Dr. Timothy Clark Smith was Buried With a Window in his Grave and a Chisel and Bell in his Coffin.Normally, when someone wants a nice view over their grave it would be something scenic, like a valley or an ocean, not an actual window, but it is what Dr. Timothy Clark Smith wanted when he died in the late 1800s. Dr. Smith suffered from severe taphephobia, a fear from being buried alive.“It’s been years since you could see down there, I know he’s buried there and there’s the glass plate. And he supposedly had something to break it if he needed to. There’s also a bell down there I was told,” said Roger Boise, president of the Evergreen Cemetery Association in New Haven, Vermont.

This Website Lets You See The World Through Another Person’s WindowWe’re stuck at home. It’s a reality we cannot deny. For many of us, the farthest travel we may have recently taken was the trip to the grocery store. To the store and not much further. We’re frustrated. We’re itching to travel. Unfortunately, many of us can’t.Sonali and Vai, the team over at WindowSwap seem keenly aware of the situation, and perhaps they themselves have experienced, or are experiencing, the same frustration. In order to make the world a little bit better they created a website that provides people with a window to the world. It was a way in which one could “travel without moving.”“It’s here to fill that deep void in our wanderlust hearts by allowing us to look through someone else's window, somewhere in the world,” they say over at the website.“Let's travel without moving for now. Let's window swap.”Click here to go to the website.(Image Credit: WindowSwap)#Travel #Window #WindowSwap #Home #Virtual
