I was leafing through an old book of strange true stories, and found the tale of Trevor Silverwood, a Yorkshire ex-councillor who was plagued by postcards written in shorthand, and signed with the "Saint" matchstick figure. They came from all over the world, and knew the most intimate details of his life.
When he went to the local newspaper, he received a postcard telling him not to be naughty, and the messages continued. They were still going on at the time the book was published (late seventies).
Anyone know anything about this? It sounds similar to other "strange letters" stories, I suppose it would be called stalking nowadays. The fact the postcards were postmarked from all over the world is an odd element.
