So it’s Friday, end of the work week and I was digging through the clothes looking for something clean to wear. Must do laundry this weekend. That prompted me to remember the urban legend of the poison dress. You know the one I’m talking about. It’s even been an episode of CSI: NY.
The story goes that a girl wears a new dress to a dance. During the evening she feels faint several times and gets her escort to take her outside for fresh air. Sometime later in the evening she becomes very ill and dies in the bathroom. Later investigation reveals the dress came from a deceased girl. The dress had been removed from the body just before burial. The formaldehyde from the dead girl seeped into the dress and then the girl at the party.
In the CSI: NY episode it was a wedding dress. And I think a man actually died first because he was wearing a suit stolen from a dead guy. I think it was also on Urban Legends (love that show) Of course the legend has been proven not to be true. But it did give me ideas for stories.
Well, this was really late and now it’s time for bed. Next week’s posts should be on time.
Until next time…
Cindy
