Even After Death, He Dug Her

Monday January 12, 2009
Anyone remember the impossibly romantic 1981 film Somewhere in Time? Christopher Reeves starred as a young playwright who falls in love with a woman from a decades-old photo, tracks her down only to find out she's dead, then travels back in time to be with her.

Real life is considerably less romantic. Another young man fell in love with a girl from a photo who also happened to be dead. Intead of time-traveling, he found another way to be with her; he dug her up with necrophilia in mind.

I leave all the lurid details to Buck Wolf, my Weird News colleague.
