kēlā paukū, ua hoʻoholo wau e hui pū i kahi papa inoa o kēlā mau epitaphs i pili nui iaʻu i kaʻu noiʻi ʻana. ʻAno hoʻomākeʻaka kekahi, eerie kekahi, a e hoʻokūlū paha kekahi iā ʻoe no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.

# 1 ʻO kā Bard ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hope loa

Manaʻo ʻia, ʻaʻole naʻe i hoʻokūpaʻa ʻia, ua kākau ʻo William Shakespeare i ka quatrain i kālai ʻia i ka pōhaku ma luna o kona lua kupapaʻu ma TrinityChurch ma kapa o ka Avon ma ʻEnelani. He kani paha ia e like me ka mea a ka Bard e peni ai, a ʻo ka mea minamina, ua pololei kāna mau makaʻu.

E like me ka Hōʻike Hudson, ʻAʻole waiho nā iwi o Shakespeare i lalo o ka pōhaku ma TrinityChurch. Kakaikahi ka manawa i hāʻawi ʻia i ka noho paʻa ma laila, akā ma kā Shakespeare hihia ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia inā he ʻaihue pōhaku pesky i ʻaihue i ke kino o ke kāne a i ʻole a holoi ʻia ʻo Avon e ka wai kahe.

ʻO nā hihia āpau, weliweli kāna mau huaʻōlelo hope loa:

“PALELE MAIKAU NO IESVS SAKE FORBEARE
E HOLOHE I KA HUA I HOOHUIA I KA DVST
BLESTE E KANAKA Yt SPARES I NA POHAKU
A ʻO CVRST ʻo ia e neʻe i kaʻu mau iwi ”

# 2 Pepehi ʻia e ka holoholona

ʻO kekahi o nā epitaphs ʻano ʻē loa aʻu i ʻike ai mai ka pōhaku kupapaʻu o Lilly E. Gray. Me kona inoa, hānau a me nā lā make, heluhelu ʻo Lilly's epitaph: "Pepehi ʻia e ka holoholona 666."

No nā makahiki, he nui ka poʻe i manaʻo he pili kēia iā Sātana a me nā Diabolō, akā ʻo ka mea i ʻike ʻia, ʻo ke kāne a Lilly ʻo Elmer kahi loio kipi kipi nāna i hoʻopiʻi i ke aupuni no nā mea he nui i loko o kona ola. Ua maopopo nō iā ia he pili kā lākou i ka make ʻana o kāna wahine.

He mea hiki wale nō iā ia ke kuhikuhi i ke aupuni, a laila, i kāna wae ʻana i nā huaʻōlelo hope loa no ka lua kupapaʻu o kāna wahine. He mea hoihoi nō hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo ua hōʻole ʻo ia e kanu pū me ia.

# 3 Nā Kūlana

ʻO ka moku'āina ʻo Ohio Asylum no ka hale kupapaʻu ʻo Insane kahi hale kupapaʻu hana ʻole ma waena o kahi hui o nā hale aupuni i hoʻohana ʻia ma Franklin County, Ohio.

Ua hoʻohana nui ʻia ka hale kupapaʻu no nā mea maʻi hemahema o ka haukapila nona ka ʻohana i koi ʻole iā lākou i ka make. ʻOiai lawa kēia kaumaha i loko ona iho, ʻo ka mea ʻoi aku ka pīhoihoi, aia ma kahi o hoʻokahi hapahā o nā pou pōhaku kupapaʻu i loaʻa nā inoa. Kaha ʻia nā mea he nui me kahi "M" a i ʻole "F" ukali ʻia e kahi helu e hōʻike ai i ke kāne a ka mea maʻi i kanu ʻia ma laila a me ke kaʻina manawa kūpono o ko lākou make.

A laila aia kahi pōhaku i kaha maʻalahi ʻia “Nā ʻĀpana.” I ke kai o ka make inoa ʻole, pīhoihoi kēia no ka mea ʻaʻohe mea nāna i hoʻopilikia i ka honua e hoʻoholo i ka mea a i ʻole ka mea e kanu ʻia ma laila.

Koena kanaka? Nā Lani? Nā laʻana kope? A i ʻole kekahi mea ʻeleʻele loa? ʻAʻole maopopo iā mākou, akā pili maoli kēlā pōhaku i kona inoa inoa ʻole a me kāna verbiage.

# 4 ʻO ka hoʻopiʻi huahana

ʻO kekahi poʻe, ke make, koho lākou e waiho i nā ʻōlelo noʻeau a hoʻomākeʻaka paha no ka poʻe e hele aʻe ana.

Eia naʻe, ua lawe ka ʻohana o Ellen Shannon i ka manawa kūpono e waiho i kahi manaʻo pane ʻole a ka mea kūʻai aku i ka pōhaku kupapaʻu.

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Shannon ma ʻIlani a ma ke ʻano he wahine ʻōpio, ua neʻe ʻo ia me kāna kāne i Pennsylvania e like me ʻO Theresa's Haunted History o ka Tri-State.

Loaʻa ma Girard Cemetery ma Erie County, PA, heluhelu ʻo Ellen epitaph: Ma Memory o Ellen Shannon Makahiki 26 mau makahiki i puhi ʻia i ka make ma Malaki 21, 1870 e ka pahū o kahi kukui i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka F Danidorth Burning Non-Explosive REFANForth.

ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale nō ka mea i hōʻeha ʻia i ka huahana a Danforth, akā i kaʻu ʻike, ʻo ia wale nō ka pōhaku kumu i koho e kuhikuhi!
