Tales of little people exist all over the planet. Stories involving Leprechauns, Dwarves, Hobgoblins, Imps, sprites…..the list is long. Just amongst different American Indian tribes there exist dozens of stories of “pygmy” people. For many, many years we assumed that stories of little people were just that, stories. Yarns.

Ten Missing Days Until 1582, the Christian world ran on the Julien Calendar. Unfortunately, because the Julian Calendar was actually longer than a standard […]
During the the cold war era the Soviet Union was thought of as being a military super power with near impregnable air defences. The thought of a plane landing in Moscow’s Red Square was laughable. No enemy would dare try. But a teenager with a Cessna dared to try. Not only did he try, he […]

It’ll all make sense soon. Conrad Gessner, a Swiss naturalist is shopping when he stumbles across what looks like a dead mermaid hanging in a curiosity […]
Candyman is a horror movie released in 1992. Ask anyone who was a teen or young adult around this time their thoughts on the movie and you’ll find most suddenly shout Candyman! Candyman!
