A weathered stone archway frames an open, ornate metal gate on the right and a tall, narrow evergreen on the left. Beyond the arch, a shaded stone path leads down toward a calm pond, bordered by grasses and wildflowers, with mature trees casting dappled sunlight across the lush green landscape.

After the short photograph description, I’ve written a ghost story to go with scene. Our photograph shows an ornate stone mausoleum in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin. The structure is octagonal in shape and raised on a low, stepped platform. It is built from pale grey and beige stone, darkened in places by age and weather. Our picture is finished with a white border frame. Now for our spooky tale… I call it…The Ghosts of Glasnevin Cemetery They say Glasnevin never truly sleeps. On certain evenings, when the clouds hang low & the wind whispers through the yew trees, the dead remember how to walk. It was on such a night that Seán wandered past the old mausoleum with the angels on its roof. He had meant only to take a shortcut home, but something drew his eyes upward to the cross silhouetted against the bruised sky. From beneath the arches came the faint sound of footsteps. Seán froze. At first, he thought it was his own echo. Then he saw them: pale figures drifting between the columns, their forms soft as fog, their faces blurred. A woman in Victorian black glided past the tomb, her veil lifting in a breeze that Seán could not feel. An old man leaned on an invisible cane, staring into the distance as though still waiting for someone who never arrived. They did not look at him. One by one, more shapes emerged from the shadows of the graves. Children chasing laughter that no longer existed, soldiers standing to quiet attention, lovers walking hand in hand through paths that led nowhere. Seán backed away slowly, heart pounding. As he turned to leave, he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder. Behind him stood a young boy, eyes glowing softly in the dark. “Don’t be afraid,” the child whispered. “We only come out to remember.” Then the wind rose, the clouds shifted, & the figures faded back into the cemetery’s ancient silence. Seán hurried home and never took that shortcut. When you pass Glasnevin at dusk, you might notice movement at the corner of your eye.

Nobody knows how long this wooden doll is laying here under the roof in Egeskov castle. But the story is that must laying there for ever. Because when you remove it the castle will not stand there the next Christmas Eve.

The Pyramid’s Secret: An Alchemical Riddle in Stone
As usual, the revelation is in the ALT text.

#EastCoastKin
Between the trees of the Neuer Garten, a stone pyramid suddenly emerges an unexpected piece of Egypt in Prussia. Built between 1791 and 1792, it was officially an ice cellar where winter ice from the Heiligen See kept food fresh through summer. Yet this prosaic function cannot explain the mysterious hieroglyphs carved into its base, symbols scholars still struggle to decipher. Friedrich Wilhelm II commissioned this structure from the same architects who built his Shell Grotto. Like the grotto, the pyramid’s form bore no relationship to its stated purpose. Why dress a simple ice cellar in Egyptian mystery? The answer lies in the king’s Rosicrucian beliefs. Christian Rosenkreutz, the legendary order founder, was said to have gained secret knowledge traveling through Egypt. For Rosicrucians and Freemasons, Egyptian pyramids represented temples of initiation where sacred wisdom was revealed. Art historian Dr. Berit Ruge discovered the seven hieroglyphic symbols bear striking similarity to the “Monas Hieroglyphica” created by Elizabethan alchemist John Dee in 1564. Dee’s symbolic system—blending astrology, alchemy, and hermetic philosophy—circulated widely among Europe’s esoteric circles. Inside, an inexplicable detail reinforces its ceremonial purpose: a meter-high niche carved into the eastern wall where an ice cellar would never need it. Researchers now believe the pyramid functioned as a Masonic temple. According to ancient ritual, candidates removed all metals before entering, led by a “psychopompos” to stand before this niche where secrets would be revealed. Friedrich Wilhelm II had created an “alchemical initiation park” with the pyramid positioned in direct sightline from the Marble Palace, a deliberate axis connecting royal residence to mystical sanctuary. After his death, his son extensively rebuilt it in 1833, preserving only scattered original stones with their enigmatic hieroglyphs, secrets still locked within Dee’s cryptic symbolic language.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
