Widow lives with corpses of sister and husband.

Wally, your clutches are slipping!

That's right, her sister gets a nice couch in a spare bedroom and the poor husband is banished to a couch in the garage.

Oy.

Creepy , and a bit sad.

Freaky... As I was opening this thread, the story started on the local morning news. It happened about an hour from hear

Not sure, but I think If I was gonna be involved in something like this I'd rather be out in the garage??

Stupid work is using up my valuble internet time.

Darn, beaten...

The article states that she had the bodies exhumed. Who would do that and apparently deliver them to the lady's house without asking a few questions?

Scary part is I know where Wyalusing is...

UPDATE:

WYALUSING, Pa. (July 7) - A 91-year-old woman found living with the corpses of her husband and twin sister will be allowed to keep them if she installs a mausoleum or crypt, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Jean Stevens has indicated through her attorney that she plans to build an above-ground vault on her property to store the bodies of James Stevens and June Stevens, according to Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett. "If she does that, the bodies will be released for that purpose," he said. "Otherwise they will be re-interred."

Begs the question: Who gets to do the annual inspection?("Uh, ma'am, I'm here to make sure you didn't leave the bodies out...")

Also, is it/they going to be like Lenin's tomb? Wonder how ol' Vladimir is holding up lately?

call me weird if you wish, but i feel for that old lady and i'm glad the system came up with a work-around for her.

Meh, I'm glad they worked it out, too. It means a lot to her and it isn't hurting anyone. People visit and talk to grave sites of loved ones all the time. She just took it a step further. I don't know that the fact that they were human bodies make it any more creepy than when people keep bodies (or parts) of game animals scattered around the house in plain view.

As an atheist who doesn't believe in the after life I say who gives a E36 M3, they are dead they aren't coming back.

As a human, I feel for the lady. Love is a strange thing, unlike cars there is no service manual for it.

HUGE difference between a trophy from a game animal and a human corpse. For one thing that game animal you see is basically an empty shell, a tanned, preserved hide over a metal frame work and stuffing material of some sort. Its basically like stiching up a fur coat around a form.

When a human is embalmed there is no where near the same level of preservation.

I didn't realised it was that close to me. I actually drove right past wyalusing today.

As the young'uns say, "Word Up, Bro." Man, 99% of the theistic funerals I've ever attended spend 20min talking about how the dearly departed is "not here anymore"..

Wow. I've read and re-read this about a dozen times, and the best I can come up with is "My condolences to the surviving sister. Does she REALLY need to be kept from even visiting the corpses?"

I'm guessing it's local gubmint keeping her safe from herself or some idiot thing.
