Coinkydink?NESS

I noticed wierd things abot the people who wrote Frankenstein and Dracula when doing my homework. LOOK!

Frankentein

• Mary Shelley was born in Britain in 1797
• During the time there were alot of resurrectionists who dug-up graves and sold the bodies to medical students for money.
• Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein
• She was 19 when she wrote it
• She watched a crimanal being electricuted and after, the body was twitching as if it were still alive.

These things add up to how she got the idea, don't they?


Dracula

• Bram Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847
• His family's tombs were at St. Michan's Church
• The vaults os this church were full of tombs with people who became mummys through no means of mummification.
• Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. (In UCD library which I have personally been to)
• Bram Stoker published Dracula in 1897
• He was often ill and his mum told him ghost storys to cheer him up (Great way to cheer someone up)
• He read about a man in Transilvania, Romania called Vladislav Dracula. Vlad would stick people on spears and drink the blood after. Because of this, he was called Vlad the Impaler.

You can't deny a coincidence in those, seriouslyNESS.
LOL, ghost stories to cheer someone up. What a world, what a mum.
