quality weird

Much as I love me some weird, I’m cautious about what I consume. I seldom have time to read up on the latest historic mysteries and odd sightings, and even less to winnow out the wheat from the chaff.

Internet to the rescue, and I don’t mean leaning on Wikipedia or [insert true believer or paranoid ranter here]:

Do you have anything I should check out? Please share in the comments!

  1. Not the kind of reading I normally pursue (my mother’s many-years-ago description of me as “physically incapable of believing in anything you can’t hit with a hammer” still stands and Carl Sagan’s “The Demon-haunted World” remains the closest thing I have to a holy book) but not pursuing certainly doesn’t mean one doesn’t stumble across these things in surprising places.

    Which means I’m replying because I was hunting through my James Thurber books for a particular item and came across his 1957 essay on the Loch Ness Monster, “There’s Something Out There!” Which = it’s obviously FAR too long since I last read “Alarms & Diversions” because I’d forgotten this piece even existed. If you’ve never read it (and would like to), let me know and we’ll make arrangements. 😉

  2. I’ve grown more hard-headed with age, but these topics still fascinate me. *Something* is going on, even if it’s not what it immediately appears to be, or what is hyped by self-proclaimed “experts”. I’d love to read the LNM piece – email me!
