Mysterious Rest Place

Shakespeare's corpse was buried in the Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-Upon-Avon. He put a curse on his grave, warning people never to disturb his final resting place. His epitaph on the tombstone was:
"Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear,
To dig the dust enclosed here;
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he who moves my bones."
Creepy huh? As a result, Shakespeare's tomb is one of the very few tombs undisturbed to this day.
