ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, September 2...

1857: Diarist Lyman L. Palmer records that a shower of candy fell on some parts of Lake County, California, overnight, and that the incident repeats itself nine days later. He writes: "It is said that on both of these nights there fell a shower of candy or sugar. The crystals were from one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch in length and the size of a goose quill. Syrup was made of it by some of the lady residents of the section."
