Now Spears is respected and even feared by some because of this story, Malarchy never really saw it, he made an assumption based on his observations. I'm not doubting the validity of your friends statement, I guess I am a doubting thomas, If I could see the grave, read a published first hand account or see pictures of the event I would be more comfortable.
NJC . No worries I'm a bit of a doubting thomas myself. The people that worry me are the true believers !
