I will see home tonight in spite of the last tempest, or I may never see home!" Over two-hundred years later and he has yet to make it home – but that hasn’t stopped his tempest! (The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg) *** Imagine attending college for several years, only to find out that the whole time you’ve been studying on top of the corpses of thousands of mental patients. That’s exactly what happened in 2013 when The University of Mississippi made plans to expand parking for their students and staff. (The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi) *** Dealing with a ghost or two is awful enough – but what if you’re attacked by a whole gang of ghouls? It was reported as real news in 1889’s Chicago Tribune! (A Whole Gang O’ Ghosts) *** Michael Bryson disappeared on August 5th, 2020 from Hobo Campground at Umpqua National Forest. He has yet to be found. (The Disappearance of Michael Bryson) *** When it comes to cryptids, you have many to choose from – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, the list goes on and on. But I’m willing to bet nowhere on the list of your favorite cryptids, or even the cryptids you’ve ever heard of, do you have an entry for “The Belled Buzzard” of Texas. (The Belled Buzzard Legend) *** When the Black Plague arrived at Eyam's doorstep in the 17th century, its villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It’s the tragic tale of England’s Plague Village. (The Black Plague Comes to Eyam) *** Was Stanley Stiers the real-life inspiration for Michael Myers in 1978’s John Carpenter film, “Halloween?” (The Real Michael Myers)<br />SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…<br />“The Real Michael Myers” from Casper McFadden at TheMorbidLibrary.com: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yvj6ueze" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yvj6ueze</a>, and from TheScareChamber.com: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/vmew9uvb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/vmew9uvb</a>; “Halloween” theme piano solo by Noud van Harskamp: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T9m-fj8K9c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T9m-fj8K9c</a>, “Halloween Kills | Epic Orchestral Theme” by Mike Chibante: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E82MEfQiffk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E82MEfQiffk</a><br />“The Disappearance of Michael Bryson” posted at Strange Outdoors: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mwvb3am8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mwvb3am8</a> (If you know anything that could help solve Michael Bryson’s disappearance, or if you were at the Hobo Campground around August 3rd, 4th, or 5th of 2020, please reach out to the sheriff’s office at (541) 682-4150, option 1, and reference case No. 20-5286.)<br />“The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg” posted at SlightlyOddFitchburg.com: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3z7pdtzn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3z7pdtzn</a> <br />“The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi” by Erin Wisti for Ranker.com’s “Graveyard Shift”:<a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8tdu6k" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8tdu6k</a> <br />“A Whole Gang O’ Ghosts” posted from Strange Company: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9ynpev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9ynpev</a> <br />“The Belled Buzzard Legend” from Texas Cryptid Hunter: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p875fxv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p875fxv</a> <br />“The Black Plague Comes to Eyam” by Stephanie Almazan for TheLineUp.com: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/1aptirxk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/1aptirxk</a> <br /><br />= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<br />Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
