him."

HUNTING THE WREN
Today is St Stephen's Day, the day the wren was officially hunted, probably as a leftover from Celtic paganism. Originally the wren was killed, but this no longer happens. The wren is accounted the King of Birds in a folktale which goes as follows. The birds agreed that whichever bird could fly highest would be king. The Eagle thought this was in the bag as far as he was concerned, but the crafty Wren perched on the Eagle's head and, when the large bird had reached his highest, the Wren took off and flew a few inches higher, thus attaining the monarchy.
The Wren Hunt (without harming the bird) is still carried on here in Ireland on this day. The link below goes to an article on the Wren Hunt generally in Celtic mythology.

1899: Montana's Anaconda Standard newspaper reports
the following, for what it may be worth, allegedly occurring somewhere in
Wisconsin:
"Suddenly Mr. Jones was startled by observing a blinding
gleam in the northeastern heavens,
which fascinated his attention s the fatal eye of the
basilisk is said to render impotent its victims.
He gave a loud outcry and the other members of the party
rushed out of the hut in alarm.
According to their common evidence all of them then saw what
appeared to be a permanent streak of lightning painted on the sky. While they were
yet gazing in astonishment at this
manifestation, for the night was clear and the stars were
shining brightly, the tail of this serpent
of fire began to fade and the head to increase in volume and
rapidly draw nearer to their camp. 'A fiendish, hissing noise,' reports Guide
Jones, attended this alteration of appearance, and
at least three members of the party—Daniel Burgess of
Wunkookoo, Walter Feathers of Loon
Lake and Charley Martin of near White Squaw a nephew of old
Bill Jones, the guide—aver that
they distinguished menacing words and heard mocking laughter
as the fiery thing plunged into the earth almost at their feet. The ground was
calcined for a rod around in all directions where
the meteor struck and the hunting party fled in terror all
but Feathers, who fainted on the spot.
When the others had sufficiently recovered from their panic
they returned to the spot to find Feathers still unconscious and the aerolite
disappeared below the surface of the soil which was still burning hot to the
touch. They spent the remainder of Thursday in discussing the marvel and
waiting for the ground to cool. Yesterday they procured spades and after much
severe labor exhumed the strange fragment, which they intend
to place on exhibition having
formed a stock company for that purpose. The aerolite was
discovered six feet three and a half inches below the surface as measured by a
tape. In form it is not unlike the popular conception of an Egyptian mummy, but
of gigantesque proportions, being more than eight feet
in height or length. There seem to be evidences of rudimentary
arms folded to the sides of the singular visitor, and the head bear distinct
features resembling those of human beings. The mouth is especially well formed
and remains half open, revealing a cavity within. Upon
blowing into this aperture a gruesome wailing cry is
returned by the aerolite, not unlike that of a child in pain. This is
accompanied by profound like rushing wind. Guide Jones and his party feel
confident they have discovered a valuable prize and refuse all offers of participation
in their good luck."

1963: A fisherman in Libreville, Gabon, reports a close
encounter with a UFO, saying that a "terrifying creature" of vaguely
human form emerged, addressing him in a language he could not understand,
leaving footprints in the sand before it returned to its craft and flew away.
And meanwhile, as billions celebrate various holidays around the
world, it's time to remember the true, original significance of December 25th, derived
from various "pagan" religions, before it was hijacked and
transformed.

FAIRIES AT CHRISTMAS
This is a strange story of a man who, at Christmas in 1900, claimed he was abducted by Fairies in Newfoundland. The man was said to be mad, subject to hallucinations, but this is doubtful.
