Yes, it's again time for this blog's annual tradition of counting down the most popular posts from the past year. As usual, it's an eclectic lot, with (for me at least) a couple of surprises.
This was Number One in a landslide--in fact, for a time it was one of Strange Company's most viewed posts ever. And I have no idea why. Usually, when a post of mine gets a large amount of hits, it's because some bigger blog or website linked to it. As far as I can tell, that didn't happen here. Perhaps people just like tales of Colonists Behaving Badly.
2. The Best of Strange Company 2022.
A bit of irony there.
An Irish schoolmaster gets tired of being repeatedly kidnapped by spirits.
4. Weekend Link Dump, October 20, 2023.
What would a Top Ten list be without a WLD?
A couple's strange disappearance.
6. Over the Bridge of Time: The Vision of Irene Kuhn
A woman's premonition of death.
7. The Witch-Cats of Scrabster.
I would have been very disappointed if beer-drinking supernatural cats had failed to make the Top Ten. You guys didn't let me down.
8. The Fine Art of Libelous Tombstones
A look at a little-known, but delightful topic.
9. Screams in the Night: An Unusual Mystery at Sea
The crew of a ship sailing in the middle of nowhere hears…something.
The case of a very enigmatic burial.
And there you have it for this year! Happy New Year, everyone, and I hope 2024 will be another year of disappearances, insulting tombstones, and even--if we're very, very lucky--demonic cats.
I found the sailing ship's crew hearing the wailing scream to be creepy. It was a single scream, obviously of unearthly sound. Brrrr. And I liked the story of the fairies. They seem often to have it in for people, but if one pays attention to ancient charms, one can remain safe. Something to remember... Happy new year, Undine! (And I don't need to hear tales of demonic cats, since I could TELL them myself...)
