I don’t believe Arthur was ever real. You know why? King Alfred. He was the only British king to be called “The great”. Alfred the Great was believed to be who King Arthur was based after. You know what I think is cool? I’m actually a Descendant from him. Him and King Edward Longshanks I.

Has anyone ever heard of Julia Buccola, aka the Italian Bride? She was an ordinary 29-year-old woman who died in childbirth, along with her baby, in 1921. She was buried wearing her wedding dress, the baby by her side. Julia’s mother kept having vivid, disturbing dreams in which Julia would beg to have her grave opened. Finally, six years after Julia’s death, her mother persuaded authorities to exhume her daughter’s body. Opening the casket, they discovered that Julia’s body had not decayed-at all. Photos were taken and one is actually displayed on Julia’s tombstone-a little bit grainy but nonetheless detailed enough that you get the full creep factor. She is buried in Chicago’s Mount Carmel Cemetery, which is, incidentally, where Al Capone is buried. I’m sure if you Google this, you wouldn’t have any trouble finding this info. It is a very interesting story.
Great list, Gabi-but I am a little disappointed the photos weren’t what I’d hoped they would be! I’m morbid, I know.

Actually, with Oswald, there was a cement casing around the casket that was supposed to be good for a long time, and it was broken. Then when the person who originally prepared Oswalds body, was working with it, he had to remove the head for x-raying. He said, to a few people during and after, that there were no autopsy scars(Which you can’t hide from a professional). The original head had an autopsy(Brain removed), and the head in the caskets had no scars at all. He was told not to worry about it. It’s a matter of public record.

Re: Lewis

Merriwether Lewis was actually murdered by my great, great… uncle Robert Grinder. Lewis often traveled for Thomas Jefferson for the Louisiana purchase and so forth. He made one too many stops at Grinder’s Stand in rural Tennessee. Robert Grinder found Lewis in bed with his wife, Priscilla. He shot him in the head and chest and fled to Texas. The next day, Priscilla fabricated the suicide story to cover for her husband. All of my mother’s side of the family is from the Grinder’s Stand area. My grandmother, who knew her grandmother Grinder, was very religious and of top most moral character. She recounted this story as fact.

Nice stuff!

How about adding Lenin as a bonus. He hasn’t yet been interred, as his waxy corpse is still on display for the viewing public……

re: Lewis

How do you commit suicide by shooting yourself in the head AND in the chest?!

All the stories of King Arthur are infact fictional, and THE Guinevere never could have existed. The story of King Arthur sprouted from the Stanzas of the Graves, which has one line where he is mentioned where all the stories sprouted from.

timmythedyingboy (43) Why people can’t understand how simple this is for those pesky Soviets to have done is beyond me.

3 Stonewall Jackson. Given that I doubt very much he was the only confederate person to lose his arm at Chancellorville, how did they know they had the right arm? (sorry for the pun – Nah not really)
