TALES FROM THE MORTUARY
A VICTORIAN WAKE
HISTORICALLY HYSTERICAL
Step back to an earlier time in America where superstitions about Ghosts ran rampant and to die unprepared or not be mourned properly was the greatest tragedy.
You are invited (it was considered a great insult to ignore an invitation to a funeral) to be a mourner and to pay your respects to the dearly departed, SILAS H. ADKINNS. Remember that this is a “full” or “deep” mourning where everyone must wear black (it was believed that a Ghost could not see those dressed in black) where the fabric is to be dull without any sheen to reflect light and no jewelry is allowed and never wear anything new, especially shoes.
The veil to be worn is designed, “to protect family and friends from having the spirits of the deceased hover around relatives and then attach itself should the spirit look into your eyes”.
You will participate in the WAKE, provide a testimony to the deceased, learn about the customs, oddities, superstitions about Ghosts and see authentic items from the Victorian era.
Because SILAS H. ADKINNS was from a small family and in order to property mourn with an adequate number of people, professional mourners (like you) called “mutes” were used in the funeral procession (practice your wailing and crying). When the funeral is over as mourners you will receive traditional gifts as keepsakes and favors.
