You first.
It was extremely common for householders to incorporate objects that were supposed to ward off evil into their homes. Some of those old superstitions remain in place today, although most people don't know their origins. Take the shiny baubles on your Christmas tree, the horseshoes some people hang above their front doors or the chocolate Yule log you'll stuff down you throat in a few weeks' time - they all have roots in superstitious belief.

The link certainly made me paws for thought.
mummification happens after death as a result of decay in certain temperatures and humidity.
Of my own thoughts it is folly to speak. Swooning, I staggered to the opposite wall. For one instant the party upon the stairs remained motionless, through extremity of terror and of awe. In the next, a dozen stout arms were toiling at the wall. It fell bodily. The corpse, already greatly decayed and clotted with gore, stood erect before the eyes of the spectators. Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman. I had walled the monster up within the tomb!
