    Milton Hood Ward's Activationism "Cult"

    This was apparently a short-lived beatnik-esq happening "cult" that existed for possiblly a single summer season at Cape Cod. Life Magazine did a photo essay on it here: https://www.life.com/history/activationism-photos-of-a-groovy-cult-on-cape-cod-summer-1948/

    The Clearwater Monster Hoax (Florida; 1940s)

    Source Link is dead. The MIA article can be accessed at: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2005-04-25-0504220620-story.html I dunno - we go round and round discussing giant penguins here and elsewhere ... And I leave this hanging. Although in my defence it was covered back in the day...
