And they were labeled 1,2,3,4,6, so all the administrators were looking for #5 the whole day.”“Seniors took a cow up to the second floor of the school. Cows can walk up stairs but can't walk back down.”“All 325 grads had one marble. The principal was confused when the 1st kid shook his hand & gave it to him. Then he looked at us ALL in terror when the 2nd kid did, realizing what was about to happen.”“1,500 pounds of cow manure on the front main steps.”“The seniors my freshman year put icy hot on ALL of the toilet seats.”“Long ago, my sister's class made up an entire student.

It was … original.”“My class released thousands of crickets into the halls, they heard chirps for a couple years.”“We started rumors about God-awful pranks that the staff would dread happening and kept moving the date and making them look over their shoulders and then just never did anything. Purely psychological.”“The seniors took forks from the cafeteria (throughout the year) and gave them back at graduation as they crossed the stage.”“We hired a mariachi band to follow around the principal all day.”Second Date Update: Jason and Maya went to dinner...was it something about his table manners or lack there of?

This episode features a conversation with Rupert Read, co-director of The Climate Majority Project. It was recorded in March 2025.Rupert is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, a former spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion, and at the Climate Majority Project, works to build a mass, moderate climate movement by supporting community-led adaptation, democratic participation, and practical climate action across the UK. He's the author of several influential books on climate and society, and is a frequent commentator on the likes of the BBC, Al Jazeera, and other major platforms.His latest book, Transformative Adaptation: Another world is still just possible, argues that we are now beyond the safe climate threshold and must bring adaptation to the cenre of our response — not as retreat, but as an opportunity for deep change. Transformative Adaptation offers a framework for reimagining how we live, work, and govern in the face of climate impacts. It champions localism, community resilience, and working with nature, while challenging dominant systems that are no longer fit for purpose.Amongst other things, Rupert and I discussed how communicators can help audiences meet the realities of our current predicament with active hope and a sense of agency, which actions and interventions need to be taken and how we can support them, and what the concept of “thrutopia” offers for imagining what it all might look like.Additional links: Get Rupert's book Transformative Adaptation: A new world is still just possibleCheck out Rupert's website The Climate Majority Project websiteSome words from Rupert on ThrutopiaArticle with Caroline Lucas about climate populism

Send me a messageIn early 871, Wessex stood on the brink. The Great Heathen Army—an alliance of Viking warriors—had already devastated Northumbria and East Anglia, and now turned its full fury toward the last unconquered Anglo-Saxon kingdom. After a Viking victory at the Battle of Reading, King Æthelred of Wessex and his younger brother, Prince Alfred—later known as Alfred the Great—rallied their forces for a decisive counterstrike.Become A PatronMake A DonationSupport the show

For my second of three consecutive duo interviews, I chat with composers Aaron May and David Ridley. While they've been composing together for a while, their biggest project is also their most recent - the viral Netflix series Adolescence, from director Philip Barantini and starring Stephen Graham. It's not surprise, then, that we spend a lot of our chat talking about the series, including working in the single take, real time format, understanding that the series might not need score at all, and the genesis of the child vocalization that forms an integral part of their score's palette. Dave has also scored all of Phil's projects, with Aaron also scoring all but the first two, so we discuss this long term director combination as well as how the two work together (and work separately). This is one of the more tangential conversations I've had - Aaron and Dave warned me beforehand that it might happen, but I certainly instigated it! I should have known it was coming when we lost track of time before recording talking about East Anglia and the British ritual/folk year. Shame that wasn't recorded too... Aaron and Dave's score is available on all major platforms, as are their other scores and their debut solo albums (each released in 2023). Adolescence is currently on Netflix, and there are rumors that a second season may come (though this would at least be a surprise to me). You can find out more about Aaron and Dave on their joint website.

