This happened at the beginning of the last century. To begin with, in In 1900, the Texas town of Galveston was terribly unlucky – 9 September he was dilapidated by the Great Galveston Hurricane. Of forty thousand inhabitants of this settlement died at that time (or missing) almost eight thousand.
The hurricane, and then the downpour that hit the city, literally demolished many buildings and even the local cemetery, so in those days, corpses, furniture, coffins swam across the streets.
A natural disaster washed the actor’s metal coffin from the grave, toured in Texas a year ago with a theater troupe and suddenly here died of a heart attack, Charles Coglen (1841-1899).
Since water carried the coffins into the sea, a metal box with the ashes of actor Coglen soon ended up in the open ocean. Because the the zinc coffin was airtight, it did not drown, but set off travel by the will of the Gulf Stream.
It was later determined that the ashes of the famous actor of the late XIX century, therefore, traveled the ocean for more than nine years. And in he finally circled America, swam for almost six and a half thousand miles and one day reached Prince Edward Island. Here he was washed ashore by the helpful waves of the ocean.
The most amazing thing in this story is that it’s on this the island was a family crypt of the Coglen nests (Charlottetown). The actor’s coffin was thrown literally a few meters from him. It turns out that the deceased as if consciously returned to his darling nest … Here the case is more or less clear, but how to understand that the fact when the graves move from place to place. It’s real mystical mystery.
