The Grantham rail crash, 1906
The fatal rail crash that occurred at Grantham on 19th September 1906 must count as the “Marie Celeste” of British rail accidents by virtue of the fact that the cause seems to be inexplicable. What happened is clear enough, but why it did is another matter altogether.

Borley Rectory was once famous (or notorious) for being “the most haunted house in England”. During the years of its greatest fame, namely the period from 1929 to 1938, it was certainly much haunted by psychical researchers, but whether anything more other-worldly ever happened there is a matter for considerable doubt and conjecture.

Dan Brown’s best-known novel was founded on a myth, but it was a myth which he appeared to believe to be true despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Charters Towers Town in outback Australia that has now started profitable gold mining operations again Charters Towers is a town within the Charters Towers Region in northern Queensland, Australia. It is 134 kilometres inland from Townsville on the Flinders Highway. At the 2016 census the population was 8,120 people. During the last quarter of the 19th century the town boomed as the rich gold deposits under the city were developed. After becoming uneconomic in the 20th century, profitable mining operations have commenced once again. June – August is the busiest season for tourism in Charters Towers, so lodging and other accommodations could cost more than usual. Spring (September through November) Spring daily highs range from 87.4°F (30.8°C) and 79.2°F (26.2°C), which will feel very nice given the humidity and wind but be prepared for the occasional dust storms that spring up out of nowhere.

Randall WindlePublished 3 years ago in FYIWhy Conspiracy Theories Take Root And Grow
I've always wondered about conspiracies and conspiracy theories as I got to adulthood and began to pay attention to the news. There's been some interesting ones, some not-so-interesting ones, and then there were the theories that seemed too far-fetched not to be entertained by them. My curiosity started with the question "how is this a thing?" In a world of many types of people, anything is possible, but I always imagined if I could see the holes in the story, then anybody could. But, they grow, like a fresh seed in the spring. Conspiracies take on a life of their own, growing from creation to adulthood, like an embryo. They can be mapped from their very beginning to their very end. They have a shelf life, much like humans in the grand scheme.

The chalk hills of southern England are renowned for a number of figures cut into the turf, mostly in the shape of horses. However, some of the figures are very different in nature, and Dorset’s Cerne Giant must surely count as the most remarkable.
John WelfordPublished 3 years ago in FYIThe Nampa Doll
I grew up in Nampa, Idaho. It was a small town, set in a wide desert valley. It was pretty quiet, arguably even boring. Crime was low, winters were cold and long, and sugar beets were the crop of choice. We had neither much to brag about, nor much to be ashamed about. But we did have the Nampa Doll, an object that threatened to alter the world’s perception of history, and make everyone from curious third graders to college professors, scratch their heads in wonder.
Ron DillonPublished 3 years ago in FYIThe Two Books That Eerily Predicted The Sinking of The Titanic
According to Statista, at least 6 out of 10 people find it hard to believe in psychic abilities and the unknown. Majority of the time, any strange or eerie occurrence is dismissed as coincidence and there’s still no scientific fact to corroborate phenomenons like ghosts or the ability to speak to them. Neither is there any non-falsified scientific evidence that can predict your future accurately. Nor is there any technology that can take you back in time. But the famous case of the Titanic is so peculiar, that it comes as close to the proof of clairvoyance and the ability to predict the future as we might ever get.
