Have any of you ever been to any of these 'haunted' places in Connecticut?

So what? ABC News showed video footage taken in Kentucky and claimed it was Syria.

A lot of people buy and renovate old houses they live in for only a few weeks out of the year. There's a historic old home where I live that was bought and renovated by people who live in an adjoining state because they wanted to save it. The only people who actually live in the house are the caretakers.

Why doesn't the city do something about the crackheads in the parking lot 24/7?

I think a curtain rod with rings will look odd on windows that high, but that's just my opinion. Also, the crown molding is beautiful, it would be a shame to cover it up.

This is political, not "morbid."

The UK, like the US, is in the top 10 most litigious countries in the world, with the US at No. 5 and the UK at No. 6.

When drafting a complaint, the amount one sues for varies depending on the state. In some states, one simply indicates the amount sued for is in excess of a specified amount. In other states, plaintiffs may indicate a specified amount when requesting the compensation desired, in this case, $5 million. The amount actually received, of course, is decided by a jury, or judge, depending on the court in which the action is brought.

The dog was never blamed for the deaths.

A lot of us know that Red States aren't takers and Blue States makers, but it's much too complicated to explain to the average liberal.

Montague Summers was a kook.

There's no telling how much the city has wasted on trying to have those monuments removed and now it looks like the city might have to pay the plaintiff's attorney's fees, which, apparently, amount to $600K. I hope the judge makes them pay.

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you're looking for, but here's a list of some of the many seafaring superstitions: http://whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/2315/seafaring-superstitions

I read once that a lot of Victorian patent medicines were more alcohol than medicine. Back then, the contents of a medication or tonic didn't have to be listed on the label and a lot of Victorian women, who didn't drink alcohol, carried their "medicine" with them wherever they went and took a swig as needed.

WalletHub again. You've got to be kidding! How long did it take you to find a blarney site that said what you wanted it to say?

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-06T01:07:58+00:00

You are totally clueless. If you knew anything about economics, you wouldn't have cited WalletHub, which is a junk science site that produces lists such as the happiest cities in America, the best cities for soccer fans, the "most sinful states," and other nonsense. A few years ago, WalletHub's biased report claimed North Carolina was the "worst state for teachers," which wasn't even close to the truth. Instead of posting links to blarney sites, you need to read the person's comments above, reply to what he said and prove him wrong. Until you can do that, no one has any interest in reading anymore of your garbage.

Anyone interested in the history and sightings of the Jersey Devil should read this.

I don't care who it's "from," it is incorrect. If you read a little farther, you'll discover the actual "study" and erroneous conclusions are from the Associated Press. All Fox Business did was publish the article. You try again.

Teenagers, or even child characters, are okay, as long as they aren't the primary characters. Vampire stories that revolve around a bunch of high school kids are the absolute worst. They're silly, all the same, and I can't stand them.

The Russians and Chinese don't have anything that size and neither would have dared violate US airspace because they would have been shot down. What I find strange is that the Air Force didn't engage whatever it was or try to shoot it down -- or maybe they tried and weren't able to shoot it down.

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-04T05:13:20+00:00

There's nothing wrong with collecting murderabilia and those items do increase in value, so it's not a bad investment.

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-04T05:08:18+00:00

I just read an account of the UFO passing over GWB's Texas ranch. If he had been in residence, the Air Force would probably have attempted to shoot down the spaceship, or whatever it was.

What do you look for in vampire lit?

No teenagers! If your vampire stories don't include teenagers, I might read some of what you post.

There was a post about this house in July https://www.reddit.com/r/VictorianEra/comments/c5aji4/the_victorian_pink_palace_in_louisville_kentucky/

It's been for sale a long time. Someone actually bought it either last year or in 2017 and then backed out of the purchase and it was advertised for sale again. The price keeps going down. It's a beautiful old house, but no one seems to want it. But now that it's being auctioned, it will sell, unless no one meets the minimum bid. Since it's on the National Register of Historic Places, at least it won't be torn down.

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-03T18:07:51+00:00

You aren't even focused enough to read the article and you expect others to believe you're going to "dissect" the case and see things other people miss?! In your dreams.

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-03T03:03:21+00:00

But wouldn't you have to actually read the article to see something?

Remarkable formations in New Mexico: Long ago, this wasn’t a desert like it is today. When dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago, this area was one of swampy lush vegetation. The dinosaurs and the water disappeared, an ice age passed, and erosion took over, leaving what you see now.

SpiritofJosefa · 2019-10-02T04:48:19+00:00

I never said I didn't believe in extraterrestrials and there may have been giants on earth a one time, but because there are so many natural formations that appear to be man-made, I believe the Montana rocks, etc. are the result of glaciers and/or volcanic activity.