Send me a messageIn the year 865, a new and terrifying force arrived on English shores—not a raiding party, but a full-scale invasion. The Great Heathen Army, a coalition of battle-hardened Viking war bands, swept across the land with ruthless efficiency. Northumbria, divided by internal strife, fell quickly. East Anglia offered tribute—then resistance—and paid dearly for it. These early campaigns would shatter Anglo-Saxon unity and mark the beginning of a long and brutal struggle for control of England. This is the story of when those English Anglo Saxon kingdoms first came face-to-face with the Great Heathen Army..Become A PatronMake A DonationSupport the show

He is the scientific director of Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, chief scientist at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and an honorary professor in ecology and conservation biology at the University of East Anglia.He was born in Carmarthen in Wales and was fascinated with animals from an early age, rearing rescued common kestrels, owls and hawks in his back garden. He studied biology at North-East London Polytechnic and, after learning about the plight of the Mauritius kestrel, he was determined to go out to the country to try to save the bird.He arrived in Mauritius in 1979 when there were only two known breeding pairs left in the wild. By the time he left in 1999 he'd established a captive breeding programme and today hundreds of Mauritius kestrels fly over the islands where he spent decades pioneering his, sometimes controversial, methods. Today the Mauritius kestrel is the national bird. He is also responsible for saving from extinction three species of reptiles, a fruit bat and several plants.He was appointed an MBE for his work in 2004 and in 2016 he won the prestigious Indianapolis Prize – the world's leading award for animal conservation.Carl lives in Carmarthen with his wife and two children and assorted animals including two Andean condors called Carlos and Baby.

The origins and nature of nationhood and nationalism continue to be topics of heated scholarly debate. This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field.  The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism (Cambridge UP, 2024) also explores nationhood and nationalism's relationships with a wide variety of cultural practices and social institutions, in addition to the phenomenon's crucial political dimensions. Its wide range of regional case studies brings a truly global, comparative perspective to a field long constrained by Eurocentric assumptions. Volume I tracks turning points in the history of nationhood and nationalism from ancient times to the twentieth century. Volume II theorizes the connections between nationhood/nationalism and ideology, religion and culture. Together, they enable readers to understand the roots of how nationhood and nationalism function in the present day.

Is genuine originality a realistic goal for artists?From fashion to fantasy, entertainment to enterprise, we seek the 'new' as the means to originality, change, and creativity. And for the most part, we imagine the new is always identifiable as a radical break from the past. But the nature of the new is more elusive and unknown than it first appears. Is the new an illusion, and the search for originality a mistake? Should creative endeavour be focussed on other goals, such as the timeless, the provocative, and the beautiful? Or is the new an essential part of life, creativity and action, without which we would have mere passive re-orderings of the known?Martin Puchner is a literary critic and philosopher. He is the Byron and Anita Wien Chair of Drama and of English and Comparative Literature at Harvard University. Claire Hynes is Associate Professor in Literature & Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, and an author of fiction and creative non-fiction. Stanley Fish is a literary critic, legal scholar, and public intellectual. Renowned for his role in developing reader-response theory in literary studies, Fish has written on a wide range of topics including the poetry of John Milton, the distinction between free speech and academic freedom, and the doctrine of liberalism.

Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>>  ———————————————————————The financial reality of dental practice ownership and associate earnings is often shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. In this revealing conversation with dental accountancy expert Johnny Minford, we pull back the curtain on what dentists are actually earning based on the latest NASAL figures.Prepare for some genuine surprises as we discover that NHS practices are currently showing slightly higher profits than private practices – £166,000 versus £162,000 per principal – completely contrary to conventional wisdom. Johnny explains how private practice profits have declined from post-pandemic highs while NHS practices have maintained steady growth, despite ongoing recruitment challenges.We explore the dramatic earnings gap between associates in different settings, with private practice associates earning approximately £105,000 compared to £74,000 for their NHS counterparts. Yet these figures don't tell the whole story, as they fail to account for lifestyle choices, working hours, and specialized services that significantly impact earning potential.Perhaps most startling is the geographical disparity revealed in our analysis – dentists in London earn approximately 33% less than colleagues in regions like East Anglia, Scotland and the Northeast. We examine the complex factors behind this counterintuitive finding, from higher operating costs to competitive pressures.The financial landscape of dentistry continues to evolve rapidly, with practices increasingly diversifying their income streams. The percentage of predominantly NHS practices has fallen significantly in recent years, reflecting a strategic shift across the profession.Have you ever wondered how your practice earnings compare to industry benchmarks?

fWotD Episode 2874: Edward the Martyr Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 18 March 2025 is Edward the Martyr.Edward the Martyr (c. 962 – 18 March 978) was King of the English from 8 July 975 until he was killed in 978. He was the eldest son of King Edgar (r. 959–975). On Edgar's death, the succession to the throne was contested between Edward's supporters and those of his younger half-brother, the future King Æthelred the Unready. As they were both children, it is unlikely that they played an active role in the dispute, which was probably between rival family alliances. Edward's principal supporters were Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Æthelwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia, while Æthelred was backed by his mother, Queen Ælfthryth and her friend Æthelwold, Bishop of Winchester. The dispute was quickly settled. Edward was chosen as king and Æthelred received the lands traditionally allocated to the king's eldest son in compensation.Edgar had been a strong and overbearing king and a supporter of the monastic reform movement. He had forced the lay nobility and secular clergy to surrender land and sell it at low prices to the monasteries. Æthelwold had been the most active and ruthless in seizing land for his monasteries with Edgar's assistance. The nobles took advantage of Edgar's death to get their lands back, mainly by legal actions but sometimes by force. The leading magnates were split into two factions, the supporters of Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia and Æthelwine, who both seized some monastic lands which they believed belonged to them, but also estates claimed by their rivals. The disputes never led to warfare.Edward's short reign was brought to an end by his murder in March 978 in unclear circumstances. He was killed on the Dowager Queen Ælfthryth's estate at the Gap of Corfe in Dorset, and hurriedly buried at Wareham. A year later, his body was translated with great ceremony to Shaftesbury Abbey in Dorset. Contemporary writers do not name the murderer, but almost all narratives in the period after the Norman Conquest name Ælfthryth. Some modern historians agree, but others do not. Another theory is that the killers were thegns of Æthelred, probably acting without orders.Medieval kings were believed to be sacrosanct, and Edward's murder deeply troubled contemporaries who regarded it as a mortal sin. He soon came to be revered as a saint, and his feast of 18 March is still listed in the festal calendar of the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Edward was known in his own time for his extreme violence, and historians consider his veneration thoroughly undeserved. The historian Tom Watson comments: "For an obnoxious teenager who showed no evidence of sanctity or kingly attributes and who should have been barely a footnote, his cult has endured mightily well."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Tuesday, 18 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Edward the Martyr on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.

We are approaching our 200th episode and 2nd birthday on WAYG! Lots of exciting things have happened in the last two years, including the launch of our club. Branded bags should arrive in time for our anniversary, so keep your eyes peeled. I have had a wonderful time travelling far and wide to collect stories for the show. They all stick with me and all I have to do is hear one sentence on tape and I can remember exactly where I was and who I was talking to! I would love to carry on for years to come, and have plans in the works for some trips this Spring. I personally can't wait for the weather to warm up, not least because the batteries will last longer in the recorder! In order to keep producing WAYG, we have decided to allow a small number of brands to advertise with us. That way it will stay totally free.If you want WAYG without any ads, you can join the club, paying less than the price of a cup of coffee for a month's worth of regular episodes PLUS bonus episodes, too. Or you can sign up for 6 months or a year. Find out more at :www.whereareyougoing.co.uk/club.Finally - if you follow us on Instagram you will be able to see portraits of some of the people I chat to - with their permission of course. I obviously think that radio/ audio has the best pictures.. but also concede that some things are too good not to share. The Molly Dancers of East ANglia in an upcoming episode will definitely make it on the grid! There is an exquisite embroidered cardigan from episode 186 on there already. It belongs in a gallery..

fWotD Episode 2867: Matthew Brettingham Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 11 March 2025 is Matthew Brettingham.Matthew Brettingham (1699 – 19 August 1769), sometimes called Matthew Brettingham the Elder, was an English architect who rose from modest origins to supervise the construction of Holkham Hall, and become one of the best-known architects of his generation. Much of his principal work has since been demolished, particularly his work in London, where he revolutionised the design of the grand townhouse. As a result, he is often overlooked today, remembered principally for his Palladian remodelling of numerous country houses, many of them situated in the East Anglia area of Britain. As Brettingham neared the pinnacle of his career, Palladianism began to fall out of fashion and neoclassicism was introduced, championed by the young Robert Adam.Born in Norwich, into a family of craftsmen, Brettingham worked initially as a surveyor, gaining experience through jobs for the city's civic authorities. Work included restorations at Norwich Cathedral, at the castle, at the local prison and the shire hall. His professional ascent began in 1743 with his appointment to the post of Clerk of Works at Holkham. The succeeding decades saw many aristocratic commissions, predominantly in East Anglia, but including work at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire.In addition to designing their country houses, Brettingham developed a substantial practice in the construction of town houses for the aristocracy. Major commissions included Norfolk House and Cumberland House. Drawing inspiration from Italian urban palazzi, and from Andrea Palladio's rural villas, he created a style and arrangements of rooms perfectly suited to the lavish entertaining undertaken by the mid-18th century nobility. Here, as in the country, he was ultimately superseded, and his reputation eclipsed, by the rise and success of Robert Adam. Brettingham died in 1769. His son, Matthew Brettingham the Younger, also pursued an architectural career.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 11 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Matthew Brettingham on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Raveena.

"Taylor Swift is somebody who has managed to keep reinventing herself to stay relevant." Welcome to Rippling Points, more content and more insights and inspiration into the craft of literature: Marni Appleton is here to talk about her short story collection, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, published by Indigo Press. We discuss: - How Taylor Swift's ability to reinvent herself and stay relevant differs to that of the characters - Ideas of productivity and how they shouldn't reflect your value in the world The modern world Marni presents to us in her stories is one that feels incredibly liberating, but then hinged by archaic attitudes from the past all at the same time. Women go viral on social media for seemingly innocent reasons; open and polyamorous relationships that suddenly feel shut; roles in theatre feel too close to real life. Marni holds a PhD in creative writing from the University of East Anglia. Her writing has been published in Banshee, The Tangerine, Contemporary Women's Writing. This is her first collection.

Finally Winter appears to be coming to an end, and so too our strand of Winter Tales. Behind me you can probably hear the fire crackling on the hearth, but soon we will warm ourselves with the return of the sun, taking the chill off our bones and quickening the long Winter nights. However, we couldn't leave you without one last, sharp icicle of fear to remind you that we are not out of the woods and into the meadow just yet. Tonight's story, Sub-Zero is a cold walk in a dark place, courtesy of writer and friend of the podcast, SA Harris. We had the honors of hosting a few events last year to promote their second novel, Seahurst, a chilling tale of ghosts and the unquiet past on the Suffolk coast. Subzero should give you a taste of that novel, and we heartily recommend you pick up a copy.  Tonight's reader is Ruby Bardwell Dix, one of East Anglia's most promising new acting talents. She is fresh off a barnstorming production of Richard II on the stage, and will soon join the pantheon of iconic horror character as the Shadow Woman in the forthcoming film The Spirit Lock, shot on the Suffolk Borders. So please enjoy one more shot ice-cold darkness before it melts away for good, SA Harris's Sub-Zero.... 

How did a Viking army transform the very fabric of a nation?In 865, the Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia.

Following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon populace mounted several resistance efforts against William the Conqueror's rule. These uprisings were driven by widespread resentment towards the oppressive methods employed by Norman authorities and the displacement of Anglo-Saxon landholders. In 1067, Eadric 'The Wild' led one of the earliest rebellions in Herefordshire, collaborating with Welsh princes to raid Norman positions. The most significant insurrection occurred between 1069 and 1070 in Northern England, where local leaders, including Edgar Atheling, allied with Danish forces to challenge Norman control. William responded with the 'Harrying of the North,' a brutal campaign that devastated the region and quelled resistance. Another notable figure, Hereward the Wake, spearheaded guerrilla warfare from the Isle of Ely in East Anglia around 1070-1071, symbolising the enduring Anglo-Saxon defiance. Despite these efforts, the superior military organisation and harsh reprisals of the Normans eventually subdued the uprisings, leading to the consolidation of Norman authority over England.

