179 Sample answer A head start in Hallstatt – check it out! This probably isn’t for you if you are the nervous type. But if you’re looking for a seriously creepy place to visit, go and see a room full of skulls in Hallstatt. To begin with, we’re not talking about one or two skulls here. Unbelievable, but true: There are over 1,200 skulls packed into the small bone house behind the church in Hallstatt. Are you wondering why? As there wasn’t enough space for the dead in the cemetery, graves were reopened, and the skulls and bones were removed and stacked in the bone house to make space for the newly dead. What an idea! I didn’t know what to expect when I was told about the bone house. Like most visitors I started out visiting the church and the small cemetery, enjoying the gorgeous views of the village, the lake and the mountains. Then I continued my walk to the bone house and knew at once that this was the place for me to see. What a contrast! The innocent scenery outside and the gloomy atmosphere inside. But what makes this sight really creepy is the fact that most of the skulls were decorated so people could remember who they were. They had their dates of birth and death written on them, and a few were painted with flowers or other symbols. Just spooky! The sight of them gave me the creeps and left me speechless. So, if you want to visit a truly hair-raising place, check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it. Find a catchy title that gives the reader an idea of what the article is about.
