Dear New Owner

Imagine someone handing you the keys to your dream home; a beautiful house in an idyllic little neighbourhood that you’ve just spent 1.3 million dollars on. You’re excited to move in, to bring your children, and to start the next chapter of your life amongst the other families on the street. Sure, there’s a few touch ups to be done but it’s nothing a few contractors and some helpful hands can’t take care of. Soon enough it’ll be the perfect home. 

But then a letter arrives in your mailbox, unaddressed and unsettling.

“Dearest new neighbor at 657 Boulevard. Allow me to welcome you to the neighborhood.”

 Edison’s Spirit Phone

Following the First World War, spiritualism and the study of the afterlife saw a surge in popularity as desperate families searched for ways to hold onto those taken from them. The war had left people with a sense of uncertainty and a fear of the future. It made sense that many turned to those who claimed they could reach a world beyond— and even make contact with the loved ones they had lost. Mediums and mystics emerged at all corners of society, offering to commune with the deceased. For a price, of course. 

Amongst those attempting this contact with those no longer living, emerged a man of science, someone you might’ve not expected to be associated with the study of the afterlife. Phonographs and lightbulbs sure, but what in the world did Thomas Edison have to do with the dead?

Well, I rejoined Facebook, much to my chagrin. But I figured it was necessary to reach the most people.

Something in the Water

Despite making up seventy percent of the surface of our planet, much of the ocean is unknown to us. It is estimated that over eighty percent of the earth’s watery depths have yet to be explored by mankind. Really, it’s no wonder that there are so many stories about monsters lurking beneath the waves.  But the untraversed waters are not the only places in the ocean where mysteries have confounded the human mind. Divers and explorers of the deep have often stumbled upon things they couldn’t immediately explain. I’m sure you’ve heard many stories of lost shipwrecks and giant squids, fantastical wonders of the sea– but a lesser known phenomenon of underwater crop circles discovered in the 1990s left scientists puzzled for years.  Was there some sort of ritual happening on the ocean floor? Maybe. But not the kind you might be expecting. For article click here:
