  1. This reminded me of Brookville, Ohio — a search I did a long time ago and came up with over 71,000 hits. There is nothing that plentiful here in Brookville, Ohio but Google managed to find things I never knew about.

    Mother says that hair and fingernails continue to grow after the person is buried. Of course, being from West Virginia, where they relied on "Wakes" to make sure the person was dead, they sometimes buried living people.

    Mom said one man was so heartbroken that his true love died that he dug her up several days later. When he opened the coffin, there were fingernail scratches on the lid and sides and the girls fingernails were worn down to the bone as she tried, desperately, to get out.

    That gave me the creeps.

  3. Abe, I heard that same chilling story when I was a girl. I imagine back in the day, people in comas were assumed dead, and actually buried alive. Oh!

  8. I love this list! I need to figure out what the list for my blog would look like. Probably not NEARLY as fascinating :)

    Abe - this story is why my mother wanted to be cremated :)

    Cheers!

  11. Stags, mustaches, and uncle leo's angry eyes. There has to be a poem in there somewhere, Tess.

  12. R.A.D., I am amiss in that I should have given you credit for this great idea...which I brazenly stole from you...

  15. Reading search terms in my stats is one of my favorite things about blogging. So intriguing. Yours are much more eclectic than mine. I hope you'll post them often. I love reading them. Happy Birthday Month, Tess.

  21. Oh dear, people are looking for the weirdest things!
    What a surprise then, to have the luck to land on your blog.

    Happy Sunday, I imagine you in wolly socks, a good book, and a cup of coffee,

  22. P.S.:
    I just looked at my keyword analysis - gosh, I am afraid I'll win in the "single most uninteresting" category! I noticed, though, people are dreaming of Vienna and Christmas already. ;-)

  23. What a great idea (and results) I need to think about this for my own blog.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm going through some of your older posts because I am so enraptured with your blog, and then I come across this list of search terms.

    Alan Rickman? Do I have to share my fantasy boyfriend with you too? No one finds MY blog searching for Alan Rickman, and I mention him all the damn time.

    Just had to tell you. It amused me. I'll try not to stalk you in the comments anymore.
