"...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, where we're all full of brotherly love!



Watch out for the Fresno Nightcrawler!

The ghosts of Newcastle.

A pioneering architect.

A mysterious scandal.

A bloody poltergeist.

The great medieval famine.

The actress who was arrested for the way she rode a horse.

Extrajudicial witch hunts.

The Maya woman who was given a whole lot of teeth.

Medieval ways of keeping warm.

The 19th century Paris "season."

A tribute to "Gulliver's Travels."

Remembering an "ordinary" death from over 200 years ago.

UFOs over Melbourne.

UFOs over Wiltshire.

The final voyage of the "New Era."

In which we debate the smell of crape.

The social history of love.

Mars isn't dead, it's just taking a nice nap.

A historic Gilded Age party.

Flesh falls and blood rains.

The Pompeii of Greece.

The last woman to be hanged in Britain.

Old London fogs and smogs.

Real-life trick-or-treat horrors.

The mystery of the Kyshtym Dwarf.

The Mad Trapper of Red River.

When climbers and explorers suddenly feel they're not alone.

Some mysterious apparitions.

An affair's murderous end.

The "trick or treat" murder.

That's it for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll meet a bookish ghost.  In the meantime, here's some Albinoni:
