3. Mysterious Murder Link

Barbara Forrest (Born 1954) and Mary Ashford (Born 1797) were both the victims of murder 157 years apart yet both instances have remarkable similarities. They were both found murdered on the same day, 27th May, in the same town, both in 1817 and 1974 the 26th of May was Whit Monday, they had both been raped before they were murdered, they were both found within 400 yards of each other, they were both murdered at about the same time of day, there were attempts to hide both bodies, both girls had visited a friend on the evening of Whit Monday, both changed into a new dress that night, and both went to a dance.

The man accused of each murder had the same name – Thornton, and both men were acquitted of murder, both girls have very similar facial features and 10 days before, 17th May 1974, Barbara Forrest said to a friend, “This is going to be my unlucky month. I just know it. Don’t ask me why.”

Yep I read that one Erin....very strange.

 Wow.... that is a whole list of coincidences....

Oooh I love things like that, I will have a nose tomorrow....

I'm still working my way through them Stonks 3 days after finding the site.

It's nice to get a little knowledge inbetween gaga and facebook

Oh and I came across that site after buying my 9 year a book called 'Toilet Reading' or something similar.  For those times that he gets bored on the loo   The book was full of great stuff but the coincidences page made me google a few things just to see if they were a load of bull or not and that's where I came across that site. 

Bit of useless info there for you
