898.0. "woman buried alive story!?" by CHEFS::NORRISV () Mon Jul 29 1996 12:47

    Hello
    
    
    Anyone know the story about the woman buried alive in the Holy ghost
    church ( I think anyway).
    
    I can't remember any details, so no one (namely Richard Anson) believes
    me!
    
    Thanks

	Vicky, If it was a Y shaped coffin I have a pretty good idea who it might have been... Ian P.S. You could give The Gazette a ring, and ask if they can put you in touch with that old fart Attwood who is the Basingstoke's historian - he has an article in the paper every Friday.
898.4	yep,heard this 30 odd years ago	KERNEL::OSBORNE		`Fri Sep 20 1996 12:57`	11
	Apparently the lady in question was buried whilst in a Coma. For several days after strange scratching noises were heard and eventually her grave was dug up. They found the body was in a bloodied state with her fingernails torn away. This was as you say, long ago before bodies were chemically treated. It is said that some nights you can still hear her trying to escape. Dave.
