"...we should pass over all biographies of 'the good and the great,' while we search carefully the slight records of wretches who died in prison, in Bedlam, or upon the gallows."

The Best of Strange Company 2022




Yet another year has gone by, so it’s time to take a look at the Top Ten Strange Company posts for 2022!  As usual, it was an eclectic mix, with, I hope something for everybody!

Or, at least, everybody with weird tastes.


1. In Which Mr. Buchmann Takes an Unexpected Journey.  A 16th century man is kidnapped by fairies, and doesn’t enjoy it very much.


2. The Runcorn Poltergeist.  A polt case with some unique touches.


3. Down the Driveway, and Into Oblivion: The Disappearance of Charles Ulrich.  The title pretty much says it all: a man inexplicably vanishes from his own home, and is never seen again.


4. The Rougham Mirage.  The “ghost” of a Georgian-era mansion.


5. The Deathless Arm of Dan Donnelly; Or, You Never Know What Will Get You Into the History Books.  A 19th century boxer’s right arm has quite the afterlife.


6. One Night in Maracaibo.  A “strange meteorological occurrence” in 1886.


7.  The Fall of the House of Windham.  A wealthy family is unlucky enough to have one very eccentric relative.


8. Weekend Link Dump, August 19.  Can’t have a Top Ten list without one!


9. The Precolitsch; Or, When Hungarian Gypsies Say There is Trouble Ahead, Believe Them.  A creepy tale about a weird Transylvanian creature.


10. The Ngatea Crop Circle.  One of the more interesting “crop circle” stories.


And there you have it:  the best--or, at least, most viewed--blog posts of the year.  Here's to--God willing--a 2023 full of disappearances, ghosts, UFOs, and killer monsters!
