ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD



On This Day in Weird, October 29...

1811: Farmer John M'Isaac signs an affidavit swearing that he had met a mermaid in Campbeltown, Scotland. He convinces an attorney and two ministers, witnesses to his statement, leaving them "satisfied that he was impressed with a perfect belief, that the appearance of the animal he has described was such as he has represented it to be."



1997: Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, dies in San Francisco, California, at age 67.
