Party time!
What the hell are ley lines?
Can't think of a Christmas gift for that special someone? Get a coffin!
Or perhaps you'd want to give a box of leeches.
The life of a lady-in-waiting at the court of Czar Nicholas II.
A newly-discovered medieval curse tablet.
The world's most haunted bodies of water.
The "Christmas Tree Boat" shipwreck.
The midwinter tradition of the "hobby horse."
The teenager who lives in the 1940s.
A sanctuary for debtors.
A medieval love token.
The costs of schooling in the early 19th century.
More on the "ultimate poltergeist."
Some dancing fairies in Cornwall.
A frigate duel in 1782.
A Victorian boy accidentally has a very merry Christmas.
The rights of the dead.
A look at the friendship between Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins.
A photo tour of 1960s Laurel Canyon. (Incidentally, if you're interested in California's music scene, I recently read a fascinating--if somewhat speculative--book about Laurel Canyon's dark side.)
A memorable (if sad) moment in platypus history.
A murder/suicide in Pennsylvania.
The tricky subject of museum thefts.
A significant discovery of underwater relics.
We are still arguing about Neanderthals.
The islands that boast "talking gravestones."
The strategic gambles of Admiral Nimitz.

That's all for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at an elderly woman's inexplicable disappearance. In the meantime, here's more of King's College.
The young man who lives like he's in the 1940s seems pretty sharp to me. It's not like he thinks he's back in that decade; he just prefers it. His car is phenomenal, and there's nothing wrong with not having a computer or cell-phone. Good for him.
