ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD



On This Day in Weird, November 13...

1833: Residents of Rahway, New Jersey, report a "fiery rain" of unknown objects that turn into flat, transparent "lumps of jelly" when the strike the ground. Within hours, the substance disintegrates into small white particles, crumbling to dust when touched. The strange fall occurs during a meteor shower over the eastern United States.



1974: Ronald DeFeo Jr. murders his parents and four siblings at their home in Amityville, Long  Island, New York, thereby setting the stage for multiple books and movies on the "Amityville Horror," alleging or debunking demonic possession.
