Pie and Punch and You Know Whats by Robert McCloskey 21.10.2022

"And by the way,” the stranger added, “don’t play it! I beg of you to never set needle to its black unbreakable surface, and never let its sounds escape from this beautiful, gaudy jukebox.” The stranger paused while Homer and Freddy nodded and gulped. Suddenly, without the least trace of humor, the stranger laughed, “Hah, hah, hah!” and changed to a lovely shade of blue-green. “But you will,” he w...

A Warning to the Curious by M.R. James 09.10.2022

"Then it all came out: Paxton looked over his shoulder and beckoned to us to come nearer to him, and began speaking in a low voice: we listened most intently, of course, and compared notes afterwards, and I wrote down our version, so I am confident I have what he told us almost word for word. He said: 'It began when I was first prospecting, and put me off again and again. There was always somebody...

What Was the Curse of Oak Island? 16.08.2022

The most mysterious and interesting circumstances of all are those connected with the hidden treasures of Oak Isle, or rather Kidd Island, which is situated opposite Chester about forty miles west of Halifax, on the Atlantic coast.

In northeastern Wisconsin, fires set by hunters, Indians, lumberjacks, railroad workers, and farmers burning stumps and rubble culminated in the nation's worst forest fire, in terms of lives lost.

James Herriot's Chaotic First Day as a Veterinarian 05.02.2022

This chapter from "All Creatures Great and Small," is the only one that’s really worth reading out of the whole book. I would discourage anyone from reading this book because there’s a good deal of vile language in it and the fact that it all devolves into a romance at the end. But I once had dreams of being a veterinarian myself and this story opened my eyes as to what a tough profession it truly...
