Erasmus Stribbling Trout Shue

Jan 22, 2007 22:17

i have been looking at things that happened on my birthday and there are not many. Milton Keynes was founded. Sweden banned aerosol. lots of scientists and architects were born. there was also, however, the murder of Elva Zora Heaston in 1897 in West Virginia, whose ghost appeared to her mother accusing her husband, one Erasmus Stribbling Trout Shue, of the crime. this lead to the only case of the testimony of a ghost being accepted in [an american] court, and basically it was all very southern victorian gothic stuff

"Initially, Zona's cause of death was listed as "everlasting faint"; later, this was changed to "childbirth". Knapp had been treating her for "female trouble" for two weeks before her death, but whether she was pregnant or not is unknown."

today's dinosaur comic brought me a great deal of joy*

this has been very much the post of Italics

see you when i'm 20
