"...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."

Weekend Link Dump

 


Welcome to this week's Link Dump, although things are a bit hectic around here.  Most of the Strange Company HQ staffers are leaving for a brief holiday.



The once-notorious murder of Dr. Cronin.

Just George Sand being her scandalous self.

A holy miser.

A tale of floating coffins.

When too much motherhood lands you in court.  This is a very sad and bizarre case.

Neanderthals are rewriting history again.

We still remember the sinking of the "Edmund Fitzgerald."

Exploding pants.  I say no more.

A 4,000 year old labyrinth in Crete.

A mysterious underground chamber in Scotland.

The story behind a mystery tsunami in Japan.

The Roman Empire had quite a road network.

The latest archaeological discoveries in the City of David.

The difficulties of commemorating the "Glorious Revolution."

The demon dogs of New York City.

The demon cat of Washington, D.C.

The world's largest spiderweb.  Plus more spiders than I ever want to think about.

Advanced surgery in ancient Greece.

A Lieutenant General's memorial monuments.

The Italian "City of Witches."

And before you ask, yes, 3I/Atlas is still weird.

It's possible that Neanderthals were artistic.

The New York Zoo Hoax.

New York's "Lost Children's Room."

The life of Matilda of Scotland, Queen of England.

Why we no longer have "second sleep."

The "trick or treat murder."

Some particularly disturbing disappearances.

That's all for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll look at a teenager's unusually baffling disappearance.  In the meantime, here's a fun (if badly filmed) little clip:
