Aaaaaaaaaaaargh
Terror on the kitchen floor. My favourite read ever, Reader's Digest Book of Strange Stories, Amazing Facts, was compromised by having to turn pages carefully as a kid so I didn't end up on page 391 and the terrible faces that appeared on a kitchen floor in Belmez in Spain in 1971.
Faces appeared and a medieval cemetery was found underneath AND
these microphones had recorded sounds not audible to the ear-voices speaking strange languages, agonised moans matching the torment in their eyes of the faces on the floor!!!!!
and speaking of horrifying phantom people and agonised moans, Robert Corr is quite the Entertainer.
Bonus RDSSAF pic: Anyone looking for a thumbnail for their DEVO coverband blog, it's yours.

Oh my word, I thought my brother and I were the only two people alive who were addicted to that book!!! Wasn't it fun, being the only 9 year-old who knew what spontaneous human combustion was?? I'm sure there's a culinary slant in that somewhere...

Ha! Ditto. Only person in Muntadgin looking out for bipedal horse shoe prints. Still got my copy.

A sushi chef need not be a tuna and you're slicing, dicing and roasting with the best of them.

Shaun!
Yes and the terrifying top hat, the cuff link radio transmitter, and the finite Sun. The future? "Will the wheel soon be obsolete?" Magic stuff.
Ted!
: ) The Liebecks of out Burracoppin way? Small town. Small world. The places people end up. Did you get to the pub?

and Muntadgin, population 12 (19 when the wheat bin is open) is a small town. If you haven't been there, get out there, it's a rare place.

There was a a book I read when I was younger called 'The Screaming Skull & other Ghost stories'. All puportedly true stories. It included a tale about a song which was so sad, so powerful, it caused listeners to immediately go and commit suicide. But I can't for the life of me (boom boom...) remember what the song was, who sang it or wrote it.
It was probably an Australian band. You Ozzies seem to have managed to corner the market in songs which have a similar effect;)

Hi Anonymous
It's small farming town 300km East of Perth where I grew up. A pub and a school and that's about it. If you'd like some more info on it, just email me at [spiceblog] [a t] [gmail] [d o t] [com]

The faces of Belmez. I'm all too familiar with trying to avoid that page as well. In fact the image had the same effect on me after the google image search I did just now. Not quite as creepy, but as impactful was this image of Spring Heeled Jack:

I love that book. I still flip through it 25 years later.
