ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, March 18....

2003: I married my lovely wife Heather at Fort Augustus, Scotland, overlooking Loch Ness. Elsewhere...

1976: The Alton (Illinois) Telegraph reports that an "ape" recently seen near Moro has been "added to [the] area's list of animalistic spooks." Others include the "Gooseville Bear," sighted in August 1949, a "great snake" from East Alton, and "a seven-foot-tall man-beast with long white shaggy hair periodically reported between Marine and Edwardsville." All those mysterious beasts were apparently confined to Madison County, fertile ground for monster hunters!
