b'Movies like Shaun of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, and TV shows like The Walking Dead, have made the subject of zombies a fairly popular topic over recent years. And while we all know these undead creatures are purely make-believe, the idea of the zombie has been around for thousands of years\\u2026 and in the Voodoo culture, they\\u2019ve found a way to make zombies a real, horrifying thing. (The Disturbing Truth Behind Voodoo Zombies) *** In July of 1956, the SS Andrea Doria collided with another ship and quickly sank to the bottom of the ocean. Today it is a tourist destination for brave divers who not only want to see something hauntingly beautiful, but who also dare to investigate a wreck that has been deemed by many to be cursed \\u2013 and for good reason. (The Cursed Remains of the SS Andrea Doria) *** Paranormal author and researcher G. Michael Vasey tells of a personal incident that took place recently where he saw what could be described as a \\u201cperipheral person\\u201d. (Peripheral People) *** Sir Clive Sinclair might have been a man ahead of his time. The late inventor created all manner of strange and wonderful gadgets \\u2013 most of which you\\u2019ve likely never heard of. But that doesn\\u2019t mean you can say they were failures. (The Inventor of Weird Contraptions) *** If the legends are to believed, you\\u2019ll want to avoid driving down Nan Tucks Lane in East Sussex - unless you don\\u2019t mind coming into contact with a vengeful ghost. (The Witch of Nan Tucks Lane) *** Where in the bible do we see the story of fallen angels sleeping with women to produce a breed of giants? Most would point to the book of Genesis \\u2013 but in the unincluded book of Enoch, it tells a more-detailed account, worthy of a horror movie. (The Story of Giants and Fallen Angels) *** Some people collect baseball cards, others coins, and others Pokemon. There\\u2019s no telling what someone might find enough of an interest in to begin collecting. And collecting books is one of the most common \\u2013 but when your collecting becomes a compulsion and you can\\u2019t stop yourself, it can get out of hand. Just ask Thomas Phillipps\\u2026 the man who was addicted to books\\u2026 to an extreme level. (The Man Who Was Addicted To Books)