England's Land Use Framework is out to consultation. We speak to the academic who brought groups of farmers together to speak to Defra officials as they developed the policy. We also consider what impact the framework might have on big renewable projects in future - like one in East Anglia. The proposed solar development in East Pye in South Norfolk covers 2,700 acres in ten different locations, Local residents who object to the scheme have set up their own group called Block East Pye. They say they are not Nimbys but that the current plans will directly impinge on residents and wildlife. Food prices are up and driving inflation. The Consumer Price Index or CPI is up 3% in the year to January. However some basics have gone up by more: butter up by 18%, eggs by 4% and beef up 5%. What does this mean for farmers, who often tell us that they're not being paid enough for the food they produce? We ask an expert from the Royal Agricultural University whether price rises mean more money for farmers.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

It's an annoying thing to have to write down, because in my head it felt like it was only yesterday, but it's been 10 years since I finished university, packed a big rucksack, and went to go and see the world. Lots of people had gap years. We all knew that there were only two essential items that you needed. Some rehydration tablets and a Lonely Planet guide.This week, I was joined on the Country Life Podcast by Tom Hall the head of Lonely Planet UK, to drill down into what makes Lonely Planet guides so essential for the modern traveller, plus a nice chat about the 2025 Best in Travel Awards.Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple PodcastsListen to Country Life podcast on SpotifyListen to Country Life podcast on AudibleSo naturally that began with a discussion about Tom looking for the Ark of The Covenant in Ethiopia, why Belize is a must-visit destination in 2025 and the joys of high-speed rail in Uzbekistan. Naturally.We talked a lot about responsible tourism, what it really means and how to do it, and why Mozambique is a bucket-list destination for Tom. We also got into the nitty gritty of how a guide is put together, what's important and what isn't, and why East Anglia is the 8th best destination to travel to in 2025. Nobody was more surprised than me, someone who grew up in Suffolk, but the answer is very compelling.The skies are grey and it doesn't seem to be getting any warmer any time soon.

As the climate warms, UK farmers may be able to start growing new crops - from oranges to okra. That's according to a new study from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the University of East Anglia which looks at the future suitability of more than 160 existing and new food crops in a warming climate.We visit the new International Barley Hub in Dundee, where scientists are exploring the genetic diversity found in their collection of ancient barley varieties for traits that could be beneficial on modern farms.And it's five years since the UK left the EU. For farmers that meant leaving the EU Common Agricultural Policy and transitioning to new policies which are being drawn up by the different UK nations, since agriculture is devolved. We ask how it's going.Presented by Caz Graham Produced by Heather Simons

With his background in building drug development companies, Doug highlighted the lack of practical tools for addressing these issues. Michael expressed his interest in innovative solutions to mental health problems, given his personal experience with clinical depression. The conversation was set to be more organic and conversational, with Doug sharing more about his company and their approach to mental health. Paradigm Shift in Drug Development Doug expressed his belief that their work has the potential to be a paradigm shift in drug development, moving from daily treatment of symptoms to more interventional therapies that can rapidly fix conditions like depression. He highlighted the promising results from their studies, with patients experiencing benefits lasting at least a year after just a couple of doses. Michael shared his personal experience with depression and burnout, emphasizing the importance of their work in addressing this widespread issue. He also asked Doug about his ability to anticipate future challenges and steps in the approval process for their work. Drug Development Challenges and Success Doug discussed the challenges and complexities of drug development, particularly in the mental health sector. He highlighted the team's experience and success in developing treatments, with 60+ INDs and 37 exits. Doug also emphasized the personal motivation of the team members, many of whom have been affected by mental health issues. He acknowledged the regulatory hurdles and administrative complexities involved in drug development but stressed the importance of these steps in creating effective treatments. Michael added that the success of the treatments could also positively impact the revenue of psychiatrists and their practices. Improving Mental Health Care Efficiency Doug discussed the potential of a new treatment to improve mental health care. He highlighted that depressed patients require a lot of attention, often visiting their physicians multiple times a year for medication adjustments and dealing with side effects. He also pointed out the shortage of psychiatrists and the long wait times for new patients. Doug suggested that their treatment, which only requires dosing once or twice, could keep patients out of the system for at least a year, freeing up resources for new patients. He also mentioned the potential for interventional psychiatry centers to see more patients if the treatment reduces the required visits. Mental Health and Metabolic Connection Michael and Doug discussed the challenges of mental health, particularly financial stress and depression. Michael shared his personal experience of overcoming depression with the help of medication and therapy and expressed his excitement about the potential of innovative work in mental health. Doug emphasized the link between metabolic health and mental health, suggesting that a poor diet can lead to reduced mental function and that mental health issues can affect an individual's metabolic health. Both agreed on the importance of addressing mental health issues to improve overall well-being and happiness. Phase 3 Program Progress and Strategy Doug discussed the progress of their phase 3 program, focusing on the challenges and complexities involved, such as drug scheduling and licensing. He expressed optimism about the potential of their treatments, citing their significant effects and the absence of dosing every day in their studies. Doug also outlined their long-term strategy, which includes leveraging their phase 3 approval in depression to treat other conditions and shift from daily chronic dosing to more interventional treatments. He emphasized the potential to break the cycle of polypharmacy and create a platform for various treatments. Michael supported their work and encouraged more people to learn about their efforts.

