Summary

Apologies to my Weirdo Family of listeners. I am still struggling with health issues (migraines and vertigo) due to the constant weather changes here in northern Illinois. Because of this, I am still having to post Dark Archive episodes. I will return to creating new episodes whenever I can, though it may be sporadic until we get past this crazy season of drastically rising and falling temperatures, rain and snow, high winds, barometric pressure changes, etc.

IN THIS EPISODE: (Dark Archives episode, originally posted October 16, 2019) Ufology might seem like a fringe science — but it's a fringe science our government knows all too well. (Project Blue Book) *** Life in Victorian times was considerably more dangerous than now, if the newspaper reports of the time are anything to go by. (The Art of Dying in Victorian Times) *** It’s easy to a consider single witnesses of a big hairy creature as mistaken or confused, or even fraudulent, as if a practical joke. But add a second witness to the same sighting, and suddenly the encounter becomes a lot more believable. (The Creature of Coffs Harbour) *** Did Mother Damnable—aka Mary Ann Boyer, Seattle's original taskmistress —really turn to stone after her death in 1873? (The Madam Who Turned To Stone)
