Does this shed any light on Walter Scott's mother being buried alive?

Thanks, tongalad - nice to see that the story is true, 'though a a couple of trivial details differ. (The fact that she was in a vault and not buried six feet under, and that the sexton was the culprit and not two graverobbers.)
ReplyDeleteThirty eight years???!!!
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss.
ReplyDeleteScary, ain't it?
This grave robbing/birth after death story is also told In House Of Mystery #196 in a 2 page tale drawn by Wayne Howard.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a 1971 issue so I'm assuming that it's a new version of the Simon & Kirby tale, which was originally published back in the '50s (and reprinted in #2 of the 9-issue '70s revival of the mag).
ReplyDeleteI remember having this story read to us in my 7th Grade class in the late 1960s, from an anthology book of scary stories. The reason I remember it so well is that a few weeks later, our Junior High school assembly for skits came up (in which each homeroom section got to present a skit). Every other section did comedy skits parodying life in our school. Our homeroom teacher decided he wanted to do something different and twisted our arms into rewriting the Resurrection of Anne Rutherford Scott as a straight drama skit. It wne over like a lead zeppelin (and I don't mean the rock group!).
ReplyDeleteAt least it's probably still being talked about to this day by those who saw it, whereas the comedy skits are likely long-forgotten. Thanks for commenting.
