People love to gossip, but gossip differs from normal human tendency to talk about each other. Gossip tends to focus on negative information, and often is used to demean their subject. It typically centres on the negative aspects of a person, and often is used for revenge. People often like to gossip since they feel it gives them a sense of power, and they share gossip as a way to display their power.
With the invention of the internet; gossip now has a platform where it can cause even more harm than in the past, since it can reach millions in minutes. But some gossip historically went beyond hurtful behaviour, and it actually altered history.

Do you know what I missed during COVID lockdowns? I missed going out to a restaurant, or having drinks with my friends in a bar. There is nothing quite like partaking in an alcoholic beverage while catching up with friends. Many people use these spots as meeting places, but sometimes the regulars never actually leave.

For nearly 40 years, people would see a billboard on Route 16 near Fayetteville, West Virginia with grainy pictures of five children. Their eyes looked off this billboard, and into a person’s soul. Their story started on Christmas in 1945 when the family went to bed, and woke up in fiery blaze. The official story is that these children died in the blaze that day…but did they?
Just a heads up here my dear listeners…today will will be talking about death by fire…listener discretion is advised.

When I was 16 I met one of my sister’s male friends. We got along great, and I really looked forward to seeing him again. But when I did - his reaction was not what I expected. He was angry at me. He said that he saw me the week previous while I was working at a local coffee shop, but when he said hello I looked at him like he had three heads. He started to talk to me, but I ignored him completely. I was extremely rude…but the thing was…I wasn’t. I didn’t work at a coffee shop, and I didn’t even go to that area since the last time we met. I never ran into him at all. He didn’t believe me until my sister confirmed what I said. He was shocked. He apologized, and said the only explanation was that I had a doppelgänger. I laughed it off, but during the next few months more and more people approached me upset that I would not talk to them when they approached me. Each time they told me the situation, I had an alibi for the day that they supposedly ran into me. Then just as quickly as this started - it stopped. No more weird confrontations…my doppelgänger disappeared. You may think that this is unusual, but it actually is a lot more common that you think.

Identical twins share a bond like no other. They are the result of one fertilized egg that split in two which results in them having identical DNA. They have the same physical features, and often live through the same childhood experiences. But this doesn’t mean they are the same person.
Many twins grow to have different likes and dislikes, and live completely different lives than their sibling. But in the case of June and Jennifer Gibbons, they were not like other twins. In fact, it wasn’t until one twin met her untimely death that the other started to reclaim a sense of normalcy in her life.

Everyone loves a good mystery, and finding out at the end what really happened. But some mysteries don’t have the usual satisfying end that tells us who the bad guy actually was. Some mysteries are just strange, creepy, and remain unsolved.

From inside a one bedroom house in New York State, a movement was born. Spiritualism took the world by storm, and the Fox sisters were at the very centre of it. But were they actually what they said they were?

Lighthouses carry a special place in history, and they still are very important today. These were manned by lighthouse keepers who’s main duty was to watch the light, which historically was a lantern that they had to make sure it burned bright and clean. They also had to ensure that the lights mechanisms stayed operational so it would flash in its own unique distance pattern. During foggy patches and stormy weather, multiple lighthouse keepers would work. One would operate the signals, while the other would operate the light.
Lighthouse keepers would work very long days and nights, because if they didn’t disaster could strike. It was because of these people that ships would be able to safely go in and out of harbours. These people were the ones who warned ships crew that there were rocky coasts or dangerous shallow waters. They were invaluable, but what if the job was even more dangerous than anyone could have known?

I was really excited to hear that ten years after the tv show Dexter ended, that producers decided to bring it back. In case you haven’t heard of it or watched it, the TV show Dexter is about a man who is an adorable but awkward blood splatter analyst for the Miami Police Department by day - and a serial killer at night. His adoptive father detected his son’s murderous ways very early, and using his skills from his job as a Miami Police Officer - he taught Dexter his “code”. So what was this code? Dexter could only target evil people, and specifically serial killers like himself.
As the series progresses, Dexter tries to hide his dark side while he struggles with the morality of his duel nature. As much as this show is great entertainment, for some it was an inspiration. And one of those people who was inspired - just happened to live in my very own neighbourhood.
