Capuchins' Catacombs in Palermo I.2 - "screaming" from the dead

Several of the corpses seem to be "screaming" from the dead. Time and gravity have distorted the corpses to look this way. It is very creepy! Some have body parts, which have fallen off over the years such as hands, jaws, parts of the skull, etc. Upon entering the catacombs, one might think that the smell would be terrible, or at least musty. Yet, there was no trace of any odour. Many of the corpses were close enough to touch, if you were so inclined.
