You've heard of ghost ships but have you heard of a ghost lighthouse?? In 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished off the face of the earth when a heavy fog rolled in that was so thick, people on the mainland couldn't see the light anymore. When the fog cleared, the light was off and there was no response when the house was hailed. When people went over to investigate, they found their clothes, food, everything like they'd just been there a second ago. Even all of the doors were closed.
They also found heavy damage to one of the docks. It was logged that the dock was going through repairs but no one mentioned that it had actually been demolished and there was a giant boulder laying on top of what was left of it. The main theory is that they all went, at once??, to tie something?? down, and all got swept away by the sea...??
The ocean's scary. Here's a video about how scary the ocean is. And here's a much shorter video about my views on the ocean in general.
Yooo, really? DANG... That's so wild holy crap!! Ghost lighthouses... Honestly I can see it- they're definitely liminal spaces to me in general, honestly. And the ocean is definitely scary too!!! Thank you for the interesting facts!!! c:
I am bad with funfacts, but I can give facts about bugs? does that count? Botfly funfacts: While you see them on flesh a lot, they actually like to eat Parasites more then anything. They can lay about 300 to 1000 eggs in a set :3
Try to hide if not your thing. But Trick or Treat :3
DANG... Botflies are wild... And speaking of them: If you're into horror comics and time travel shenanigans, All Night Laundry is about people dealing with an entity called The Botfly!!!
A Mütter Museum at the physicians college in Philadelphia has preserved organs (and other things) with mutations and anomalies on display for medical research and education... It's extremely wild to see, but only if you aren't grossed out by body parts!
did you know that one variation of all hallow's eve is cabbage night? it's my favorite halloween factoid
Cabbage Night stems from an old Scottish tradition, according to "Framingham Legends," a history of the Massachusetts town. In Framingham, which apparently also calls it Cabbage Night, girls on Halloween Eve would closely examine cabbages pulled out of their neighbor's patches to divine the qualities of their future husbands.
"Once the cabbage had served its purpose, the only logical thing to do with it was throw it against the door and run really fast, thus beginning a long tradition of Halloween pranks," the book states.