(The Real Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone) *** In 1929 the Soviet Union decided seven days a week just too many to keep track of, and it's easier to count by five – so in the USSR they suddenly began to live life with only five days per week. No more weekends. How do you think the citizens took that news? (What is Life in a Five Day Week?) *** While not nearly as well-known as its larger Bermudan brother, the Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts in the United States is home to strange tales itself, with the paranormal, unexplained, and even home to its very own cryptid. (The Eerie Inhabitants of the Mysterious Bridgewater Triangle) *** Author Margaret Helen James wrote, “There is an uncomfortable sort of ghostly terror, in beast form, that haunts the villages on the borders of the two counties, which is commonly called the ‘Hateful Thing'. I allude to the churchyard or hell-beast.” Something was terrifying people in the marshlands of a small county in England and tales of it can still bring nightmares to those who live there today.

For sixteen years, his undead reign brought terror to the living and torment to his widow. But when the villagers finally rose against him, they unearthed a horror beyond imagination. (Jure Grando: The First Vampire) *** For nearly a millennium, a monstrous black dog with eyes like burning coals has stalked the foggy coastlines and ancient churches of East Anglia, leaving death and terror in its silent wake. From its first recorded appearance in 1127 where it led a spectral hunting party through Peterborough, to its most infamous attack in 1577 when it allegedly killed four churchgoers, the creature known as Black Shuck has become far more than just another ghost story. Through centuries of sightings and evolving folklore, this massive demon hound has transformed from a Viking guardian spirit into one of Britain's most enduring legends - one that some locals insist still prowls the shadows of Norfolk and Suffolk to this day. (Black Shuck: East Anglia's Demon Hound) *** In 1857 London, the Bacon family's home became the center of supernatural chaos when mysterious sounds and flying objects drew crowds of over a thousand spectators to their modest Bermondsey residence. But when thirteen-year-old Caroline confessed to creating the ghostly disturbances using strands of hair to topple objects, her deception was revealed as an act of rebellion against her father and new stepmother. This tale of a fake haunting offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian family dynamics and the desperate measures one girl took to assert her independence. (The Bermondsey Poltergeist) *** In October 1975, what began as a late-night drive for two young men in rural Maine turned into an encounter that would haunt them forever. David Stephens had no memory of being taken aboard a massive UFO by mushroom-headed beings until months later, when hypnosis sessions revealed the terrifying truth about the hours he lost that night – an experience so profound that it would drive his friend Glen to flee the state and change both their lives forever. (Night of the Mushroom Men) *** Could the Moon's perfect positioning—exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and precisely placed for total eclipses—be more than cosmic coincidence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler propose a mind-bending theory: that future humans (or their advanced robots) traveled back in time 4.6 billion years to construct the Moon, creating the exact conditions needed for life on Earth to emerge. Their provocative hypothesis suggests we might be caught in an infinite loop, with humanity traveling to the past to ensure its own creation, much like the ancient symbol of Ouroboros—a snake eternally consuming its own tail.
