Secret Histories Waiting to be Read

There's a novel titled Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs that was published earlier this year. It sounds intriguing, full of spooky stories and an abandoned building.

To promote his book, Riggs made a trailer for the book. The trailer is almost a mini-documentary about his search, along with a Dutch urban exploration photographer, in Belgium for the building in his book. Along the way, he finds lots of abandonment - a rotting forest, a forgotten train station, a long-neglected and incredibly gorgeous house. The short film has spectacular shots that convey exactly why we love urban decay. Check out the You Tube video.

Gastronomical Ghouls

You can find creepiness anywhere, food included. This brilliantly entertaining website, called MoFA (Museaum of Food Anomolies) is proof of this. The website's mission states:

• • The MUSEUM OF FOOD ANOMALIES is an online art project of Michael Hanttula that exposes horrific aberrations of nature with photographs depicting common food items that have distorted into something more sinister than words can describe. The excellent submissions come from fine people around-the-world.
    
    

So you can submit your own photo of food witchery. The photo of menacing basil below is just a taste of what the website has on the menu.

"Put me in your sauce and you'll be sorry."

Zak Bagans Now Wearing Glasses

I miss Ghost Adventures. I find it odd that they aren't running any new episodes at this time of year. Granted The Travel Channel gave us a nice, long season this last go round, but I almost wish they had broken it up and given us some now.

I have little interest in Zak B's latest show Paranormal Challenge, but I went to the website anyway and discovered that in all the screen shots, Zak is wearing big, black-framed glasses. I think I may have to tune in just to see the hot GAC geekery!

UFO Spotted Over Notre Dame Stadium

Again with the UFOs. This time at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana. On September 3,after a game between Notre Dame and Florida was delayed and the stadium evacuated due to a violent thunderstorm, some fans witnessed strange objects flying above the stadium.

Bookish Spirits

I stumbled across this site dedicated to Willard Library, the oldest, still-functioning public library in Indiana. The library, built in 1885, is situated in a large Gothic Victorian house that is rumored to be haunted. The library's site, "Library Ghost" has three cameras set up for viewers to scout out spirits. The most seen apparition is a woman in grey that has been spotted wandering the children's reading room.

This begs the question: What are these spirits reading? If you were to come back as a ghost and haunt a library, what would you pick up off the shelves one more time?

UFOs over China

Fox News recently reported that planes were diverted from a major Chinese airport after UFOs were reported to be seen hovering above the runway at Jianbei International Airport in Chongquing. 

After the sightings, officials rerouted several flights to other airports.

This comes after a similar UFO sighting last year at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou when Xiaoshan Airport closed following reports of UFOs by airport controllers.

The craft disappeared but footage of a bright object floating across the night sky later became a YouTube sensation.

Jesus Christ Superstar

The Daily Mirror reported today that a French photographer named Luc Perrot captured an image that looks like Jesus in the clouds on a mountain above Reunion Island, which is known for its religious reputation. Perrot said:

"As I looked up, I noticed a shadow floating on clouds surrounded by a rainbow. It took me by complete surprise."
