I had planned several posts on holiday horrors, but I’ve been ill and I just don’t have the energy.

Instead, let’s reprise some of the holiday hits of the past.

Leeches, Radium, and a Corpse in a Box: Strange Christmas Presents of the Past. Just what it says…

When Santas Go Rogue  BAD Santas.

Abby Warner’s Christmas Rappings. It was a far from silent night, when young Abby Warner went to a Christmas service in Massillon Ohio.

Mary, Queen of Scots Wails on Christmas Eve  Predicting a royal death…

O Tödliche Baum! O Tödliche Baum!  Killer Christmas trees.

I wish all of my readers the best of holiday seasons and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. I’ll be back in 2018 with more Fortean Fun.
