The Corvus Trail…
An interactive map of the graveyards, ruins, churches, forests, monuments, and strange little corners featured so far.
This map will continue to grow. As new videos, field notes, photographs, and live streams are added, more places will appear along the trail.
Please feel free to return from time to time, as the journey is only just beginning.
Field Notes:
Mallusk Old Burying Ground
A field note from Mallusk Old Burying Ground - exploring a rare surviving resurrection lamp from the age of the body snatchers, the final resting place of United Irishman James “Jemmy” Hope, the story of his faithful dog, and the remarkable names he gave his sons - Henry Joy McCracken Hope and Robert Emmet Hope. Alongside these sits an ancient bullaun stone and centuries of quieter history hidden among the graves.
