    I know a decent amount of weird historical facts to know that the looted corpses are usually stored in the attic in Europe. There is also a non zero chance that if you live in an old enough house in Europe there could still be a corpse in the attic.

      Welcome to the Aitre St Maclou in Rouen! The cemetery was full in the XVIth century, so they built a nice building to keep the old corpses on the upper floors, all windows opened to everything can be nicely ventilated. 200 years later, they turned it into a school.

        That’s actually kinda interesting, sorta the opposite of the Paris catacombs. Also shout-out to the bone churches.
