Epitaphs from beyond the grave
Every podcast episode reveals an epitaph carved into stone from cemeteries far and wide. Some belong to the restful, others mark souls still lingering in the dark.
Episode 1: The warning from Death Valley
Discovered carved into a lone headstone in the desolate sands of Death Valley, California:
"Here lies the body of Mannie, they put him here to stay; he lived the life of Riley, while Riley was away."
A cryptic, haunting tribute that carries a tale of deception, and the harsh realities of those who ended up under the desert dust.
