Buried Alive

This exhibit is temporarily closed due to safe distancing measures.

Before the age of modern medicine, when the diagnosis of death was less accurate, coffins were often fitted with a bell-rigged device above-ground. Should a person awake from the dead (for those mistakenly buried alive), they would alert mourners of their ghastly plight.

Public Speaking

Gain confidence through a simulated public speaking scenario in front of an audience! Difficulty concentrating, dry mouths, trembling hands and reduced field of vision are all inclusive!
