Lady M, how do you explain her mouth open in a silent scream of terror? Her hands shielding her eyes from a scene of pure horror?

Answer 1

Wow that's freaking cool. Don't know what happened to her. She might of been mummified in that position. I forget where and when, but a long time ago a volcano wiped out a whole island and the people were preserved in the rock for ages. It's as if it happened in a second because all the bodies look like they didn't have time to react. Like they were caught in the middle of whatever they were doing. Some scientists speculate that it might of happened while they slept. But still, think of a volcano. Molten lava doesn't travel very fast. You think that by the first people screaming they would of reacted, but it looks like they didn't. Anyway, that mummy just reminded me of that. Both odd preserved corpses, very interesting. I wouldn't worry about anything though.

Answer 2

That "horror-stricken" face, Ghoul Boy/Girl can happen because as the skin dries it pulls taunt around the skull. And the hands may have been placed calmly and peaceably after her death.

Answer 3

Thats clearly the look of someone reading questions on Yahoo Answers! Obviously she had just read for the 50th time the question "I had sex could I be pregant."

Answer 4

That's my look when "Dancing With The Stars" comes on.
