    Mysterious Ripped-Up Road In Wiltshire

The section of the road has been so badly damaged that the tarmac is completely snapped or lying a 45-degree angle in some places. Wiltshire Council say the road has been closed since February 17th, but some...

    A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Back From San Francisco (Fortean Family History)

    Route 1 offers breathtaking vistas of the ocean along the Central California Coast. Unfortunately, following a sea cliff exposes it to washing out and landslides nearly every winter. Come summer, construction and rubbernecking tourists slow traffic to a virtual standstill on the winding road...

    The Shed Man

    Hello, I’d like to share my experience that has stayed with me my entire life. I thought I ought to have it on record before I forget it. It’s sort of long, but please bear with me.

    Macabre Place Names

    I recently "learned" that a street near where I grew up, innocuously called Blagreaves Lane, was named after a corruption of the term "Black Graves", so named because it is built over the site of mass graves dug for victims of the black death. I say "learned" in inverted commas as it seems to be...
