Just ask Leonard Shoulders, a 33-year old New Yorker who, in a freak accident, was swallowed by a sinkhole while waiting for a bus. Shoulders tumbled 15 feet and the pit of large, red-eyed rats he fell into did little to break his fall; he left the ordeal with broken bones and injuries to his face.
The physical toll, however, is nothing compared to the mental one. Shoulders’ family says he’s been “deeply traumatized” by the incident, during which rats crawled over his face and body, their filthy, cheese-flecked noses in search of warm burrows. “He didn’t want to yell,” his brother told CBS New York, “because he was afraid there were going to be rats inside his mouth.” | |

Rumors of tainted, poisoned or otherwise murderous Halloween candy handed out to unsuspecting youngsters are as much a part of the Halloween tradition as costumes and sing-song pleas for sweets. The myth goes like this—no kid is safe on October 31 because psychotic murderers may hand out tainted treats to trick-or-treating children.
But is poisoned Halloween candy a terrifying threat or an urban legend? | |

The secret to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre isn’t its mythology, or its characters: It's the sense of raw panic, an inescapable nightmare that short-circuits the logical parts of your brain and allows deeper, more animalistic instincts to kick in. | |

In 1927, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist named Philipp Lenard penned a letter to a colleague complaining about recent achievements by Albert Einstein and musing that academia and the sciences were becoming dominated by Jews.
Lenard, an early supporter of Germany's Nazi Party, remarked that a prestigious appointment for Einstein was undeserved; he then wondered if non-Jews would soon be wiped out entirely.
The original letter, written in German, is up for auction at Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles. Bidding for the item, which also includes an English translation, starts at $16,000 US, according to the auction listing. | |

2,550 mostly Black and Hispanic voters in southeast Ridgeland, a historic white-flight suburb outside just north of Jackson, were quietly rezoned out of their racially mixed precinct this summer. They were placed, instead, into an already majority non-white one. | |

“TODAY IS THE FIRST SEANCE,” says a short-haired woman in a pink cocktail dress, seconds before blissful footage of fog flowing over a lake takes over the screen while acoustic guitar music plays. The scene is meant to give viewers a taste of the mysteries to come, but it feels more like the beginning of a late-night infomercial.
It’s October 8, 1989, and our glitzed-up presenter is here to introduce millions of Soviet citizens to the power of psychic healing. Her services, it seems, are needed; to say there’s too much happening in the world around them would be an understatement. Years later, in his book Nationalist Mobilization and the Collapse of the Soviet State, Princeton professor Mark Beissinger would dub this era of the Soviet Union a period of “thickened history”—the final years of the Soviet era, in which “the pace of events . . . outstripped the movement of institutions and the understanding of leaders.” | |
