A Bloody Double Grave - 1894 - Shadow Archives

 


In the quiet cemetery of City Loosley, there lies a wide grave, an unusual resting place, that holds two coffins side by side.  in the fall of 1894, a tragic story of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Secrest was buried beneath the earth , a husband who fatally shot his wife before turning the gun on himself. Yet, the mystery of why he did it lingers like a cold, persistent shadow. Was it a crime of passion, or was the couple’s fate sealed by a mysterious letter that arrived at the husband's door?  What do you think?
