Title: That Name "Collins"
Post by: Cassandra on February 12, 2004, 09:23:48 AM
It seems like you never know what strange things you may find when it comes to the "Collins" name.  Here are two strange, but supposidly true stories that are associated with the name Collins.

Strange is right, Cassandra!  What morbid stories... and yet, I couldn't tear myself away.  Ulp.  [heh]

And I unmistakably heard a guest introduced on "Regis and Kelly" this morning as Angie Collins.  She was seeking her long lost love.  ;)

Cassandra, what a tragic story about the collinwood school, but isn't strange that the DS tv "collinwood" (seaview) is being used as a school today?

Thanks for sharing about the deadohio.com site.  I spent another 2 hours or so perusing it--- and that was just the CEMETERIES section! ;D

It makes Ohio seem just as exciting as... as... NEW JERSEY!  (I kid you not) :o

I collect URLs for these sites, of which NJ appears to have a disproportionate share.  Makes me wish I lived anywhere but in Condo-necticut, where the deliciously desolate, appetizingly abandoned, and wondrously weird, daily vanish beneath bulldozers, later to be smothered by "townhouses" and McMansions.  :(

 Wow, that is a strange coincidence!  Are you sure she didn't look familiar to you? ;)

  Yes, now that you've mentioned it, it is very strange.   It seems like the name itself brings tragedies with it.   I wonder if this is how DC came up with the name "Collins?"

I believe Art Wallace is actually the one who came up with the Collins name, but that is an interesting theory.  ;)
