Museum of Greater London Antiquities and Burials archaeologists have released photos today of a robbed Victorian grave and appealed for assistance.
LCD Views was privileged to a historic interview with the famous museum, established several seconds ago, to learn what is disturbing them.
”We’ve all heard of the resurrectionists? Largely 19th century villains who entered London’s newly founded cemeteries under the cover of darkness to dig up fresh burials and retrieve the corpses. Often they were on assignment or were taking the lucrative bodies out of the ground for sale to the highest bidder.”
Yes, total rogues, the cause of many nightmares.
”Yes. What was also a concern at the time was being buried alive. Medical science being as it was, people in a coma with an almost imperceptible heartbeat could be bundled into the ground, only to wake up six feet under.”
Terrifying. Many contraptions were invented to allow the trapped to communicate to the people topside.
”Yes. And our recent excavation work at the long derelict Little Farts and All Friars Cemetery located next to Westminster, have revealed not only a message from a time left best lung buried, but evidence of a recent robbery of a grave.”
Well, any individual would just be bones by now, if that.
”I wouldn’t be so sure. Research into the archives revealed the indivual concerned was a man dressed anachronistically, speaking faux toff and attempting to destabilise the democratic foundations of the U.K. and profit from the ensuing economic calamity. To accidentally release such an indivual back to the surface can only end in calamity.”
But how could he survive all that time in the ground?
”Nobody knows. But suspicions are that Russian scientists are involved.”
Very intriguing. So what do you plan to do next?
”We’ll stake out the usual haunts for zombies and see if he turns up. In the meantime, if you see someone matching the description, cover your ears and on no account listen to anything he has to say about democracy.”
