Alice and Arthur

Interesting I love the line "He was moved there in the 1950s from East Sussex, where he had lived and died – and been buried there upright (because he was a Spiritualist, apparently)". Now I never knew that, as a Spiritualist, I had to be buried upright, have I missed somethingly deeply meaningful about our transition to the Spirit world.

It may have been local superstition to stop him rising at night and sucking the blood of innocent maidens.

Innocent maidens and buried upright is an odd juxtaposition Obi HMM I supose given it was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle he had some fictitious story to tell
