It's another top-5 round-up of paranormal mysteries from the San Benedetto Paranormal Museum. Here we go (in no particular order)...
1) In the way-back machine, an Illinois man reports an encounter with a strange, winged human back in... 1957. Is this another Mothman sighting?
2) UFOs have been in the news a lot lately. But how is the quality of reporting? David Halperin reviews the latest NYT UFO reporting.
3) And speaking of UFOs... Another crop circle, er, cropped up.
4) Oregon boasts the highest per capita Bigfoot sightings... for a state without sales tax. (Interesting qualifier).
5) Astrologers were the Quants of the Ancient World. (A cool excerpt from a book about the history of astrology, A Scheme of Heaven).
Welcome to the Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum!
A Perfectly Proper Murder.
When Maddie Kosloski’s career flatlines, she retreats to her wine country hometown for solace and cheap rent. Railroaded into managing the local paranormal museum, she’s certain the rumors of its haunting are greatly exaggerated. But then a fresh corpse in the museum embroils Maddie in murders past and present, making her wonder if a ghost could really be on the loose.
With her high school bully as one of the detectives in charge of the investigation, Maddie doubts justice will be served. When one of her best friends is arrested, she knows it won’t be. Maddie also grapples with ghost hunters, obsessed taxidermists, and the sexy motorcyclist next door as outside forces threaten. And as she juggles spectral shenanigans with the hunt for a killer, she discovers there truly is no place like home.
