@TheTwilightZone

1) I love @TheTwilightZone. One of my favourite episodes is The Shelter. It's a shocking but effective example of how fear can breed paranoia, bigotry & wanton aggression. The story begins with an innocent & convivial scene, neighbourhood friends celebrating someone's birthday

2) Then, after a radio news alert about a possible nuclear holocaust & strange sightings in the sky, these neighbours suddenly reveal their true, inner selves. With only 1 house that has a fallout shelter, the so-called civilized human beings become an angry mob.

3) Violence and racial bigotry become rampant as the neighbours' pound on the shelter's door until it breaks open.

At this point, another radio announcement that the forthcoming nuclear attack is a false alarm.

@Airmatic

1) Ductwork specialists @Airmatic, were curious to find out the most expensive types of dust available. Working with dust daily, they’ve ranked their dusty findings to decipher exactly the types you wouldn’t want going into one of their extraction systems. The full list is below:

2) House dust - This is your everyday cleaning enemy around the house, made from dirt, skin cells, pet hair & fabric fibres. You can get this for free, which is why it takes the bottom spot as the cheapest type of dust. It’s not even worth our time to put a price on it.

3) Sawdust - A type of wood dust that comes from cutting timber; unless you’re a carpenter, you may not see too much of this stuff. However, it's used a lot for various animals & their beds. Not quite free but fairly cheap, unlike the horse. A 1kg bag will set you back just £1.10

1. I Am always in awe of people who put their heads above the parapets in an effort to want to try to better the paranormal. It is an admirable yet arduous task but not without risk as any new paranormal 'thing' is always going to divide opinions.

2. There'll always be questions, why and who is involved? Is it needed? How can this work when the paranormal might not even be real? Impartiality, experience, transparency, finances etc, etc. I'll be honest, I am not a fan of rules in the paranormal.

3. Yes to guidelines, morals, ethics, respect & respectability etc, that goes without saying but am often conflicted by being told 'how to be', & 'how to do' because most of us know 'how to be' & 'how to do' & most of us are blessed with morals & respect. twitter.com/ukparanormalsoc

1. Am sure we all know this fella, Edgar Allen Poe, writer & poet famed for his macabre mystery tales. In 1838 he wrote, “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym”.
Arthur is on a ship when the crew mutiny, there's a storm, most of the crew are killed and the survivors are scattered.

2. Food is a real problem; they hunt, kill & eat a turtle, but it's not enough. So they play straws to see who will be eaten. That person is Richard Parker, one of the mutineers, consequently, they kill him & the survivors eat him. Eventually, they are rescued.

3. In 1884, a ship called the Mignonette embarked on a voyage from England to Australia. The ship faced a terrible storm off the east coast of Africa and the survivors were adrift without water or food. They manage to capture, kill and eat a turtle; However, it was not enough.

@weinberg_kate

1. “Like many good stories,” writes @weinberg_kate, “it started on a cold, dark night. Agatha Christie, already a literary celebrity, having been overheard arguing with her husband, kissed her sleeping daughter goodbye and, with a crunch of gravel, drove off into the night.

2. The following morning, her Morris Cowley was discovered crashed on the edge of a chalk pit, headlamps still blazing, her coat and a bottle labelled ‘poison lead and opium’ abandoned on the back seat.” Agatha was well on her way to being history's best-selling novelist.

3. She disappeared from her home in Surrey on December 3rd, 1926. Her mother died earlier that year; a few months after that, her husband announced that he had fallen in love with another woman. But still, her disappearance was unexpected—and it remains largely unexplained.

1. This is Tyburn Tree, London’s largest site for public hangings from at least 1177 until 1798 when Newgate Prison became the new home for this macabre form of entertainment.
Out of the thousands executed there, one famous case was that of William Duell.

2. Indicted on charges of rape, robbery & murder, the 17-year-old was convicted of rape & sentenced to death. On a bitter winter’s day in November 1740, he faced the noose at Tyburn. After being hanged for 22 minutes, he was cut down and his body was hauled into a hackney coach.

3. His body was taken to Barber-Surgeons’ Hall to be dissected for purposes of medical research. The surgeon & his assistants got a shock when they placed the corpse on the slab though & it groaned. Further examination revealed signs of life & after a while he was able to sit up.
