Thread: Mackenzie's Tomb - Rodney Street

  1. #76

    Default still dubvious about this story

    The tomb break in of the 1970's still sounds a bit of hearsay if you ask me, that shoudl at elast be traceable thorugh the echo I would have thought. The church wasnt derelict then for a start off, did he have a rod up his back to make him sit up,otherwise it would ahve been more of a slump?

    how did his hand keep hold of the cards (they didnt have staple guns then), etc etc, the cards would have been card or linen so they would well have rotten,

    I think it s a great story, yeah its a great "story" but I'd file it under urban myth, i.e. made up embroidered, and then printed in one of TS's books...... thats enough for now Scully...

    I call a spade a spade but surely in your heart of hearts you must know that as the skin on his fingers rotted away, so the cards would have fell to the floor or am I the only one in the sceptic club (sorry couldn't think of where diamond could fit in there even though the others are bad enough)

    Default that pyramid...

    Here's a picture of the pyramid I took from inside St. Andrew's the morning after the fire that gutted it- was it 1982? (May be a year or two out on that). Whatever, I remember it was pretty hairy in there- big holes in the floor and everything still hot!

    Default Pyramid.

    It is actually an ancient moondial containing the corpses of several cats.
    It was built by ancient scouse druids, beards ago.

    Actually there isn't a dead bloke in there sitting at a table with a winning hand of cards, but the Holy Grail is in there and the Da Vinci Code as well.

    Personally, I hope it is never opened at all. For all the mystery about it, it's still someone's grave - you wouldn't like it if it was one of your family no matter what the interest was.

    I remember when we found Joseph Williamson's Grave and we were classed as gravediggers - even though were were only after the stone, we didn't lift it at all!
