The Conspiracy
How do we know where the almighty Victor Hugo's head is? It could be anywhere: in his grave, in someone's freezer, with the government, or maybe with a crazy Les Miserables cult. Well, we have a theory about what exactly is happening to his head, and we are prepared to let you in on the secret. Listen closely.
So, we all know how Hugo was buried in the Panthéon after he died of pneumonia and that his death caused mourning throughout the nation. Would that nation not want to do all they could to preserve their national hero? We think yes. Our theory is that the crypt he is buried in is, in reality, a refrigeration system meant to preserve his body, especially the head. It awaits a later time when it can be revived and have Hugo, that great writer and thinker, walking among us again. In short, the theory is this: someone is in possession of the frozen head of Victor Hugo.
