Truth about Darkey kelly, burned as a ‘witch’ 250 years ago … but who was really a serial killer
A MACABRE anniversary this week marked the gruesome public execution of a Dublin woman whose reputation in the city’s folk memory has just been debunked.

For generations, Darkey Kelly was regarded as a woman who was burned at the stake for witchcraft after she accused the notorious Sheriff of Dublin Simon Luttrell of fathering her baby.

But new research has revealed she may have been Dublin’s first female serial killer. Read full story from herald.ie

Extrasensory perception experiment: how it worked
One reversed a simple memory test in which people are typically found to be better at recalling a selection of words – taken from a larger set – on which they focus attention.

In his version, students were shown 48 nouns – drawn from the categories of foods, animals, occupations, and clothes – on a screen for three seconds each, and asked to visualise the object described.

They were then given a surprise memory test, in which they had to recall as many of the words as possible.

Their computer then randomly selected six words from each of the four categories and these 24 nouns appeared on the screen.

The student was asked to click the 6 “food” words, which turned red when clicked, and then to retype the words into empty slots on the screen. They did this for all four categories of noun. Read full story from telegraph.co.uk

Google Maps Tracking Mysterious Animal Deaths
This is insane! I really mean it. At first I was skeptical and a bit stoic when hearing about these birds dying in a few states in the U.S., but now I can’t help but be alarmed at the plethora of reported mysterious animal deaths around the globe.

Google Maps is now tracking the rash of mysterious animal deaths that are plaguing the world. Take a look at this impressive map (or click here): Read full story from ghosttheory.com

Worst Act Of Aggression Against South Korea’ Since ’50s
We start the day with more about the unsettling news that “North Korea (has) fired at least 200 rounds of artillery at a South Korean island near the countries’ disputed western sea border.”

Two South Korean marines were killed and more than a dozen people injured in today’s incident.

On Morning Edition earlier, Dongseo University international studies professor Brian Myers spoke with co-host Steve Inskeep from Seoul. As Myers said, “this is the first time since the Korean War that we’ve had an attack on civilian territory with artillery shells. So, this is really … the worst act of aggression against South Korea that we’ve seen since the end of the Korean War.” (Myers was referring to the end of open warfare, of course, since the conflict between the North and South has never officially ended.)

Selling souls for a celery stick and playing with Ouija boards
For as long as I can remember I’ve been into horror and all things related to it. Ghosts, demons, spirits, scary movies and anything having to do with the occult are always interesting topics to me. I think it would be cool to be a vampire and live forever off the blood of the innocent or a zombie, feasting on brains and other delicacies. Does this mean I truly believe in ghosts and goblins? Not at all. What is surprising, though, is how many people actually do.

Last week, at work, a coworker and I were talking about summoning a demon to the office. We used an online Ouija board and tried to bring a demon forth to haunt our workplace. Obviously it didn’t work. Later, when we told another coworker about it, she replied by saying, “Oh, I don’t mess with that kind of stuff.” Read full story from daily49er.com

Professor explores the Isle of Man’s fascination with fairies!
THE Isle of Man’s fascination with The Fairy Bridge and Manx traditions about fairies has resulted in a British historian arranging a visit to the Island to give a lecture on the subject in January.

Professor Ronald Hutton will deliver his lecture – ‘Traditional Fairy Beliefs’ – at the Gaiety Theatre and will explore the intriguing subject of fairies, including the value that fairy stories served, whether ‘real’ or not. Read full story from isleofman.com

How BP Clashed and Cooperated With Scientists
A detail-rich, 39-page working paper from staff members of the oil spill commission says the government and BP have “much to take pride in” for their response to the crisis, given that “neither was ready for a disaster of this nature.” It says, however, that the failure to get an accurate rate of oil flow early on may have “impeded” BP’s efforts to have oil-collection equipment ready when needed.
